I have been posting here for a long time and I think my bona fides as a critic of shitliberalism are well-established over many years.
My politics can generally be described as moderate social conservatism paired with economic nationalism. My economic nationalism is, however, decidedly pan-ethnic. Indeed, I am a nationalist in significant part because of my belief in the power of American nationalism to unify across racial, ethnic, and cultural lines. During the 2016 election, Donald Trump's economic nationalism (and moderate social conservatism!) appealed to me as a breath of fresh air given the elite consensus in both parties that tended toward Davos-style globalism.
In retrospect, however, I think I allowed my desire for a conservative economic nationalist candidate to blind me to Trump's defects. I was willing to overlook his erratic behavior and apparent lack of serious reflection ("he can't really be that reckless, it's all an election-time act or 'opening bid'!"). Also, inured to claims of racism by years of shitlib wolf-crying, I was overwhelmed by the instinct to minimize, explain away, or chalk up to shitlib distortion, statements by Trump and/or his supporters that, in retrospect, truly should have been concerning (See, e.g., Trump's statements on Judge Curiel, crime-stats retweet). I also truly believed, and stood by the position that, there were very few actual racists on the American right and that the specter of white identity politics was largely a shitlib bogeyman.
I now think I was wrong about all of this. In office, Trump's recklessness and lack of serious reflection have become overwhelming. He truly comes off as a man who has never read a book. Someone linked me a few days ago to a comparison of Trump's Boy Scouts speech (rambling, often incoherent, self-aggrandizing, inappropriate to the setting and moment, lacking wisdom of any kind) with speeches to similar audiences by Mitt Romney and John Roberts (both wise, thought-provoking, humorous, self-deprecating, appropriate to the setting and moment, and classy all the way around). It has become clear to me, over many months, that his personality is uniquely "off" and ill-suited to the office.
Then came yesterday. His "on many sides" reaction to yesterday's violence truly sent a shiver down my spine. It was plain to me that this was a man who had, among his first reactions to political murder by white supremacist cretins, the overwhelming desire to make clear "hey there's violence on both sides here."
Yesterday also made me realize that true racists, and sympathizers with white identity politics, are not the exceedingly small sliver of the American right that I thought they were. That so many people here had any reaction other than the highest sympathy for the victims was actually shocking to me. It also threw into stark relief for me the toxic trend of true, sinister, racism on this board. There has been "irreverent" discussion of race on this board since almost the beginning, but it used to be largely ironic or edgy but benign (in the way that a comedian might employ racial humor). There has also always been a strong contingent of people vehemently against the law of disparate impact, affirmative action in education and employment, etc. -- often very defensible positions. But it is unquestionable that this aspect of the board has evolved into something else over the last two years or so. Like a frog in a pot, I didn't fully realize the evolution as it happened... but this place is now frequently host to vile racism of the worst sort. (see, e.g. "Reminder: Blacks don't feel guilt like whites do about anything" available at: http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3699788&mc=89&forum_id=2 ). That trend on this board leads me to believe that similar sentiments are much more wide-spread in the population than I realized.
For the first time, I now view the rise of white identity politics to be a much larger threat to the country than the excesses of shitliberalism and I intend to act accordingly. I also am done with Trump and am committed to helping a true, responsible, conservative defeat him in the 2020 primary. I'm ashamed of not coming around sooner.
Finally, threads like the one above make me want to leave this place and never look back. But then I realize there are still a lot of good people here and a lot of good, interesting, funny, thought-provoking threads about life, law, etc. And I would hate to see that XO be drowned out and destroyed by the stormfront-style cretins. I encourage the good people here to stop tolerating the cretins and instead totally ignore or, otherwise, confront and ostracize them. That's what I'll do.

cretins? more than one person drove that car, buddy.

you should be ashamed because it was really fucking obvious the entire fucking time.
the problem is this-i believe you are dead fucking wrong about this white identity bullshit being a larger threat than shitliberalism. trump isn't a white identity guy, but he knows where his bread is buttered. the white supremacy bullshit is never going to go anywhere in large part because trump's policies ensure that it won't.

I agree trump is a blithering buffoon but he's the only person who isn't blinded by the gratuitous pieties of modern political correctness to make it so America doesn't become a complete fucking shithole.
As for this, I don't know why you're bitching about it. It's completely right, and your characterization of it "political murder by white supremacist cretins" is way off - it was one nutjob.
Then came yesterday. His "on many sides" reaction to yesterday's violence truly sent a shiver down my spine. It was plain to me that this was a man who had, among his first reactions to political murder by white supremacist cretins, the overwhelming desire to make clear "hey there's violence on both sides here."

Exactly. OP seems completely unaware of the circumstances of what happened.
This was some kind of white nationalist rally that got "counterprotested" by antifa/BLM/communist scum, who started throwing rocks, feces, and engaging in fist fights with the white nationalists.
The cops were told to sit back and do nothing.
The predictable and intended result then occurred. The white nationalist rally was cancelled by the authorities due to the violence caused by these leftists.
Then this attack happened.
So Trump is completely right to blame violence by both sides because that's exactly what occurred. It's why the rally had to be cancelled to begin with.

what do you mean what about it?
No one who wasn't there knows the context of this incident. This is the first I am hearing of it and I have no support for either "side".
But this was a flashpoint of political extremists skirmishing with each other. Yes, both sides sought to inflict violence on the other.
If this man was a bystander I feel bad for him but he was a casualty of the circumstances. Many people become so in these situations and if this escalates many more will be. That is how this goes.
I also don't know about stand down orders but the state should have intervened with force to keep the groups separated.
edit: his go fund me page seems to imply he was there to counter-protest and that there was a designated medical treatment zone for injured people. If you don't understand what this is I don't know what to tell you.

"For the first time, I now view the rise of white identity politics to be a much larger threat to the country than the excesses of shitliberalism and I intend to act accordingly."
Looks like the Fake News propaganda machine finally broke you. Trump is right. There is violence on both sides. Who the fuck do you think shows up to these places and creates the violence to begin with? These are all fringe lunatics, with completely overblown media coverage, because Fake News knows that if they say "Nazi" and "white supremacist" enough, for some people it will stick.
A single person died yesterday, as she mingled among a bunch of law-breaking, club-wielding, anarchists. Should she have been killed? No. But there is massive amounts of violence in this country, and yesterday is what finally triggered you?
Trump is a liberal life-long democrat New Yorker. ljl at the notion he is some closeted Nazi.

I mostly agree, but this place has always been way over the line with the racism which is precisely why outing is so totally feared by all. It's evolved a bit in the past couple years as the zeitgeist has evolved.
I agree identity politics are a problem. I also think white identity politics being on the rise is part of identity politics blowing up over the past decade.
The reaction to Trump's initial campaign announcement made it suddenly clear that the entire political establishment was either fully shitlib or scared to death of libs on the issue of immigration, and the media almost immediately started building up the alt right and white supremacy as bogeymen, giving them tons of mainstream exposure. Lo and behold, that further drove people to extremes and gave actual hateful racists a lot more power and influence than they'd had.
They made discussing immigration so taboo that hardly anyone who cares about their reputation would comment on it if not totally shitlib. That meant anyone who wanted to read about both sides of a fundamentally important issue were very likely to go to some rather extreme sources for it, and in many cases those sources were objectively more honest than the mainstream sources, giving them credibility.
So yeah, I have no patience for actual racists, but I don't find Trump to be the problem.
And yeah, boyscout speeches aren't his thing. idgaf, we were left with no other option. We had to choose from a dozen GOP candidates who were frighteningly hawkish neocon's and shitlib-adjacent on immigration, or Hillary Clinton.
Trump isn't responsible for this shit, not nearly as much as many others.

Cr.
I initially supported him during his campaign for the same reasons as you. An economic nationalist with moderate views social views -- not a bible thumper but not willing to kowtow to the shitlib/sjw message -- was attractive. By the end of the campaign I had given up on him primarily because it was obvious that he had no concept of constitutionality, the idea of separation of powers, or even how the government worked. I liked his platform and his rejection of PC culture, but his low IQ and willful ignorance to the requirements of the office were too much. Now he's done more to destabilize our institutions (which the Paultards will celebrate) than any other president.

Non-functioning is not a realistic possibility so I'll skip discussing it.
That option is more like an inefficient administration that gets little done. This might be so inept that it's a net negative even if they were trying to do exactly what I want, but it's not likely to be very much worse than maintaining the status quo.
An effective, efficient administration, however, has potential to be very good or very bad. It can cut right through the opposition and impose its agenda at full throttle. If I'm the opposition, obviously I'd prefer an inept executive who can't make big changes happen.
There are certainly limits, as a totally inept executive can bungle things badly, but we have lots of checks on that. An incompetent leader doesn't have the power to just go rogue.

No, because an ineffectual response or a nonresponse to crises is better than exacerbating crises.
Your claim that effectiveness is always preferable in a leader is flatly, objectively wrong. This is an appropriate time to invoke Hitler: he was very effective, at being an executive.
Unless we're talking about someone who would be so inept as to straight up tank the economy or not respond to an invasion, anyway, but that's not really what we're talking about. Too much bureaucracy prevents that from happening through mere ineptitude.

The job is more complicated than you think. So you don't understand why it's better to have someone capable of doing the job as opposed to someone blatantly not capable but who has said stuff you agree with.
The job of being President is not just politics, you know. The job is much more than that.
You also assume that I am saying effectiveness is always preferable in a leader. I am not saying that. The ladder has to be placed on the right tree, of course. And While I'm not 100 percent with the tree that the dems have officially chosen, it's certainly much closer than the tree Trump's ladder keeps sliding off of.

Indeed, and that hasn't and won't have a big effect in the grand scheme of things. It would be a bigger impact if he could, and if you don't want the GOP agenda passed (I do not), that's not necessarily a bad thing for him to fail on.
And of course, the GOP is not "his party". The GOP congress and establishment has been mostly against him from day one. Their agendas overlap but they are very different in a ton of ways.
In the executive branch, where he actually has power as president, is changing under Trump, though. So he's not just unable to do anything. It's just more difficult than usual because he's a human third rail and congress wants to be reelected.
The fucking party seriously tried to derail his nomination after he was the clear choice of the voters--he does not have a majority in congress.

Racism is bad, but identity politics and constricting debate and smearing huge swaths of the ideological spectrum as racist is definitely not helping.
Trump didn't come from nowhere. He also didn't rise through the ranks of white nationalists. But the people opposing him had a fucking field day giving airtime to white nationalists in order to smear Trump by association, and made immigration policy so taboo to discuss that non-shitlib discussion was driven to radical corners of the internet. That inflates, further, the audience of racists along with the race realists and the outright nazis.
What might have avoided all this? Shitlibs being willing to have some real discussions about immigration without framing it as progressives vs the scourge of xenophobic racism. That predictably polarized America which predictably increased fringe radicalism.

Yeah I'll need a link.
The MSM was doing all they could to link Trump to nazis, kkk, and white supremacy. Meanwhile Trump is running on an alternative to normal right wing politics. As soon as the term "alt-right" is on the radar, it's framed as if it is the Trump movement and thereby the Trump movement is white supremacist.
Richard Spencer wasn't a national figure until the MSM talked about him, which they did in pretty much all cases in a blatant attempt to smear Trump by tenuous association.

I want to focus some more on this statement:
"For the first time, I now view the rise of white identity politics to be a much larger threat to the country than the excesses of shitliberalism and I intend to act accordingly."
Uh, fucking WHY? A few hundred impotent autists marched in Charlottesville, and one dipshit drive a car into counterprotesters, resulting in his immediate arrest and universal condemnation. What makes you think that is a greater threat to America than "the excesses of shitliberalism?"
-Shitlibs routinely amp people up into much larger riots than happened in Charlottesville, and even when they get violent these riots are routinely DEFENDED instead of being condemned. Maxine Waters is a lib hero and thinks the LA Riots were a grand affair
-Many shitlibs promote overt violence against cops and lawmakers, which happens more frequently than any alt-right violence
-Shitlibs support abortion on demand through birth, ridiculous gender politics, polyamory, and every other kind of society-wrecking social engineering, and they seize control of public school to propagandize children.
-Shitlibs have near absolute control of the media, allowing them to hype up every case of right-wing violence while downplaying everything committed by a left-winger or a Muslim.
-Shitlibs make entire cities uninhabitable and entire school systems useless thanks to insane policies, and then when they've ruined everything they blame the functional sectors of society and demand the freedom to run those too.
-Shitlibs support the mass importation of Muslims despite massive evidence this is a terrible fucking idea. They make excuses for now-ROUTINE incidents of Islamic terror.
-Shitlibs support the total displacement of native American culture in favor of a garbled "diverse" mess.
-In the pursuit of equality Libs are erecting vast systems of actual discrimination in education and industry to penalize Asians and white men while favoring less-qualified people from preferred groups.
-Shitlibs routinely incite online lynch-mobs to cost people their jobs and reputation if they publicly dissent from lib orthodoxy. Oppose gay marriage? Haha you're not allowed to work in entire industries now.
All this, and you think autistic white nationalists are the biggest threat to America? Fucking seriously?

I'm out of the house and posting from my phone, but will return to this later in more depth because I view you as a very good, reasonable, poster.
I still view the rise of shitliberalism as a major problem and threat to the long-term health of the country. But I now recognize the real threat of white identity politics eating away true reasonable conservatism from the inside, thereby destroying what can and should be the mainstream unifying alternative to shitlib globalism -- and also likely amplifying the shitlib response and pushing the country deeper into a cycle of acrimony. The left may bear initial responsibility for starting this cycle, but I want my side to have the wisdom and foresight to act with restraint and look for ways out of the cycle rather than merely meeting our opponents with "justified" or proportional acrimony and intemperance in response.
Also, I want to stress that my views in this thread are largely not a response to the facts on the ground of yesterday's violence, but to the response here and elsewhere on the right. Which opened my eyes to the reality that many on the right do view politics today in identitarian terms.

It's a shame, because this is 100% cuck. You will NEVER win trying to adopt the moral high ground. You are doomed to failure. You've tried this same approach for the past 20+ years, and have only lost.
The ONLY reason the GOP won this election is because Trump bucked this cuckery, and fought back head on.
I guess you labor under the delusion that if only we act with grace and dignity, the rest of the country will see that the GOP is right, and follow suit. But not only does this lack any sense of historical perspective, the national media will always frame events in such a manner that this objective will never be accomplished.
Not to mention, the left started identity politics, and they are unfortunately here to stay. This has awakened many white people (and mainly younger ones) that it's inherently unfair for every race/minority to advocate for their interests except white ones.
So they will not accept this status quo, regardless of the efforts of cucks like you. A shame, because you've made many 180 poasts, but if this is your true attitude, you are doomed to failure.

I look forward to the full response, but to react just to this, I mostly disagree that XO, or the right in general, has embraced identity politics to the extent you claim. It's there, and growing, but I think that's an inevitable side effect of identity politics being so popular in general. If that ride is a harbinger of the right going full-blown white nationalist, I think that's only because the Left has gone so insane that they've broken our whole political system for the foreseeable future.
I think right-wing racism, where it exists, is mostly of the hueristic sort and simply a version of attacking the shitlibbery or depravity they actually hate, or providing an over-the-top response to ridiculous lies in mainstream culture. Major media propagandized us about Babby Trayvon and brace Rachel Jeantell, and this bort is a (*cough*) "safe space" to call bullshit on that, often in an irreverent way.
But when we're actually being serious, racism on XO is pretty rare. Non-white conservatives on XO (Beckersted, etc.), or in the Republican Party in general (Ben Carson, etc) are generally well-liked and treated with respect or even admiration. Compare that with the Left, where people who agree with each other on almost everything routinely fracture on racial lines. Just yesterday a white Dem in Georgia was shouted down for having the temerity to run against a black woman in a primary. Such an incident is unthinkable on the right, barring a handful of truly unhinged people. Even here on XO, with all its offensiveness, we routinely ridicule the people who seem to be white nationalist true believers.

The problem you see seems to be identity politics and not Trump...
I agree there's uncomfortable amounts of racism on various chat borts, but I don't think Trump is at all the root issue.
If anything I'd want to clarify as loudly as possible that these racists speak for no one but themselves and do not represent Trump's ideology, and insisting that he does is so clearly preposterous that it seriously harms the possibility of reasonable debate. It prevents libs from engaging in good faith and gives everyone else plenty of reasons to be jaded, go to their own echo chambers, and be mutually antagonistic. Opposition and antagonism of the other side has become the primary feature of most political discussion even more than ever, in my estimation.
I seriously do not think blaming Trump helps with that, at all. I think demanding to have reasonable discussions in mainstream platforms is our best bet in the near term, not that I'm terribly hopeful about it. Long term hopefully it burns itself out a bit after a couple election cycles.

I think it's a bad development too, but that doesn't have much to do with Trump, or Trump was willing to confront it on some level and won. More people on both the left and right viewing politics in identity terms was sort of bound to happen as a result, and I'm not sure what the way out is. I want to believe in more high minded ideals and not think of myself as a member of one tribe competing w other tribes. Some are willing to use the identity card in that game. Hoping that playing by the "rules" will win in the end is a nice sentiment but it may not be reality.
I think Trump has done a decent job of trying to promote some kind of more inclusive economic nationalism as you call it, and disavowing him because of online right wing response here helps nothing except maybe the people who want you do just that

I haven't excused anything. But if you think Trump being dumb and fringe white nationalists are a bigger threat to the country than the coherent destruction wrought by tens of millions of shitlibs, you're delusional.
A white nationalist ran someone over with a car. That is evil. Trump kinda made a dumb response, like he routinely does to all sorts of things. That is unfortunate though 100% predictable by this point. To claim that these eclipse the damage that shitlibs will wreak in Chicago alone through their terrible ideology is absurd.

Trump may encourage the alt-right a bit, mostly just by being a dumb. But the left in America has consistently been FAR more tolerant of political violence, and that hasn't changed since Trump. They routinely encourage riots and downplay or ignore the inevitable results. They will unleash catastrophes far greater than mentally ill dipshits driving a car into people.

I saw what you wrote. No reason to pretend it didn't happen.
What does Trump do to egg on the Alt-Right besides not bash them enough for your liking? Has he called them patriots? Has he defended them as a group of mostly good people ruined by a few extremists? No, of course he hasn't. His egging on, as far as I can tell, is just insufficient condemnation. I don't accuse libs of egging on Islamic terror, or supporting it, just for being weak in response to it. The weakness is its own independent fault. With Trump it's an even weaker one, because he's basically a dumb, so there's almost certainly no "calculation" to appease white nationalists. Ffs, if he were that calculating he wouldn't have spent a month trying to drive off his attorney general. The white nationalists like Sessions, after all.
Terms like "un-American" don't carry too much currency with me. I think much of America is utterly rotten. I will agree that Nazis are evil, but I think the far left is just as evil, and more distressingly, they are much larger and hold far more respectable positions in society.
I'm not sure why you're asking me to "join you" in condemning them. I already have. I've always ridiculed the Richard Spencer types. But I'm not going to pretend that a tiny group of despised, powerless Internet trolls are the biggest threat to America because one of them went nuts and attacked people with a car.

I'm not pretending it didn't happen. Like I said, it was more bellicose than I intended it to be, and I didn't want to get into an argument.
To your other points: Trump has continued to accept the alt-rights support and indeed actively court it by making stupid equivocations like he did yesterday, and by doing things like making Steve Bannon his right hand man. Why can't he just say "white supremecists like the ones who gathered in Charlottesville are odious, and I reject their support."? Because he wants those people on his side.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the "far left", but I don't think black lives matter is on the same level as people who literally identify with Nazis. I think violence is the last refuge of the incompetent and if it had been a leftist mowing down people with his car I'd be equally outraged (though I bet Trump's reaction would have been different).
The biggest threat to America is either radical Islam or North Korea. Probably the latter.

"I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the "far left", but I don't think black lives matter is on the same level as people who literally identify with Nazis."
If you think BLM is the most extreme end of the political left then you need to look around more. It's not hard to find "Trotsky did nothing wrong" popular revolution types. Some of them literally teach classes.
The frightening thing about BLM isn't that it is extreme, but that it is mainstream. Your average BLMer isn't as extreme as Richard Spencer, but they are an immense popular movement that indirectly causes violence (by stoking police hatred, sometimes quite directly, e.g. Pigs in a blanket), ignores all conventions of civil debate, and issues fundamentally insane demands.

I have been posting here for a long time and I think my bona fides as a critic of shitliberalism are well-established over many years. (See, e.g., "List the STAGES of Shitlibism from its ONSET to END-STAGE" (2013), available at: http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=2346143&mc=148&forum_id=2 ; "Imagine you are a liberal Dem in '04 and I appear to you as a ghostly apparition" (2017), available at: http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3503671&mc=137&forum_id=2 ).
My politics can generally be described as moderate social conservatism paired with economic nationalism. My economic nationalism is, however, decidedly pan-ethnic. Indeed, I am a nationalist in significant part because of my belief in the power of American nationalism to unify across racial, ethnic, and cultural lines. During the 2016 election, Donald Trump's economic nationalism (and moderate social conservatism!) appealed to me as a breath of fresh air given the elite consensus in both parties that tended toward Davos-style globalism and I was undoubtedly, alas, a "trumpmo." (see, e.g., "Before the polls close, you will deny Trump three times" (2016), available at: http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3415030&mc=62&forum_id=2 ).
In retrospect, however, I think I allowed my desire for a conservative economic nationalist candidate to blind me to Trump's defects. I was willing to overlook his erratic behavior and apparent lack of serious reflection ("he can't really be that reckless, it's all an election-time act or 'opening bid'!"). Also, inured to claims of racism by years of shitlib wolf-crying, I was overwhelmed by the instinct to minimize, explain away, or chalk up to shitlib distortion, statements by Trump and/or his supporters that, in retrospect, truly should have been concerning (See, e.g., Trump's statements on Judge Curiel, crime-stats retweet). I also truly believed, and stood by the position that, there were very few actual racists on the American right and that the specter of white identity politics was largely a shitlib bogeyman.
I now think I was wrong about all of this. In office, Trump's recklessness and lack of serious reflection have become overwhelming. He truly comes off as a man who has never read a book. Someone linked me a few days ago to a comparison of Trump's Boy Scouts speech (rambling, often incoherent, self-aggrandizing, inappropriate to the setting and moment, lacking wisdom of any kind) with speeches to similar audiences by Mitt Romney and John Roberts (both wise, thought-provoking, humorous, self-deprecating, appropriate to the setting and moment, and classy all the way around). It has become clear to me, over many months, that his personality is uniquely "off" and ill-suited to the office.
Then came yesterday. His "on many sides" reaction to yesterday's violence truly sent a shiver down my spine. It was plain to me that this was a man who had, among his first reactions to political murder by white supremacist cretins, the overwhelming desire to make clear "hey there's violence on both sides here."
Yesterday also made me realize that true racists, and sympathizers with white identity politics, are not the exceedingly small sliver of the American right that I thought they were. That so many people here had any reaction other than the highest sympathy for the victims was actually shocking to me. It also threw into stark relief for me the toxic trend of true, sinister, racism on this board. There has been "irreverent" discussion of race on this board since almost the beginning, but it used to be largely ironic or edgy but benign (in the way that a comedian might employ racial humor). There has also always been a strong contingent of people vehemently against the law of disparate impact, affirmative action in education and employment, etc. -- often very defensible positions. But it is unquestionable that this aspect of the board has evolved into something else over the last two years or so. Like a frog in a pot, I didn't fully realize the evolution as it happened... but this place is now frequently host to vile racism of the worst sort. (see, e.g. "Reminder: Blacks don't feel guilt like whites do about anything" available at: http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3699788&mc=89&forum_id=2 ). That trend on this board leads me to believe that similar sentiments are much more wide-spread in the population than I realized.
For the first time, I now view the rise of white identity politics to be a much larger threat to the country than the excesses of shitliberalism and I intend to act accordingly. I also am done with Trump and am committed to helping a true, responsible, conservative defeat him in the 2020 primary. I'm ashamed of not coming around sooner.
Finally, threads like the one above make me want to leave this place and never look back. But then I realize there are still a lot of good people here and a lot of good, interesting, funny, thought-provoking threads about life, law, etc. And I would hate to see that XO be drowned out and destroyed by the stormfront-style cretins. I encourage the good people here to stop tolerating the cretins and instead totally ignore or, otherwise, confront and ostracize them. That's what I'll do.

The rant in the OP is incredibly depressing because to me it demonstrates just how easy it is to manipulate the population. You see a bunch of MSM talking points that obviously haven't been thought through or digested. The most powerful argument, apparently, is that "even if you're a law abiding and successful minority (including Asian), you're better off under the libs than you are under Trump." This, of course, has been proven false a million times in recent history. We see that in AA, we see that in how law enforcement operates, and we see that in the general culture. Yet, OP swallows it without any hesitation.
And so you see how the strategy works. Peel off successful minorities that should be huge proponents of Trump. Peel off women. Make it socially unacceptable to support Trump. So you win not on the merits, but because everyone has been manipulated into giving you what you want. The interesting thing is that you see SR noting that the shitlib menace is still an issue and he gets that, but then emotion kicks in and he parrots the usual talking points.
Anyway, very sad.

Politics tearing everything apart, and now the board.
Fuck politics. Fuck politics to death.

how exactly does the ostensibly racist contingent of trump’s base seem any more prevalent now than it did before. hardcore “alt-righters” latched onto his anti-immigration rhetoric from the start and have ridden it the whole way through. people made just as big a deal of this in june 2015 as they’re making of it now. and he was just as ostensibly ambivalent about it in 2015 as he is now. if you thought this was a deal-breaker it should have been clear in 2015.
how exactly does trump seem more reckless now than he did before. since he was first taken seriously as a candidate people have voiced concern with his lack of “presidential character” ruffling geopolitical feathers. his pre-election speeches were just as rambling and untactful as anything that he’s said more recently. that was part of the package that you were voting for, for better or worse. if you thought this was a deal-breaker it should have been clear in 2015.
we've learned nothing new about him from any of this. it's one thing to say that these things are all deal-breakers (i don’t think they are, but that’s up to you) but it’s another to suddenly come to this realization two years after it should have been clear to you, and in the heat of a particularly tense and knee-jerk-inducing moment which will pass in a week’s time.
if nothing else, it would be best to wait at least a few days before committing to something like this. but more importantly you should revisit your thought process in choosing to voting for him.

The Dems do more than "play footsie" with dangerous groups such as antifa/BLM/and literal Communists. They embrace them.
So go on with histrionics all you want about the largely nonexistent white supremacist thread (compare a body count of white supremacists vs. BLM and killing cops), but Trump will be opposing that lot.
He condemned both sides, which was correct and appropriate.

Exactly. The double standards are too much.
I want Trump to double down today. He did the correct and appropriate thing.
Until Dems start taking responsibility for their fringe, such as the big progressive who tried to kill those GOP Congressmen, resist any attempts to link everyone to this one driver.

There's a difference between defending their message and defending their right to peacefully assemble in order to express that message.
Like the media, our poasters seem to miss that it wasn't the alt-righters who initiated the violence. Similiarly, it wasn't the alt-righters who opened the Pandora's box of radical identity politics. The events in Charlottesville, like the alt-right itself, are reactionary to what was initiated by the left.
If you are going to hold an entire group and person (Trump) responsible for what happened in Charlottesville, then I assume you do the same for what happened in Dallas and on that baseball field in Alexandria?

Amen. I've been screaming about this for a while now. It's not ironic or edgy humor. It's bitter anger from a contingent that seeks to dehumanize certain groups. And contrary to what some of the posters above have said, the white identity politics you speak of isn't merely a reaction to BLM or far-left groups. It's been around since Reconstruction.

"And contrary to what some of the posters above have said, the white identity politics you speak of isn't merely a reaction to BLM or far-left groups"
If true, then why has it seen a major resurgence only since the Dems went all in on identity politics?
Are you saying they all these "racists" have just been lingering since the 1950s/1960s waiting for their moment? Or can you at least be honest enough with yourself that the constant harping of identity politics by the Left over the past 10 years may have triggered it?
