But, I didn't expect you to pop back up but, then since White Supremacy is just around the corner slime like you is oozing up.<br /><br />But, please don't confuse me with David Clarke who called for violent revolution via "Pitchforks & Torches" if Trump lost. <br /><br />Also, since you claimed to be a Cpl in the USMC (although we both know a Cuck like you didn't serve a day except in the Keyboard Commandoes) I expect you to resign up and go fight ISIS in Syria and then in Iran when Tom Cotton and John McCain pull out of the Agreement.<br /><br />Don't worry I'll ignore you then in the way all your ilk ignore Americans killed in the Middle East except for 4 killed in Benghazi.Grung_e_Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894879088472559055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-28977541699975008112016-11-17T03:12:03.780-06:002016-11-17T03:12:03.780-06:00It's hilarious how the right has always been r...It's hilarious how the right has always been respectful and peaceful refuses to fall into your trap. It's the left who is violent and protesting. That very small minority of special snowflakes who refuse to accept what is as what is. Things are going to get better now, despite the wishes of a small minority of leftists who want to see them get worse.ChickenHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228053200668293249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-41839534776867059052016-11-16T14:36:25.956-06:002016-11-16T14:36:25.956-06:00What concerns me is that while there are general a...What concerns me is that while there are general anti-Trump protests on the one hand (which I sympathize with even though I believe they will not go anywhere) coupled with right-wingers openly salivating at the prospect of turning the police against the hippies (again), the real soul of the administration is being fought over in New York.<br /><br />With the exception of the electoral college, which is no longer functional (and maybe never was anyways), all of the hard constitutional checks and balances against authoritarianism have now fallen away except for the Supreme Court and Trump has already announced his intentions there. The only remaining one is the soft one: the idea that the party elites can control him. (Just like they said they could control Hitler.)<br /><br />I'm still not entirely sure how or why, but it seems like the alt right is winning that battle. On Monday the Republican foreign policy establishment officially decamped and headed for the hills. If the neoliberal wing doesn't do the same thing, it will only be because there has been some sort of grand bargain where they will continue to get the economic policies they want in exchange for letting the alt right run wild on racial and social issues.<br /><br />Given his obvious class interests as an elite, I expected that Trump would help tilt the scales to the neoliberal faction at some point. Obviously I misjudged his competence. (I won't say this is what he intended all along, because it plainly isn't -- there would have been no need for the palace coup on his transition team if he was steering things all along.)Davidhttp://jobsfolly.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-45280394325020066492016-11-16T08:49:03.094-06:002016-11-16T08:49:03.094-06:00The don't hide it on secret Facebook pages any...The don't hide it on secret Facebook pages anymore. The rage is swelling in them. Many conservatives now believe they have tacit approval to hurt leftists, immigrants, or minorities.
