If you think those rants are 'interesting', you should read some of the political rants that are littered all over a discussion board I post on. It's call MDB - If, of course, you're interested in adding some balance to your reading material. If not, no worries.


Ceeboo -

I've never heard of this board. Where can I find it? : )

Hmm. I wonder how my overall chances of being shot and killed during my daily routine in European cities compare with those of ajax18?

Use the google bar - type "All 62 plus million Trump voters are extreme racists and radical fascists who are completely ignorant assholes - who hate all children who aren't white - and want the world to burn up" - This should take you directly to the site.

Good luck! :)

quick question:
relevance of "high income" to this matter?

eta: what European cities are in S. Korea?

You have serious reading comprehension issues.

You know there's a difference between a voter and a supporter? It's Trump's current supporters who are extreme racists, radical fascists and ignorant assholes. Get it straight.

This was my reaction to canpakes post as well. It does a nice job of clarifying the brands of asshole/ignorance involved. It also shows that there aren't two distinct camps; the is a lot of overlap between the ignorant and the asshole Trump supporters.

Case in point:

“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this. I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”


For too many Trump voters, this is what it’s all about - massaging a bruised ego from perceived slights, and possessing a desire to ‘hurt’ others who they perceive are undeserving or different enough to require ‘hurting’.

I would love to know exactly what the voter meant by that. If I had to guess she doesn't want any more welfare, illegals deported, and the border barrier (I'm not calling a wall) completed.
