William Rivers Pitt: Coward-in-Chief: Trump Wilts in the Face of Fascist Terrorism

[Ninsianna]

194. Nope. Those poor people have enough confusing them, since they're not

white, not Christian and the very people Trump and his Nazis hate. But they're mostly in red states and their few votes didn't make a difference, nor did they infect anyone else.

I don't hate them, I just know how mind fucked they are from living in Texas and all that fox news that has crept into their heads. I haven't won them over, but they've figured out not to tangle with me debating policies. I've actually shut them up and convinced them on a couple of issues. I just can't pierce the raging Hillary hate that decades of Fox and nightly Hannity and O'Reilly have wrought.

I've lost respect for the hardcore deplorables on my FB page, one of whom was a history teacher in a private school full of the people Trump hates. I can only imagine what this man was thinking with all those brown kids and muslims he had to teach, though his classes were not honors so I don't know how many of them were in his classes.

These people who seem capable of change, how do you think they'd respond to you versus me? Would you be risking your life on sight with these people? I would. I cannot hide who and what I am. I have friends who have been infiltrating these Trump gatherings to just just what flavor and intensity of crazy they're cooking up. If you feel like reaching out, then do so, just stop expecting it from the rest of us. We're not privileged enough to survive that. It sounds like we need to win over all the idiots who believed the propaganda they were fed. They were lied to and the damage was done, we need to deal with them. Let the on-the-fence nazis and white supremacists and other deplorables seek absolution on their own. Coalition building is not about coddling Nazis or fascists, it's about seeking common ground with people who have the same goals we do. Those people do not share goals with me. They want me dead, they want me dehumanized and they think I'm an animal or a heathen. They're fine with robbing me of my culture and history and religion, but I am not a human being to them.

The purity forces were the ones who keep saying that we need to forget the basic tenets of our party to chase after angry white men.

Human rights is a purity test I can deal with, but when those humans are women, a great many here become all wobbly.
