Discussion Take away Trump's enemies, and what's left of him?

[interchange]

Those who act out on others their hatred of themselves cross a line that requires response and reaction. That is injustice and can't be allowed.

You think Jesus was wrong to turn the other cheek?

There's more to that statement than just being a pacifist.

Another one of President Trump's campaign promises according to The Washington Post.

"3. "If I become president, we're all going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' again." "

Haha, that one always cracks me up.

It always cracks me up that The Washington Post includes it in campaign promises, but hey, it's the washington post after all.

I'm saying a balanced, responsible and accurate news agency would not include it in a "List of Campaign Promises" Notice it did not make it in the NPR list.

Yes, an obvious joke to the crowd, but by all means include it.

Merry Christmas Cheesewhiz!

Haha, the joke here is you trying to pretend like Trump didn't say that same thing multiple times because it's easy pandering to pearl clutching conservatives.

Happy holidays imported_handgrenadier!

You think Jesus was wrong to turn the other cheek?

The message that Jesus delivered, in my opinion, was that obedience to law doesn’t open the door to heaven. Salvation does not depend on an eye for an eye. Turn the other cheek if one blow is the result, but it took Islam to set a limit on that Absolute compassion but total resistance of injustice does not end. God is righteous and will defend the helpless. Red Beard

Why do you think so many people find him so compelling?

Because he's the candidate the right wing mass media has been priming their voters to want for 20+ years now.

Pandering relentlessly to white fears & culture war bullshit while winning bigly at top down class warfare. Trickle down is what ails America, because it's a lie. It's the Big Lie of everything they've done since Reagan.

Because he's the most astounding con artist our society has ever produced. He messes with people's minds in ways subtle and profound creating an irrational emotional bond.

Oh stop it. The guy is not Svengali (or Hitler). He validated the shit beliefs of roughly 35 to 40 percent of your adult population and they support him for it. He didn't tell them anything that they didn't already believe in some form or other. And if he suddenly stopped, they'd drop him in a second.

I've pointed it out before. This is simply the latest rise of the "Know Nothings". Your country has had these people pretty much since it's beginnings.

It's early but let me wish you a Happy Holiday now in case I forget in December.

When he was running for president he promised his gang repeatedly that it was something that would happen when he was elected. Sounds like a campaign promise to me. Not a big one, but he did say it.
