"First Reg, I voted for Trump and for the very same reason that everybody else in the shithole you call the rustbelt (that is offensive to us btw) did that whipped crooked Hillary's ass."

Yes, I know why people voted for him at the time and that it took more than the racists and White Nationalists to elect him. And I blame the Democrats too, Marc, for pushing all their chips in with Clinton...easily at the time of the election the most divisive politician in our country in the last 50 years. Giant mistake. But it was also a giant mistake to vote for Trump and while Moore is right, Trump said that to Ford, said lots of things and made lots of promises...he was lying his ass off. Trump cares nothing for the Rust Belt people that voted for him, cares nothing about helping them, and will do nothing to help them. He proceeded straight to helping the billionaire class and that's who he always intended to help.

"I still pop in here from time to time just to get a laugh at the DB still (after only 1 year of presidency!) RAGING, and I mean like petulant children, about identity politics and OMG! the world is gonna end! No it won't."

I'm glad you can laugh. I don't find it funny that we have a president...and I don't recall one that has done this...that at every opportunity tries to stir racial hatred and promotes violence toward a specific religion and people of color. I mean the only guy we can go to for that sort of behavior that people know right off is Hitler. Hitler used the Jews, Trump uses Muslims and Mexicans. Trump posts hate videos (that were false by the way) on his Twitter account spread by a British hate group that is on the level of the KKK. Then even though they were false he laughed and refused to take them down. Why? Simple, he is a racist, wants support of racists, and wants to stir hatred and violence toward the people he hates.

He calls countries where people of color come from "shit holes" because he wants to stir hatred and violence against those people. This is his goal. He called people after making the "shit hole" comments looking for congratulations from racist pals...and he got it...for once again proudly waving his racist hate flag. And make no mistake he waves it often. Trump invents stories of what Muslims did, total falsehoods, and promotes them to stir more hate and violence. He talks about not wanting people of color to come here because they "won't go back to their huts."

He paints Haitians and Mexicans with statements like they are all "have AIDS" or are "rapists and criminals" because he wants you to hate them, to treat them like garbage and to stir violence against them. Just like Hitler he wants you to blame them for our problems and for your struggles.

When a person of color commits a crime Trump will immediately come out and condemn them, he will speak of terrorism, he will promote more hate and violence. When a white guy with a gun goes out and shoots a bunch of people or a right wing white nut job kills people or commits violence he says nothing or tells people "Nothing can be done. Go home and pray. It is too soon to talk about this."

Because he never intends to talk about it and certainly not to do anything about it.

He once, with Roger Stone I believe, launched a campaign against Native Americans being allowed to open casinos because in his words they are "violent people" and they bought advertising to paint them as horrible people.

I could go on here but suffice to say, this guy does not like and wants others not to like people of color. That's obvious. Now, you could say as some have, "We did not know we were voting for a racist." but it was known he was a racist before he was elected. You could tell me you don't care that he is a racist as long as he gives tax cuts to the super wealthy and creates big loopholes for big corporations and deregulates everything so the middle class can be totally screwed...as he is doing all that so maybe that matters to you more than racism. I don't know and I don't know what you "value" most.

I always thought we could agree white supremacists/Nazi's are bad...Trump says some of them are really great people. I always thought rapists and child molesters were bad...Trump fully endorses them. I was brought up to believe abusing women was a bad thing...Trump believes we should be doing this at all times. Walk into a girls dressing room to see them changing...he thinks that's great. Grope women? Trump says go for it. Rape them, attack them, do what you want to them...Trump is all in. Grab them by the pussy according to our president.

Are you all in on this stuff, Marc? Are you with Trump and you support racism, stirring hate and violence, abuse of women, child molestation, and rape? All good things or do you find any of this repulsive?

This is not about right and left. This is not about liberal or conservative. This is about what you believe in and value...right and wrong.

Stand with Trump and you are in a vile place. Is that who you are?

"Your candidate ran on race, gender and equality and did a real crappy job btw and lost."

The pillars of the Trump campaign were racism and discrimination, demeaning women, and promoting hate and violence. He has continued to carry those out as president. He also lied as much as he breathed and conned people into thinking he was a grenade they could throw. That worked.

My candidate did none of this. My candidate was not Hillary Clinton either. I did not want Hillary Clinton running for president. NOT AT ALL. So, don't attempt this right and left nonsense and try to paint me as a blind Democrat. You can go back and read things I said here and I was in no way kind to Clinton.

"Let's address your WWIII concerns first. First off, we still(and it will finally become even stronger) have the largest and most advanced military in the world by far. Here in the "rust belt" we are ok and dandy spending our tax dollars on our soldiers (not things like the nefarious and mysterious Clinton Foundation)."

The above comment really makes no sense. You don't, taxpayers don't spend money on the Clinton Foundation. They collect money through donations. The Clinton Foundation costs you nothing unless you donate. What are you talking about here?

Obama set the record in spending on the military in 2011 as his budget was $895 billion and he continued to spend on the military like a drunken sailor. His defense budget in 2013, $851 billion. He averaged over $800 billion a year during his time in office. So, you people in the "rust belt" should have loved Obama for his military spending. Trump's defense budget was almost $700 billion. So, he is spending less on the military than Obama. Billions less. My guess here is you don't know where your money is going and that's a problem.

You want the guy that spent like crazy on defense...Obama is your guy. You did not know that did you?
