We've always had divisive rhetoric in campaigns, and supporters have always gotten very passionate and even angry. But we have never seen anything like this, ever.
It's why I brought it up. I think Trump's brand of divisiveness is unique, and worse. He thrives on pitting groups against one another. Even w/ the judge from Indiana who has Mexican heritage - if you have any association with a certain group, you're "them." You're different.
Don't try to compare it to what Hillary says, or what the average political candidate says. There IS a reason that this violence & disruption is following the Trump campaign, and no one else's, nor anyone who we've seen in decades. This is absolutely not a coincidence. And it's okay to talk about that.
what Clinton does is exclude by partial inclusion..her campaign is to women, blacks, LGBT and reliable democratic interest groups.
It's excluding on principle whites, men, nationalists ( as opposed to globalists)..it's done for deliberate political gain too.
Is Trump more crude in his language? yes.
But does Trump feel passionately that we are loosing our way internationally and becoming patsies?
Trump believes that the Mexican government is a threat to US sovereignty..and I think they are too.
They let too many central americans pass thru, while having a tight southern border for their immigration
Trumps problem is he cannot speak softly and carry a big stick, he has to whack everybody he disagrees with.
He blames "Mexican rapists" instead of using "Mexican gov't who allow criminals to cross over" ( my words)
So what?
So you beea him at the ballot box, and punish his aggressive speech there .
This is not the thread to debate the candidates style.
I am telling you no matter what the language unless it's truly incendiary to riot it's to be tolerated.
and looking for reasons to justify/explain reasons people become violent is the same as excusing them
