Hello Southern Chicken,
A lot more people are not. And if they were ever motivated to vote in the similar proportions of their actual numbers to the proportions of big money Republicans in their own groups, the country would be almost 100% true blue American.
I suspect the thing that bothers you most is the fear that this might actually happen in 2020.
Here's one for ya.
AOC will be old enough to become President in the 2024 election.
Just consider THAT possibility for a moment!

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), now known as the Ringo Starr of the so-called "Squad," is, like the other members of her far-left girl group, a raging bigot. While they go into spasms of outrage over President Trump's stupid tweet, we must bear in mind that, when it comes to denouncing bigotry, none of these four have a leg to stand on — especially Pressley, who now proudly owns one of the most absurdly bigoted statements we've heard from an American politician in decades.
Speaking at a progressive political convention a few days ago, Pressley launched into a diatribe that would surely end her career if she belonged to a different political party or political movement. To the sound of exuberant applause, the new Ringo declared: “We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice.”
Are you as offended by this?

They have been saying negative things about this country. It should be no surprise when someone responds.
"Trump doesn't like it when he is beaten at his own game by somebody who does it with way more class and conviction."
Neither one of us are mind readers to make such a statement. I will chalk this up to being your opinion.

Hello Darth,
The House is completely within it's rights to take up a vote to condemn United States Congresswoman Omar. But it never happened. Because she never said anything antisemitic. She did rightly point out that the antisemitic card is played a bit too loosely in some cases, and is getting so worn at the edges it can be seen coming...

AOC agrees with you.

"New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sharply condemned a poll recently cited by President Trump showing the freshman congresswoman appeals favorably to only 21% of poll participants. "
I guess the media has some work to do

Hello Penderyn,
Ahhh, thanks for the lesson.
Had to look that one up:
"Untermensch (German pronunciation: [ˈʔʊntɐˌmɛnʃ], underman, sub-man, subhuman; plural: Untermenschen) is a term that became infamous when the Nazis used it to describe non-Aryan "inferior people" often referred to as "the masses from the East", that is Jews, Roma, and Slavs – mainly Poles, Serbs, and later also Russians.[1][2] The term was also applied to Blacks, Mulattos and Finn-Asian.[3] Jewish people were to be exterminated[4] in the Holocaust, along with the Polish and Romani people, and the physically and mentally disabled.[5][6] According to the Generalplan Ost, the Slavic population of East-Central Europe was to be reduced in part through mass murder in the Holocaust, with a majority expelled to Asia and used as slave labor in the Reich. These concepts were an important part of the Nazi racial policy.[7] "

Omar:
Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
Twitter feed [4] (Nov 16, 2012)
Omar later regretted making this tweet, describing it as 'unfortunate'.[4]
It's all about the Benjamins baby.
Alleging that American politicians get paid to support Israel, in response to journalist Glenn Greenwald. 10 February 2019
I am told every day that I am anti-American if I am not pro-Israel. I find that to be problematic and I am not alone. I just happen to be willing to speak up on it and open myself to attacks.

I am sure @AOC and every member of Congress who cares about children will sign on. Super proud of @BettyMcCollum04 for her leadership on this issue
12 June 2019 regarding H.R 2407 (introduced 30 April 2019) of the 116th Congress (Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act) previously known as H.R. 4391 (Promoting Human Rights by Ending Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Children Act) as part of the 115th Congress, introduced November 2017. Highlighted 14 June 2019
This traitor and antisemite who hates America, supports Hamas, a terrorist organization that controls the so-called Palestinians.
“Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has been in Congress two months. Despite the brevity of her career, the House is already taking its second vote to condemn her anti-Semitic conduct without actually mentioning her name.
Omar’s hateful and false insinuations about secret and powerful Jewish conspiracies, spread to the wrong quarters, are just the sort that lead to hate crimes and synagogue massacres, a fact to which the congressional resolution clearly alludes.
It is mildly heartening to see the House, despite being controlled by Omar’s party, issue a retort to her vile prejudices, but the retort is painfully weak. And it is not at all encouraging to see that Omar, unlike Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, has faced no consequences for her bigotry, despite causing so much trouble in Congress already.”

Hello Southern Chicken,
Hello. The country is not perfect. The only way to improve is to identify the areas which require improvement, then set about a plan to fix those things.
It needs to be realized that people who love America are also able to see that it is not perfect, and to be able to try to make it better.
Despite what Trump fans believe, America was great before Trump took office. America is a great country. That was often said in the past before Trump. The majority of the nation actually do not believe that President Trump has made America any greater. Many believe that Trump has hurt America. It's all a matter of perspective. WE all have our points of view. Great country, eh?
Trump fans are mostly likely to respond that America is great now that Trump has had his way with things. That's a bit absurd, because his main campaign theme was to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. He has done neither, but Trump despite his failures to do those things, Trump fans still respond that America is great now. Well, duh. It was great before Trump took office!
Not surprised at all. Expected.
To which we are both entitled. And I have a feeling that today, more people are sharing mine than yours.

“In the time since Omar’s forced apologies for her original outbursts, she has both said explicitly and shown through her conduct that she is not at all sorry for her rhetoric and conspiracy theories. As she put it, she only “apologized for the way that my words made people feel,” not for their bigoted content.
The truth is that she is not ashamed of her anti-Semitism. She wears it as a badge of honor. Her antipathy toward Jews, like that of many on the Left, has its roots partly in the Cold War tribalism of those who sided with Russia and Arab nations against America and Israel and partly in the virulent and noxious anti-Semitism that is a stain on so much of the Muslim world.
There should be no partisanship on this issue. People who disagree on politics should agree that the scapegoating of Jews for society’s problems is unacceptable and leads to violence.
Omar's fellow Democrats, especially her party leaders, need to stop rewarding her crocodile tears by posing with her on the cover of Rolling Stone and letting her keep her plum committee assignment on Foreign Affairs. Omar is what she is: an embarrassment to her district and to her party. She is an ideologically hardened Jew hater. Every politician hoping to have a future should feel the need.”
