OTOH, hitler also said shitty things about those same people..it's almost like he was an inconsistent liar, like trump..in that same regard.
Quote:Trump, who stated he wants to deport some criminal illegal immigrants, is a threat to do what to who?Trumps immigration policies are a threat to anyone who's brown - criminal or not. Illegal or not. Alien or not. They;re a threat to anyone else while were at it..when there are no more brown people to come for. Who will we blame for our woes then...what will we do to them?
Quote:Follow through on your conclusion. No reason to make people guess.You wouldn't need to guess - I'm a pretty wordy guy. The only reason that you're "guessing" is to fish for straw fodder.
See, THAT's a conclusion. Nobody is safe. You got a little inspecific again with "Trumps immigration policies" instead of what I asked, because I suspect there are his actual immigration policies, and then what I imagine you are able to read between the lines to be his real immigration policies. But 'Nobdoy is safe'. Is a solid conclusion. No ambiguity there.
A teensy bit light on supportive argument, but I like it none-the-less.

Imagine some asshole wants to break up your marriage. That's a dick thing to do, and you are justifiable pissed. But then the asshole shows you a video he took of your wife getting plowed in the ass by her yoga instructor.
Then your wife gets home and says "Forget the video of me getting plowed in the ass by the yoga instructor, we should be outraged he's trying to break up our marriage!"
The primary Russian meddling, in this case, was exposing that the DNC was actively rigging the primary for Hillary.
Russia's still an asshole, but I'm glad it's out there that the DNC was subverting our electoral process.
Your analogy is incomplete. It's as if the asshole is only releasing evidence from one side, because he's trying to steer your thinking.
And in this case, it has obviously worked.

He's trying to steer your thinking, which is bad. But what would you prefer? To not know your wife is getting fucked in the ass by her yoga teacher?
Manipulated by a stranger vs. Ignorance on an important issue.
For me, it's an "It depends" situation. To me, the DNC undermining the electoral process is serious enough that I want to know. If it was the RNC who got exposed, and it'd mean Hillary became president, my answer would be the same.
