When you have 50 REPUBLICAN law agents warn you during his run how dangerous his rhetoric is, and even after getting elected continues to vilify the press, and vilify his own intel and ignore his own intel, that is no longer a party issue.
He is vilifying a trade I was involved in as an intern in TV and having had a job in radio. He is vilifying my non violent neighbors. Now, instead of falsely accusing me of making up slights that are not slights but the very demonizing Trump is doing and expecting me not to respond to it, maybe you should stop staring at my finger when I am pointing at the moon.
Yes I do take that personally. No, I will not apologize.
I'm not asking you to apologize. In fact, if you appear to be unhinged, I think that plays right into Trump and the Republicans hands. You have freedom of speech, use it. I think that you should wisely, but who am I to say? I would have thought that your experience in journalism would have taught you to stick to the facts, and build a coherent case, but I'm apparently just being naive.
No I am not unhinged. I am perfectly sane.
If you want to continue to ignore or excuse the behavior of Trump and then stupidly falsely equate standing up to that bully as being the same as being the bully, sorry, no polite way to put it, you are an idiot.
The only right response to a politician who uses political scapegoating as a tactic is the strongest condemnation in the most blunt terms. Anything less than that is to allow future atrocities to arise.
Trump is not politics as normal. Now if you do not want to take it from me, maybe spend some time talking to our resident Muslim Atlass33 whom lives in a nation that uses political vilification of outsiders to keep power.
You are not the only religion and you are not my first rodeo on politics or religion. You and I are private citizens, not politicians in seats of high power. There is a huge difference. Do not tell me if Obama had REPEATEDLY vilified entire races or religions or his own intel, you'd find that acceptable or normal.
