I get it Chico. Racists, extremists, alt-right, extreme-left (or whatever you wanna call them) are a small percentage of a population, or religion. They are often the loudest, yet they are far outnumbered by actual normal people trying to live their lives. The thing that kills me is you and Bob are getting personally offended by the implication those white-supremacists are pro-Republican. I give you videos of neo-Nazi's chanting Jews will not replace us, and Trump saying they are fine people, and yet you don't want to make the connection. You're helpless.

Yes people are generally offended when you call them racist or somehow imply conservatives give safe cover to that thinking or ideology. That’s exactly what started this convo. I’m offended when trump said the rapists comment about the illegals...that was terrible. He should have specified the facts, something like 75% of the women traveling illegally across the border are sexually assault/ raped in route by people guiding them or traveling with...sick fucking people, huh?
I suggest watching the vid, Ben lays it out fairly well. And no trump never said neo nazis chanting replace us or whatever vile thing...were fine people. The entire verbatim transcript of the trump interview from that day which gives u that sound bite is over at politafact I believe. He disavowed the alt right numerous times there...and criticizing the violent radicals on both sides.
And again, when the Democrats in the previous administration implemented same policies to stop illegal immigration and chose to safeguard the country with a travel ban....no one said a thing.
