No I was not arguing that and anyone with brains can see it. You really need to stop the straw man stuff if you want to be taken seriously. You've done so much damage to your user name along those lines, though, that I would recommend changing it if you happen to have an overnight conversion and decide to stop.

Interesting to learn that the entire GOP is anti-semitic. That Sheldon Adelson is a good actor! Geez all those Republicans in AIPAC, anti-semitic, too? Who knew? Hey, wonder if the Kushner family had Ivanka convert when she married Jared because they are all really part of a plot to sell Israel and all its Jews to Saudi Arabia?

Puhleez on the simplistic partisan rants! How about thinking before you spew out the anger? You are just as bad as those you criticize. But that's what tribalism does, I guess. Just sad that you can't see how counterproductive you really are to your own stated goals.

In reply to Extermination was the Primary Point

Intel is withdrawing support for white supremacist Iowa Congressman Steve King. We have to call our fellow citizens to task. They support white supremacist candidates who set the tone for violence.

A coworker noted that Conservatives in the building were vocal about their outrage that Kavanaugh was challenged, but have nothing to say about the pipe bombs or synagogue attack. Speaks volumes.

In reply to Joe Scarborough and a couple

We had violent attacks in the past. To lump them all as tribalism is ridiculous. Law enforcement has a term Lone Wolf for some violent acts. There are no tribes calling for violence except for the tribalists in the GOP. We ignore this at our peril. In the past, Presidents responded to violent attacks with a healing message. Trump is willing to keep separating the nation. Obama, Clinton, and the Bushes offered words intended to heal. Hopefully Democrats get the House next week.

Edit to add:

Thanks for the link. These are not normal times. We have to stay informed.

Joe Scarborough and a couple former Republican Party mainstays 7 minute MSNBC video at Driftglass, in it they say "liberals are right about the racist Republican base" and "Trump's racist rhetoric isn't dog whistles, it's "air raid sirens", and a huge threat to this nation.

In reply to “President Trump, you are not

NCD, this is obvious. There is no one in the Democratic leadership spewing vile rhetoric like Trump. People understand this. Tribalism is part and parcel of the GOP. Trump is not ashamed to call himself a Nationalist. People hear the dog whistle. I don’t know why someone would try to ignore this fact.

“President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you fully denounce white nationalism.”

“President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you stop targeting and endangering all minorities.”

“President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you cease your assault on immigrants and refugees.”

“President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you commit yourself to compassionate, democratic policies that recognize the dignity of all of us.”

former President of the Tree of Life synagogue.

It's pretty obvious Trump's only objective in elections is increasing his charismatic leadership cult hold on the the core of the Republican Base that is a tribe of ignorant, gullible and resentful white haters, bigots, and hypocrites, whose sole trusted authority is Donald Trump, and who are thoroughly indoctrinated by right wing agitprop and Fox news.

In reply to AA, you are actually arguing

Fukuyama was on CSPAN yesterday from the Texas Book Fair in Austin. Even he is hoping Democrats take the House in 2018 and have a viable candidate for President in 2020, because he understands the threat the Republicans represent.

Edit to add What tribe was the Dallas shooter representing?
