Isn’t this political rhetoric really dangerous?

Xper 7

They’re saying that every single Trump voter (80 million Americans) are Nazis and racist, or support these things. They’re also stating prior to this that every Trump voter is responsible for what happened.

Lumping masses of people with the worst aspects of the other side doesn’t seem like a way to unite Americans. This seems really explosive and misleading. All the people who I know voted for Trump are normal middle class families. This is by no means an accurate representation of Republican families.

The next time people see a MAGA hat, they’re going to want to attack them based on this false rhetoric.

Left or right, doesn’t this seem wildly divisive? I feel like this is why America is so divided. Media segments like this.

Yes the left is the one pushing the Civil War because they realise their ideas don't work unless they force everyone into them at gunpoint so they have a Civil War to take over the federal government to make their dream of socialism real.

America was founded with a system built to stop this by allowing everyone to have freedom and choice with a state system.

If you want to pay very high taxes to have a lot of social programs for poor people go for it you have States like California super majority Democrat but for some reason won't pass universal base care anything. If you want to live in a state like that your free to do so then I am free to live Somewhere else it doesn't have those laws in another state like Texas. Both can literally have what we want but the problem lies in the liberal beliefs with high taxes if you give people a choice to move not pay the high taxes a lot of people who pay the bills are going to move making it so your ideas are unfundable that is why they want to start a Civil War to take over the federal government.

  It's far too late The divide is far too deep. These people fighting for free stuff literally believe the people there fighting against or evil nazis or white supremacy is who refused to take care of them because of white supremacy.
  
  When the truth is we just want everyone to be self reliant and take care of themselves.

Of course but they don't care. I mean why would they, trump supporters being executed in the streets (which has already happened (every violent "clash" was by the left for the past 12 years which was directed at conservatives and eventually trump supporters) is news an they make money off of it while also aiding their ideological party. At no point in time have they ever been held accountable for their actions so their is never a down side for them, they get more money more power and every one else suffers the consequences for their lying and their hateful (and inaccurate) rhetoric.

So is it dangerous? Well its already resulted in what, nearly 100 people dying, tens of millions in property damage, destroyed lives, sever injury and trauma to others, and a society that is now on the brink of potential civil war, so yeah, its dangerous. The real question is will they ever be punished for being the pieces of shit they are? The answer is no.

They think its okay to loot, riot cities and harm "trump supporters", when "trump supporters" are anti big government and more constitutionalists. Its the left that wants to divide people. You can state an opinion and they'll cry and scream saying your racist or sexist or whatever. That is very very dangerous. Media is no longer non biased. We're dealing with a very pro-socialism, pro- government rule all agenda.

  Thats how they unfortunately they try to get you. The left has used identity politics to guilt others to force them into their agenda. I'm actually conservative but a little left leaning on some issues. What I can't get behind is their "don't hurt my feelings" preaching for everything. If you don't agree with them you're the devil. Thats why people have disassociated with friends and family the last four years. Its honestly better to if it becomes toxic.

  Just gotta say thank you for your service. I agree with you about watching this country just turn upside down and try to remove what makes this country great. Is it a perfect country? Absolutely not, but we have a lot of amazing freedoms many third world countries risk their lives to have. I've always believed everything is cyclical. Especially because we are a young country, we are going through many growing pains. But I believe if you've seen our history, I think we've overcome many many obstacles. We'll overcome this one too. Many millions of other feel the way you and I do now. We're not alone and we're not oblivious to what they're trying to do. But we'll survive and we'll get through it. Just as we've done for hundreds of years. And yes, California is really the worst place to be as a conservativeor semi conservative. I would consider moving to Texas or Florida. I'm in Arizona and although we've gotten a mass exodus of Californians here, our rural counties are conservative. We don't have strict rules. Most of restaurants here are open, just outdoor.

Sorry buddy, but you need to go back and listen to it again. What Don Lemon said is if you voted for Trump, you voted for the person that the Nazi's support, that the Klan supports, that people who view certain Americans as "less than other Americans" support. And that's 100% true. Nothing misleading about that statement.

What you're "trying" to say is that he's calling everyone who VOTED for Trump the same AS those Klan members, or Nazi's, or superior thinking people. He didn't say that, but he said you should remove yourself from the crowd. Chris Cuomo was making the point "what if you just like Trump's policies, but not his other rhetoric". That's a tough position to be in.

  But that isn't true so why say it? Also that is moronically stupid, who cares what some one else supports? Black Israelites who call for the killing of whites and gays supported Obama, don't hear anyone claiming that Obama supported that? Also Trump denounced all white supremacists and racist more times then any single human being has ever done, so much so he was even caught on video in the 80s denouncing it. So again, what your arguing is that its okay to slander people and incite violence but only so long as its against the guy you don't like. eventually this thinking is going to back fire on you then whats going to happen? Well you'll bitch and whine about the "hateful and violent" conservatives (whom you have been bashing and inciting violence against for decades). Also FYI republicans have been anti racist from the very begining as literally every racist thing in this country was created by democrats. So democrast created and maintained slavery, caused the civil war, created segregation, created every single jim crow law in the country bar none, opposed all the civil rights acts that have been passed since the 1865 to the 1993 civil rights act (the only exception being the 1991 civil rights act that made it more difficult to sue due to discrimination, that was the only one that passed with democrat majority), democrats did the longest filibuster in history to stop th3e 1964 civil rights act (robert byrd who was friends with biden and the clintons and was also a recruiter for the KKK), democrats created the KKK (twice) in order to terrorize and murder black AND WHITE republicans, as well as creating antifa which has violently attacked and terrorized conservatives today. You support that party so clearly you support slavery, the KKK, and all the racism that has been created by the democrats.

  @hellionthesagereborn Your rant is so full of inaccuracies it's not worth debating. What ridiculous nonsense to say "Democrats created slavery". Good Lord.
  
  However, I have seen the video compilation of Trump disavowing and rebuking racism, the KKK, hate groups, etc, etc. I heard him say the words, and I acknowledge he said them. But he's also said a lot of other things. Look that up for yourself. Do I believe he truly denounces those things SIMPLY BECAUSE he said it? No, he's a con man. It's the "right thing to say" and he knows that. But I believe him about as much as I believe Putin when he said there are "free and uninfluenced elections in Russian", which he says after every election when his opponents end up in jail. If you want to pick a fight with people calling Trump racist, find someone else. That point is the LEAST of my issues with how vile Trump has been, and still is.

  @hellionthesagereborn I saw where you got your information that "no Republican has ever owned a slave". Not only is that false, it's completely irrelevant. And even though the party was created to stop the spread of slavery, and attracted abolitionists, what relevance is that to now? Do you think NO Republican today is racist because of how the Republican Party got its start? How is it relevant to Trump, who was many times a Democrat and jumped back and worth? Your party affiliation has NOTHING to do with individual racism. Geez.
  
  As for your misinformation:
  There were GOP slave owners. Benjamin Burton, Whig Party member turned Republican, owned 28 slaves making him Delaware's largest slave owner.
  No party “created” the KKK; both parties had ties to it. READ that. Both parties. And today, NO "party" supports the KKK, so again, your reference to history is completely irrelevant.
  The Civil Rights Act passed with more Dem votes than GOP votes.
  The Supreme Court ruling sanctioning segregation was written by a Republican.
  
  By YOUR logic, our country's deficit is the complete FAULT of the Republicans, since Cheney/Bush inherited a surplus and turned it into a profit center for Halliburton, plunging the nation into national debt.

When it comes to the Civil War, if it gives you a hard on to assign slavery to the Dems, have at it.
  
  What's truly important is how the "South" viewed slavery, and the black man. Go READ the succession statements from the southern states, starting with Mississippi. Whatever "party" they belonged to at that time has no relevance to any party of the same name now.

  Yeah, not true, no republican ever owned a slave, this is a fact. Give me a source for that name, I can't seem to find anyone by that name who would have been alive at the time of the republican party (which was founded in 1854). Also the relevence is that they started as being anti racist and they still are to this day (funny how you guys like to act like the past matters up until people point out that your political party is responsible for literally every bad thing that has ever happened in the US and then suddenly the past doesn't matter, or their was a switch that happened even though you can't prove it, don't know who did, don't know when it happened, don't know why it happened, and its provably false (statistically less then 1% of politicians switched parties between 1865 to 2017).
  
  The founding members of the KKK were all democrats, it did not have ties to both parties, they actively targeted republicans.

Even if the first meetings of the KKK were all Democrats at the time, it is irrelevant because they immediately have separated themselves, because they are INSANE fringe members. Your position that Democrats, and every person who was one, is responsible for every evil in the USA, is laughable at best. Any historian would rip your ass to shreds.
  
  The fact that you put all persons of what YOU think is a singular ideology in one bucket, again on proves how ignorant you choose to be. Things like "you're all the same" and how leftists (whatever the hell you define them as) are rarely right, do nothing but reinforce bias and ignorance.

If they aren't racist they are fucking morons for supporting Trump. I guess its kind of like saying you don't support child slavery yet everything you own is made by child labor. You are just a fucking idiot who doesn't know what is what. If you are not a fucking idiot who doesn't know what is what you wouldn't support Trump. If you are a fucking idiot who doesn't know what is what, you are capable of believing yourself when you say "I support Trump but I don't support racism," those words don't actually make sense, but to a fucking idiot who doesn't know what is what, it could make sense.

"I support Hitler, but I don't support Nazis or racists" ... See how fucking retarded that sounds? I am not saying Trump is like Hitler, I am saying the line of reasoning in his support is the same. But again, to a fucking idiot who doesn't know anything, that might not make sense.

I think when someone has nothing intelligent to say they point out swearing, discount what was actually said and change the conversation to some "holier than thou" bullshit.
  
  There's two options, either (a) The people who voted for Trump are in fact racist, closeted or not, or (b) They do not understand the implications of supporting Trump. There is no alternative. I gave you an example. You think 100% of the nazi movement thought the exact same? No, a lot didn't understand what was going to happen. And if you think they all thought the exact same you are no better than what you are accusing the two men of your video of. Do you think all nazis are wrong though? I'd hope so. And I think all Trump supporters are wrong, maybe for different reasons, but wrong nonetheless. Unless they were like me and supported Trump in order to see America destroy itself (success!)

  You’re going to say that that everyone who voted for Trump is either a racist or moron, and then you wonder why I come at you the way I do? It’s not so much personal offense as it is calling attention to where it’s needed.
  
  I don’t see enough evidence to support this narrative. I don’t think that there’s evidence to support that Trump is a white supremacist. There’s really none. The evidence presented by the Democratic Party is very far stretched and doesn’t seem rationally add up. There a great advantage on the democratic front to peruse this race agenda. It becomes a choices of good and evil rather than a choice of this or that.
  
  I also try and stray away from absolute statements such as it’s either X or Y. I work in the engineering field, and can tell you that there are so many variable s in which you can analyze a topic or issue. Absolutes limit the mind. I try to keep my mind elastic so I can gain clarity on topics as a whole from every perspective. I got an entire section of books dedicated towards democratic presidents and leaders. I even have white fragility by robin diangelo which was almost comical lol. I still read it though. Have you bothered to look at the other side?
  
  I can articulate in great detail as to why I think Trump was a superior choice in comparison to Hilary, and it has nothing to do with these social talking points perpetuated by the media and politicians.

  You can claim that I’m trying to come across as holier than thou, but this is simply how I talk. It’s not fuck you, or fuck this, or you’re a dumbass, or holier than thou. It’s not one or the other. There’s a middle ground , and if you can’t refrain from personal insult when discussing issues, then you don’t have a lot of emotional maturity. Is it too much to ask for to have an adult conversation without the pettiness?
  
  The bigotry is really astonishing to me. These open discussions need to happen.

You're telling me I'm the problem, but your answer here clearly illustrates the level of bigotry and emotional contempt that you hold towards the opposing side. I'm not the enemy. I just have a different way of looking at issues. We can agree to disagree. Just stop it with the insults, because this is what causes the divisiveness. You will never influence others into your way of thinking by insulting them.

  Ask yourself this... why would I ever want to listen to you if you're attempting to make me feel lesser? That's just negative energy. If you managed to make people feel important, listen to their ideas, and then explain why you think this is the correct way- don't you think you'd receive more positive feedback. Maybe, just maybe we wouldn't have so many arguments, fights, and violence in this country if everyone acted with this type of emotional maturity. We should value each other based on our individuality and character rather than brushing a human being off entirely because of their mere political affiliation. Humans are surely much more multi-faceted than their political affiliation.
  
  Maybe then we could all learn from each other and understand one another with more clarity.

  It's in my personal belief that American democrats and republicans actually have a lot more in common than they might think. But this kind of divisiveness rhetoric like the video below disables the ability for others to discover that. I mean, you probably actually think that I'm racist, and have a double-digit IQ. Far from, but again' you'll never know unless you can drop that perception that's being pushed onto you. I think we as Americans need to formulate together and turn against media like this.

  Irony, you do not get it. You claim the right is creating division, then proceed to sow as much division as you can. Also why is OBama superior? Do you like bombing and murdering innocent people because Obama was real good at that and Trump hasn't gotten us into any wars unlike Obama. What policies were so great from Obama and what policies of Trump are so bad? Can you name them? Can you name one? I'm guessing not.

Keep compromising with the people who want to destroy you and see what fucking happens.

Let's have a compromise between food and poison.

CNN promotes racial division and hatred. I hope that these two are killed in any civil war that they help to bring about. No one would deserve it more than them.

Another thing. People like them were saying the same thing about George Bush supporters. They vilify all conservatives

You support the nazi party don't get mad when stuff like that happens

You let that man be the face of the republican party

At least Mitt Romney and John McCain tried to salvage right-wing traditional values.

The rest of y'all had hate anger or just cared about your pockets more than others. Or turned a Blind eye to injustice

  That’s not a rational assumption at all. How in the world is the right the nazi party if we want limited government and a lot less government? To classify the entire political party as a whole to nazis is by no means a rational claim. You’ve been brainwashed

  Care about bigger pockets? The libertarians and right have created blockchain technology to give the little guy a shot so that big banks don’t rip us off anymore. I’m working on a protocol right now. I personally see that right winged conservative fiscal policy works much better for everyone. But I guess I’m a Nazi. Absolutely absurd claims

Saying racist and nazi is their “Easy Button” to avoid that fact that tens of millions are vehemently in disagreement wither precious point of view. They drive the wedge deeper until the final reaction, war.

Lets just say if they identified with the right, then it would be called hate speech or incitement to violence.

I’d say 80 million Americans de-prioritize racism, which is tacit approval.

  America is one of the least racist countries in the world. Black people are getting fed up with this movement as well.

Anything said by CNN is dangerous. They are propaganda organization for the left to instill discord, shape narratives of the left political enemy and spread disinformation.
