Keep telling yourself that as white supremacist plot to kidnap politicians, blow up synagogues and kill Jews.

And that's different from the last 100 years, how?

Trump is the solution to that like he's the solution to the left wing riots. He's just waiting for Jan 20 to start saving us.

Who is delusional enough to think that Trump or Biden would be the solution for that?

They feel more embolden with Trump. Words have consequences.
If you support someone who peddles hate that don't coming crying when it is directed at you.

Real question: do you think the white supremacy issue gets better with Biden and Harris in office? How?
@CountValentine I'd like your opinion on this, too.

Yeah, there will be more tolerance and less extremism and it filters all the way down. Hopefully Twitter will shut down Trump's account and we'll have some peace.

I am much more concerned about the words coming from Coumo and his ilk when they very explicitly target Jews than I am about some vague words that only those who are looking to show how horrible he is seem to think have anything do with Wite Supremacy.

Just like Coumo, BLM, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaibb, etc. are all going to suddenly stck their tail between their feet and sudden;y become cute little puppies.

1) I don't support people who peddle hate.
2) Jews in this country are under attack from minorities as much as white supremacists, maybe even more.
3) I don't think Trump is emboldening them. I believe the rhetoric has been ramped up on both the far right and the far left, and we're seeing the results. I don't think it changes with Biden in office. In fact, I think it gets worse. I think the right will react to emboldened extremist rhetoric from the left. I think that unless we have a unifying event, a WWII or a 9/11, we're on a road that destroys us. But I'm just a nutjob with a tinfoil hat.

Covid would've been a unifying event under a good president.

Like it was in every other country?

It is your choice and you are the one living with the consequences.

I have been reading all this anti-Semite stuff about Coumo lately. When did he become this raging anti-Semite targeting Jews or has he always been this way?

[Lurker]

Yeah, there will be more tolerance and less extremism and it filters all the way down. Hopefully Twitter will shut down Trump's account and we'll have some peace.

I think that the Tea Party begat Trump. I also think the far-left movement we've seen over the last 10 years will beget President AOC. There is no less extremism, just different. Kool-Aid of a different flavor. And I definitely don't think there will be more tolerance. Look at your average college campus over the last decade. These will be the influencers and people behind the policy makers. There is no good ending here.

[Lurker]

This isn't an answer. You don't have to answer, but that definitely wasn't one.

Very unifying in many countries, yes

It could be, but Bush, Obama, & Biden are not extremists.

Sure it is an answer. Words mean a lot.
I have seen a ton of interviews where they asked Trump supporters if they would wear masks if Trump asked them to. They all said yes.
Words matter.
The right wing nutcase sites lit up when Trump said "stand by". They even were selling t-shirts with it on. WORDS MATTER!!!

So how is Biden going to lessen white supremacy?

I don't now if he will lessen the problem but he won't be throwing fuel on the fire.
