Yes, and that's why the left keeps making comparisons to Hitler. It's insulting to the memory of the murdered and the nightmares of the survivors. And all it is is a Democratic campaign strategy - to scare the crap out of minorities so they'll go to the polls. Turnout is key to a Democratic win, and fear is a great motivator. And it's basically all they have.

So yes, OP...I agree with fear and anger, but it's the fear being generated from the left. And as far as anger, have you read this forum? The hateful accusations against anyone who dared not vote for Hillary is on a level I've never seen before (and I'm 60).

I agree. I think OP, and some others here, are projecting.

Yes, it's undeniable. Think about the origins of the word.

Or consult the dictionary:

conserve -- to seek to protect something from harm or destruction.

NP. Is this a Hillary reference without saying “Hillary”?

I trust you’re equally if not more concerned with the misapplication and inequitable application of Justice in communities of color?

The politics of division put trump in the White House. Maybe time to start focusing on what we have in common?

Yup.

Yeah, real afraid. We’d like to see laws upheld and constitutional rights protected. Libs don’t have a very good record on either.

OP - You may want to go through life with the attitude that others have positive intentions. It will serve you well.

What a beautiful moderating force. Your beneficence is no doubt equal time, and you must have finger cramps from gently chiding R’s who use “libtard” freely. Thank you, sir or ma’am. Yours is the shining path.

Your path is The Shining.

Loyal!! Not floral.

I love that autocorrect as I look at my floral arrangement! I can see it now! People running out of their houses with long stem red roses throwing them at people! Power to the Petal People!

Aww, conservative got served and took a minute to think of a comeback. What happened to all that high-minded munificence? Poor dear.

Boy, you liberals are really focused aren't you

It's a reference to the inner corruption within the upper echelon of the FBI. I do know there is a lot going on under the hood and it's important to get a case that sticks. Which his why McCabe's firing is now 'old news' to liberals; when the truth came out in that IG report, they abandoned their talking points.

I am very concerned about American citizens of all colors being swept under the carpet in favor of non-citizens. The government has no income of its own - it is fueled by tax dollars, which are finite. When you take from one group of people in favor of another, well, you can see how that can be a problem for the first group.

That is not correct. The federal government does have income aside from tax dollars. Taxes are the largest source but far from the only source.

This. It is as simple as this.

But it’s not that simple, of course.

Let’s assume Open Borders is the predominant issue for Trump voters. What fuels that, specifically?


Economics ie people taking jobs? liberals creating a slave labor class of illegals

Culture ie feeling like the White Man is becoming a minority? liberals not really caring about vetting immigrants, illegal or otherwise

Safety ie fear of crime secondary to immigration? If you don't vet those who come in, you can increase the criminal element in your country

Safety ie fear of terrorism secondary to immigration? See above

“Law & Order” ie illegal immigrants are breaking the law? Unequal application of the law when illegals break it is more the concern


———-> Fear and Anger fuel most of the above, as OP said.

See bolded. In addition, fear and anger are emotions, and I'm not surprised liberals focus and stop there, rather than getting down to the practical realities. It's simply lazy and easy to protest, boycott, etc., then it is to really parse through the problems and find real solutions.

Your memory must be failing you.

DP, but seriously? Nothing of substance to add to the PP’s very well-articulated argument? S/he is absolutely right. Fear mongering is the left’s stock and trade. The constant outrage and hyperbole? It’s all designed to whip the base (liberals) into a frenzy of fear and manipulate minorities into feeling some unnamed fear - all in the hopes of getting poor people out to the polls to vote for the Democrats. And if you dare have a mind of your own and vote for a Republican? According to these morons, you’re Hitler incarnate. It sounds like something out of a Mel Brooks satire... until you realize this is actually happening.

Anger and resentment. "I worked hard, nobody gave me a hand out, how long are we supposed to wait for African Americans to fix their communities. We are tired of being blamed and demonized. People complain about us because we are "rich" but we worked hard! We built a business, we create jobs for people. And if I do *one* thing wrong in running my business I am going to jail! Hillary keeps a server in her basement and gets off, but if I fill out one employment form wrong I will go to jail!" This is what I hear a lot.
