I wonder if Fox will cover the elections in November at all. Or maybe just more panda sex.

Why?
I never promised to move to CA. But we are looking at moving to Europe - dual citizen.
Excellent. Are you giving up US citizenship?
maybe. But, I'll be taking my few million dollars overseas and probably retire early (in my 50's) over there. Free and/or cheaper healthcare, too. Perhaps if sanity returns to the US, and politicians finally figure out how to reduce healthcare costs like the rest of the world, we might consider retiring here.
If the US continues on its current trajectory, you can expect to work till you are 70 just for healthcare insurance, then get very subpar but expensive medicare thereafter. Have fun!

So what? Did the author do a study on all american citizens not just white people? Its hilarious how lib media makes out white men to be the big bad wolf. Signed, latina.
Well, given that the questions related to how a white person feels becoming the minority group in the future, it probably wouldn't make sense to ask this question to a minority.
It's hilarious how Trumpsters have such low critical thinking skills (actually it's sad and frightening).

I suspect it is the lack of morality in your worldview that makes you fearful of those who live by standards you cannot uphold. I get why you are scared. It doesn’t have to be this way.

OP is correct. Think about it, people.
I thought about the OP's comment on higher standards. And then I saw a vision of Donald Trump cheating on his pregnant wives. I thought about the comment about change. And I realized that conservatism is a philosophy based on fear of change to the social order. I thought about peace, and Jesus came to mind. He said we should take in the stranger and care for the poor and oppressed.
So I thought about it. But probably not the way you wanted me to.
Jesus said ''teach them to fish'' not to stuff them with freebies.
America takes those who are oppressed. Does not mean the country has to take everyone who think that they are oppressed or to open it's borders.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Another moral-touting conservative who thinks he/ she is living by the Bible but is actually being brainwashed by whoever is out there brainwashing you guys. I'm not a Republican but guess what, I'm a Christian and I know my Bible. I'm also pretty well educated about other religions and am not afraid of them. Jesus never, ever said to teach them to fish - go ahead, get your Bible and look it up by topic in the back. Find anything? Didn't think so. Now I'll give you that it's a pretty good saying but just not Biblical.
Do you know what really Jesus said about the hungry? He said to feed them. Period. No qualifications. Also he entered into relationships with them and didn't judge them from afar. Not exactly what I'm seeing from the Republicans...
Surely you remember the famous story of the loaves and fishes! Jesus and his friends had a ton of loaves of bread and a ton of fishes, but he didn't want the crowd to get lazy and reliant, so instead of sharing what he had, he took them all down to the river and taught them to fish. When the crowd didn't catch many fish, Jesus and his friends just ate what they had anyway - after all, surely seeing the hard working apostles eating would motivate the crowd to just work harder to catch fish.

That's exactly what they're scared of - people who can think for themselves and aren't sheep, blindly following the liberal party line. While there are some aspects of the Democratic platform that I agree with, I could never vote for another Democrat again. They haven't just moved too far left - they've fallen off the cliff entirely.
PP here. This is what I'm talking about. You make no sense. The Dem and R party switched decades ago. Stop using that line. Dixiecrats are now republicans. I'm pro choice so your entire dead baby thing is crazy. Plus, I've always known many pro-choice republican women. I live in DC. Who's independent? We fundamentally believe different things about the way the country should run. I can accept that. I can't accept the stupid name calling about dead babies, etc.
Senator KKK Byrd remained a Dem
And Jack Kemp was a republican. He would have been kicked out of your party today. Byrd denounced his KKK roots. Anyway, the point remains.
And JFK would've been kicked out of yours.
I forgot Byrd apologized. Lynching Black people is ok if you apologize for it

Ummm.... that's not in the Bible. Not only did Jesus say we should give to the poor and take care of the refugee, when he sent his disciples out, he instructed them to live on the charity of the towns they visited.
Nothing worse than a conservative christian who doesn't even know his Bible.
Nothing worse than a liberal.
No caveats.
There’s simply nothing worse.

Interesting. Not the PP, but do you follow these teachings when it comes to poor whites living in flyover country? (You know, those you and your fellow liberals mock on a daily basis for being "stupid" and "uneducated.") Or just to poor minorities?

You seem angry that there is now a thread accusing liberals of the very same thing you've been accusing conservatives of: fear and anger.
Why do you think I'm angry? I think it's funny in a sad, pathetic way. Can't even come up with an original thought, huh? Need to rely on projecting and gaslighting to attempt to make a point? Sad, pathetic little deplorables.
Yep, you don't sound angry at all. Those sad, pathetic little deplorables really get under your skin.
