I guess your parents know about incidents like this illegal Arab man caught stockpiling ammo:

Trump speaks to their aspirations, fears and hopes. These are people who are opposed to illegal immigration, granting amnesty to illegals, they despise political correctness, they think everything is out of control when it comes to dealing with Islamic inspired terrorism - even if it is a perversion.

If he ends up the nominee, it will not surprise me if many of these people vote for him.



This is the bottom line


Do you know how many people cited foreign policy as their top issue in the 2012 exit polls? 4%

This "illegal Arab man" entered the country on a student visa. Conservatives can't figure out whether to be aroused or shit themselves when a Muslim on the country illegally is arrested on a weapons charge.


And if you keep reading, you'll see he was kicked out of school and that invalidated his Visa, making him illegal.

I'm sure you read that in the article, but deliberately didn't post it, right? Or did you just stop reading at the point where you thought you had something clever, but instead made an ass out of yourself?


Do you lack reading comprehension skills or are just another dime-a-dozen conservative asshole? Hint: note the word "illegal" in my post.

Just four friends. Three from my hometown in southwest Ohio, one from DC who likes to laugh at what he says.

This . I am from the south too OP. And those conservatives we grew up actually do secretly agree with him but they know he acts like a clown do they can't say it out loud. Every time he says another crazy things my yankee/liberal friends are so certain he is toast. And I say "nope, wait till the next poll comes out, he is going up"-- and I come from an educated/uppclass background and I know for a fact a lot of my souther ilk feel like someone is finally speaking for them. They just can be seen as low class so no trump sign in the yard. Its against the HOA at the Country club anyhow.

So, the people in Paris weren't terrorists because they didn't engage in airplane terror? And the church arsonists in the South aren't either because they probably don't even own an passport? And the Oklahoma bombers weren't terrorists because 2 isn't really a group?

Weird definition you've got there.

Trump isn't anywhere near as open as the National Front.

Can I be honest here since this is an anonymous forum…. I find myself agreeing with A LOT of his ideas. Like building a wall in the south border, closing the borders for muslims for now as examples. However, while I do agree with him I also realize these ideas are fucked up in essence and horrible things have happened in the past that started with similar "ideas." So I just take a step back and try to have more empathy towards others. It is hard though since his solutions sounds so simple, yet I know they are just wrong.

A while back my friends worried about the rise of fascism in Europe with the fall of USRR, but I always argued that the U.S. was a more fertile ground for an openly fascist candidate with a real chance of winning a primary or a general election. It pains me to have to say, "I told you so!"
