How did we ever get to this point? It's absolutely disgusting.
And the people whose only goal in life is to ramp up the rhetoric more and more every day should be absolutely ashamed of what they are doing to this country. Certain politicians.

Because it really is vile.

Rejection is a very bitter pill to swallow. These idealists cannot accept the American people rejected their cherished progressive ideals. The only way they can rationalize the rejection of the progressive agenda is to believe that anyone who disagrees with them is evil and evil needs to be destroyed.
If you support the current President, evil personified because he is undoing their agenda, you are not a person with bad ideas, but you are an evil being who must be eradicated.

In other words...the idealists out there have concluded that the Trump supporters should be rounded up and hanged. One guy totally loses it and flies off the handle...and he suddenly becomes the voice of the idealists at large.

True, and a lot of low information voters on the right felt the same way about Hillary, and before that Obama.

What's sad is that you can't grasp that people are anti-Donny because he is not only a buffoon but a dim-witted one. He is an embarrassment to the majority in this country.

Certain idealists, These idealists, have come to that very same conclusion. Look at _________'s recent postings, the person whom you wished did not use the handle ________, because you wanted to read more of his posts and you could not search the term ________ and the words of Maxine Water's and the actions of antifa, and the harassment of the president's administration officials and the shooting of republican members of congress baseball team and so on and on. There is plenty of evidence for my assertion.

Obama already defined that role, so we are use to it.

There are plenty more out there like him. They just don't have the balls to say it out loud.

Maybe...but you said yesterday that there were plenty of those like him ON THIS BOARD...and that was irresponsible on your part, IMO. Unless, of course, you can actually name the PA posters who you feel wish you to be hanged for your Trump alliance.

Nothing so drastic, I'm sure. Shipping them off to re-education camps would be the humane solution.

Considering I would never think _______ would be one to write this, who knows, right? I can only assume. Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I am so blind I can't see how evil Trump really is. Maybe he really is a fascist white supremacist bent on taking over the world, who just so happens to have a Jewish daughter and Jewish grandchildren. Maybe that's how WS's roll these days...maybe they like Jews now.
But I digress.
I remember when someone on this board (I really can't remember their name or I would post it) told us that George W. Bush was intent on turning the USA into a theocracy. We all know THAT didn't happen...
So I feel pretty safe in my thinking that they are wrong about Trump as well, and his evil intentions.
Just like the far-right was wrong that Obama was going to turn us into some far-left socialist country....err....Bernie Sanders...err...hold on now...maybe this one is just taking a little longer?
There I go with my teenage girl emoticons again. Sorry ________

"These idealists."
The exact same rhetoric was spewed about Obama and his supporters...but no big deal was ever made of it. Extremists take extreme positions, from BOTH sides of the political aisle...and they are ALL wrong. But...some of you guys here only object to HALF of the story.

Are you accusing PA of lying about a member of this board asserting that PA should be hanged for supporting the President?
Would it not be irresponsible to out the member for the vile comment, possibly exposing the perpetrator to backlash from other members?

Examples please. Examples of group harassment of Obama's administration officials in public places, antifa like violence, on college campuses, protesting certain progressive speakers, republican congressperson calling for violence against Obama's administration and its supporters, the shooting of a group of democrat congressmen, while they participated in a group social event.
