OP approvingly posts a detailed article about waging war and killing domestic "enemies" who, it must be said, are guilty of merely being his political adversaries. One could argue with almost any other regular poster here that such approval would charitably refer to the alleged debate-worthy...

I think there's still a difference, though. Every Christian theocracy in history has either been discarded wholesale through revolution or neutered to the point of what is essentially symbolism in a virtually powerless monarchy. Islam has not reached that probably inevitable point in their...

I'm sorry you feel that way, but in over 15 years of itinerant forum discussions I can't think of one instance where my mind was changed after endless lobbing of heated rhetoric, usually fallacy-riddled assertions, and poorly sourced and cited (at best) opinions. I've no reason to believe this...

I haven't. Is there some writing of his that is relevant to this thread that you recommend?

Thanks for the correction and apologies for the irritation.

There are off-putting attributes that will and will not speak to one's executive capacity (e.g. willingness to commit oval office adultery or ordering the burglary of the offices of your political opponent) and to one's suitability to be a shaper of public opinion in the media.  As you rightly...

*Edit #2: I should think if conservatives were genuinely so concerned about maligning the motives of large swathes of people Trump's "Mexicans are rapists", etc. would be thoroughly offputting. Funny that it doesn't seem to be. Regardless, the article does not ascribe "malign motives" it...

To be more precise it's a Twitter article with many sources. Regardless the over-arching premise of this article is that there is a deeply held belief in white entitlement (if not supremacy) that drives conservatives generally and Trump voters particularly. As the article describes in some...

So we can see that compromise has died in the American independent and left-leaning voters, but why has never really existed in "conservatives"? Glad you asked! Source

Canada's government is a Westminster parliamentary system meaning the executive is formed from members of the legislature. It gives largely symbolic credence to governance by 'King-in-Council' through a Governor General who does not have any significant power or authority, much less an ability...

According to Pew Research Centre, It's obviously in response to Trump, but frankly it's long, long overdue. Imagine if Democrats didn't compromise on the warcrime in Iraq, if Obama didn't compromise with Romneycare and stuck to at least a public option, if Obama had stuck to his guns about...

Since my post was the last in 'Global Politics' before this new guideline came out I apologize if it was in any way the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back". From The Atlantic article posted by FJAG; It's simply incredible we live in a world where the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES...

Unsourced claims about unspecified people with vague wishes and concerns about a "ledger" and a possible eventuality in the next Presidential election is not even remotely a so-called "reality check", especially not compared to the actual stuff going down right now in Washington. The level of...

"Her"? "Her" who? Hillary? This is really getting ridiculous, and frankly a little sad. You should come to grips with the fact that that "validity" is a fabrication entirely within the insular echo chamber of right-wing media. When Hillary lost to Trump her name became mud to virtually all...

If allegations of sexual misconduct is the bar then Trump is at least as guilty on that front. The difference still remains you won't see a Clinton defender brush off misogyny as "locker room talk". Throw in Trump's bigotry, racism, mockery of disabilities, denigration of veterans and veteran...

For one Clinton was a neoliberal globalist in favour of international trade and trade agreements, so it's unlikely many of his supporters were very much into protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants. For another, if you think there is an...

Or how about Hillary? That'd be a good start...

Are we the baddies?

Or if similar deference and reticence were to be deployed in the Mueller investigation threads. Nope. Same thing.

Badly written teen fiction nails it. The article in question goes beyond mere ideation of conflict into something far more titillating. It's crystal clear it is not intended for academic consideration and conjecture since intemperate words like "hate" without considerable support are not words...
