Try making an argument for or against something instead just criticizing those who post. We have no idea what you believe in or your position on anything. I would love to disagree or agree with your beliefs or positions if any actually exist.

You keep saying that, and I keep responding, and you keep not reading.....because you keep talking.

What Those Who Studied Nazis Can Teach Us About The Strange Reaction To Donald Trump | The Huffington Post

Interesting article. Fascism is not meant to convince, but rather to impress. It's designed to be a feel good philosophy based on emotion and fantasy. I get the feeling that none of the Trump supporters can see through this BS, and far too many on the other side have the same problem. For me the most disturbing passages:

The problem, the personal problem, was not what our enemies did, but what our friends did. Friends ‘coordinated’ or got in line.” And this coordination was not necessarily due to the “pressure of terror,” said Arendt, who escaped Germany in 1933. Intellectuals were particularly vulnerable to this wave of coordination. “The essence of being an intellectual is that one fabricates ideas about everything,” and many intellectuals of her time were “trapped by their own ideas.”

People rejected the uglier aspects of Nazism but gave ground in ways that ultimately made it successful. They conceded premises to faulty arguments. They rejected the “facts” of propaganda, but not the impressions of it. The new paradigm of authoritarianism was so disorienting that they simply could not see it for what it was, let alone confront it.

"They rejected the "facts" of propaganda, but not the impressions of it."

That explains a lot. Thanks for the "poop".

How far back do we have to go to find meaningful response? Your last few posts seem to be whining. To refresh your brain, the subject is "Trump's America and Trump's Cabinet". Since a lot of us seem to be criticizing Trump's policies as projected by his cabinet picks, I assume your job is to defend them. Please let me know how these billionaires are going to show empathy for the American public.

The problem with what is being said by the non-Trump fringe is that it is not based on fact, personal knowledge, or anything positive and meaningful....do you truly think that, if he picked homeless people, that there would be more "empathy for the American public"?! Your collective rhetoric is not based on reality; it is based on "waaaaaa, I didn't get my way, and Mr. Orangehair is a mean man who says stuff, and he is going to pick other bad people to implode our (and his) country, waaaa". Get a grip....things might just be exactly the opposite of what you are hoping for....just so you can say, "see!". The sky is not falling Henny Penny.

What single fact have you offered to the conversation? No one can refute your ad hominem attack because that is a logical fallacy and not an argument.

What us ‘non-Trump fringe’ post here are facts and bits of satire that mirrors the current political climate all of which is verified in the post or by a simple search. Self- awareness isn't one of your strong points, is it?

Final Popular Vote Total Shows Hillary Clinton Won Almost 3 Million More Ballots Than Donald Trump | The Huffington Post

Trump ‘won in a landslide’ by -2,864,974 votes.

Damn, Trump is still whining about losing the popular vote. He is having a hard time being less liked. Let's hope he can't handle it and continues to prove he is unfit.

We have a president elect whose worldview is not based on fact. I base my opinion of him primarily on things that he says. In other words, lies, contradictions, childish outbursts and delusions. Let's not forget, the foundation for his campaign was the birtherism lie. If my view of Trump is somehow void of factual information, it's only because I'm getting that information straight from the source. I'm paying attention to what he has to say.

Crybaby-In-Chief. As of last night, Trump had tweeted 8 times in a 24 hour period. Once every three hours. Small mind, small hands, small whatever.
