Why are Trump supporters demonised for being white supremacists ?

Kayleigh McEnany explained on the "Fox & Friends" show Monday morning, "His point in tweeting out that video was to stand with his supporters, who are oftentimes demonized."
Because many of them are. That’s [b]why[/b] they support Trump.
@Kwek00 Alas, they might as well be. They share that affiliation, especially now.

@bijouxbroussard I've seen that tweeted video a couple of times by now... but I think both sides are pretty ridiculous in that one. But it's a fact that Donald needs support from that particular corner of the political realm and he pampers too it.

@bijouxbroussard [i]The phenomenon called “psychology of oppression” is the psychological effects of social oppression and the psychological requirements that sustain social oppression. In other words, social oppression [u]includes a psychological complement in the victim that contributes to his subjugation[/u].[/i]
It occurs in all kinds of oppression. I think in a similar way to Stockholm Syndrome, the instinct for survival means that in the end some people speak up for the oppressors.

It's not that all Trump supporters are white supremacists, but basically all white supremacists are Trump supporters, so that does say something.

Well, actually, they are. If you support Trump you support white supremacy 🤷‍♀️

@daisymay yes, but the poster said: ''be'' not ''support''. It doesn't matter if each and every one is literally a white supremacist, it's a tide within the movement and it supports white supremacists as you say
Trump's racism was well known from before he was elected.

It is therefore assumed that either his voters were in favour of racism or at the very least considered it unimportant compared to his economic goals.
Even tacit or passive racism is still racism.

There is ample film footage from prior to Trump's election in which he openly declares that he has always hated blacks and all non-whites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkBBNU8c-xU

@hartfire You are right. Trump's racism was known years before he ever ran for office. That is why he was given awards by civil rights groups across America because you know those civil rights groups are all racist and stuff too. (Racist/White Supremacist - anyone winning a debate with a liberal)

If you stand with a white supremacist, you're either a racist or a dumbass as far as I'm concerned, regardless of whether or not he happens to support you. Imagine how much of an uproar the right would be in if Bernie Sanders gave Antifa thugs a shout-out.

White supremacists should be demonized. If Trump wants to support white supremacists, then he should be demonized as well. White supremacy has no place it belongs in the world today.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@MistyCee There are some things that just can't be excused.
@windinhishair Agreed. I've never bought the whole turn the other cheek thing.

But I keep reminding myself not to give into the Dark side of the force lest I become too much like those I abhor.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@MistyCee That's good advice. I don't think it is wrong to oppose darkness that hurts people. I'm generally tolerant, but that's where I draw the line.

It’s a large part of his base, along with ranting religious fanatics and people brainwashed by large corporations into supporting the GOP, some of those are racists some are not. It’s not just Trump it’s his right wing GOP

He literally tweeted in favour of white supremacy.

Not all his supporters are white supremacists but his movement definitely has that element and he plays to the crowd.
Its probably almost impossible to overstate the role that tribalism, xenophobia, fear, hate, envy and jealousy collectively played in Trumpism.

For decades, the GOP had an uncomfortable relationship with white supremacists, but Trump has embraced them and seems to have successfully united them with others who feel left behind, replaced by, kept back, oppressed and looked down on by elites, Democrats, intellectuals, and foreigners.

The Democrats are fighting their own battles with their own demons with how to respond to it, but Republican "leaders" in order to stay leaders have offered virtually no resistance and seem to walk around looking worried and apprehensive about the rabid tiger whose tail they're clinging to while it kills humans and destroys both its habitat and the barriers that keep it contained instead of joyfully feasting on its kills.

The Lincoln project is doing its best with a chair and a whip to taunt the beast, but so far, there's no one with a clear shot to take it out, and my guess is, even when this animal does go down, amongst the carcasses will be other infected animals.

Laughing at and how stupid the animals seems almost likes the a natural response to the gore and destruction, but at the end of the day, it's not a pretty sight, and I'm not quite sure that it will ever be cleaned up and open for visitors again, almost certainly not soon and without much more secure barriers.

Gee, that was fun.

@MistyCee Bravo ! 👋
tennisdad · 41-45, M
Only by liberals they are demonised which, in reality, means absolutely nothing to most people.
tennisdad · 41-45, M
@daisymay I'll always be your friend! Always fun to go and forth on these kinds of sites with you. All just for fun, laughs and entertainment purposes only. No hard feelings. Take care and have a good night!🤟
daisymay · 51-55, T
@tennisdad As I say I am not friendly with mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, shit-eating bigots.

But your tacit admission that you got your widdle feewers hurted by that mean ol' liberal is duly noted.
tennisdad · 41-45, M
@daisymay Good morning! Hope you're well today. What's new with you?

If Putin put bounties on Confederate monuments, he'd be in real trouble!! 🤷‍♀️

Kayleigh McEnany "explained" nothing!! She walked of after being asked, why Trump retweeted the white power video! 🤷‍♀️
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@MistyCee ' I think her performance has been pretty impressive.'

If you think throwing irrelevant opinion piece quotes back at the press and forever diving into non-sequiturs is impressive , well maybe.
@RodionRomanovitch But look how much more graceful she is at it than her predecessors.
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@MistyCee I still miss Spicey.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
Ah! Just noticed your username and a few of your posts.

You are a left-wing contrarian. I get it now. 🤣
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
Because they often are?
SW-User
There is something that Trump could do to fix that though. Stop pandering to the white supremacists and the racists that he has in his base.

Because faux-persecution WORKS on the most fearful and foolish. It's not too complicated.

Cuz, the left believes we're as thin skinned as they are and that we'll abandon the best president the country has ever know fo9r fear they might call us names!

When in truth - we're so used to it!
Obama, Hillary, the whole leftist gang and media - take a dump on white conservative, fly over country, hard working people, Christians, Constitutionalists.

They're gonna get their dicks and tits slammed in the door again come November when Trump rolls over Uncle Joe.

@Budwick Well, since it ran away from the other thread in this question (where it came to specifically poke at yours truly, no less), I thought I'd ask it here:

Does it think Vlad paid a fair amount per US solider the Taliban killed while its traitor hero looked the other way or was he too generous? What value does it place on the lives the Orange Moron let be murdered? How many Benghazis would that be?

RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@SW-User Never overlook the most obvious explanation.
daisymay · 51-55, T
Because white supremacists are awful, vile pieces of shit?
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@daisymay 'I'm just perplexed at the question of why someone would be reviled for being a white supremacist.' ..... ever hear of satire ?
daisymay · 51-55, T
@RodionRomanovitch No, do you have an example that demonstrates the concept?
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@daisymay Do you enjoy being obtuse ?
Budwick · 70-79, M

That's because the best they can come up with to run against Trump is Slow Joe.
So, they gotta try to scare American Patriots into turning against their country.

That should work just fine! 🤣
SevIsPamprinYouAlways · 56-60, F
ROTFLMFAO! “Slow Joe”

Here’s what his won advisers had to say about Trump:

[b]As[/b] being white supremacists or [b]for[/b] being white supremacists? There is a difference.
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@Miram Which is why I said for.
Miram · 31-35, F
@RodionRomanovitch aren't you such a cheerful satirical kitty..
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@Miram I try me best.
It's actually difficult to be as crude as they are, I think they are worse than any caricature you can think of.
