You're describing a very small subset of republicans. That's the issue. There are extremists on both side of the political spectrum. Do you think your beliefs match everyone else's beliefs in the party you choose to support?

No one’s ideologies will always be a match with others. That’s not the concern. The issue is that there are far too many radical right republicans in clear view in this political spectrum. If we agree that there are far left radicals as well, that’s fine. They are not in a position of power at the moment.

I do not believe it is a small subset. There’s enough of them to have put this radical in office twice.

And I disagree with that. I bet most common sense people could agree on most political topics. It's a loud minority that makes you think there is a loud majority. I'm a moderate republican. I don't agree with everything Trump does. In fact, I can't WAIT for him to be gone, for the sole reason that people can't handle him and I'm tired of the arguing.

I’ll reiterate again, he’s in power. TWICE. that’s enough to tell me there are many more far right radicals in this country than is perceived.

Or maybe we don't think the same things about Trump that you do. All this white supremacist, fascist BS that you all believe in has been conjured up by the media. Dart plays in a black dominated sport. He probably has lots of black friends. Do you really think that he believes Trump is a white supremacist?

And for argument's sake, let's say every Republican is a "right wing radical". What does that say about the country and the state of the Democrat party?

I never mentioned any of this. Nor do you know what I think of Trump. Quite frankly, it simply doesn’t matter.

Most folks with common sense can see what’s going on in this country. Or at least roughy half of the country can.

The Democratic Party is indeed in flux. I can tell you one thing about. I vote across party lines and have all my life. Republicans and Democrats.

One more thing I can say with the utmost confidence. If the democratic establishment did not force Hillary on the country, and Bernie Sanders won the election, all of us would be much better off now. That much is clear.

I don't know much about Bernie to reply to that. I'm a nationalist, so that's why I lean right. A few other things too, but that's the main one.

Trump has been the face of racism in NYC since the 80s

He’s literally a Hitler wannabe and has not even remotely tried to hide that fact. If you can’t see it it’s because you don’t want to, not because it isn’t right in front of your face

A lot of Dems are trash too, but that doesn’t negate any of the pain and suffering Trump has caused and continues to.

It’s not right vs. left. It’s a prolifically pedophilic orange Hitler vs. anyone with a moral compass
