It's not like we're talking about two different football teams or something here. You can look at a lot of what Trump and some of his supporters have said, and the racism, sexism, and fascism is there to see.

I'm not sure of the relevance of the 2nd wife reference. Is divorce a stick to beat people with? It's a rather unpleasant business for all concerned, and I suspect anyone who has been through it would not make such a comment. It shouldn't be shamed. It's funny, when it's Trumps wife it's ok to have a pop at the relatively weak English of the immigrant! Who cares about how nice Obama was to his wife! Their phoney way of managing their public image was beyond the pale. He was a particularly big fan of using his social media to publicise his happy perfect marriage to the world. He took a lot of dignity out of the role in his time in it! Fortunately they elect the person on the strength of their credentials for the role, not a judgement of their marriages!

He has said that he's going to end diplomatic ties with countries, undo the Iran deal, renege on trade deals with China etc. So when someone comes along claiming that he's going to foster ties with such countries, I think it's fair to call bullshit

ligerdub wrote: » Interesting slant. Liberal sides have lost two major elections this year, both of which involved strong polling for their cause up until the vote itself. In both cases they accused the politicians/individuals on the other side of the vote as being anti-immigrant, sexist, racist, bigot, misogynists, and they extended this rather courteous treatment to those who voted against their own views. It's a rather ugly tactic used by this group, and completely ignores any other possible reasons, valid ones, for how the vote went the way it did. In both cases it's clear that the media and others are looking to find certain strands of voters to "blame" the outcome on! As usual it's open season on white males, but in no way is that ever viewed as a problematic criticism. You can add in the older age groups or "uneducated" in the blame game. The way the more fluffy kitten "think of the children" types claim a monopoly on virtue is sickening. Controlling the sentiment of the airwaves on facebook and twitter is not how democracy works, you have your say in the ballot box and that's that. Finding problems with the results of this is in some way bigoted, intolerant and in most cases both sexist and racist itself! When it doesn't go your way it's not because of racism or sexism. Grow up!
