The alternate reality his supporters live in, in their eyes he can do no wrong...those sorts don't really have a huge problem with fascism or oligarchy.

I mean an example of their mentality is throwing a fit about people kneeling for the national anthem...then displaying a defaced flag with a blue stripe. I thought they were mad about perceived disrespect of the flag and then they turn around and disrespect it to by defacing it? Not sure how to reason with someone like that.


I don't know what you mean about the flag, but I think his supporters are able to recognize his accomplishments without worshiping him and thinking of him as perfect.


You don't know how its hypocritical to complain about 'disrespect' of the flag...and then go around waving a defaced flag? Or you don't know about the blue line flag?

Also that is not the impression I get from the majority of his supporters, I've interacted with...seems he truly can do no wrong in their eyes. His accomplishments are terrible I mean great he turned the EPA into the environmental destruction agency ran by coal lobbyists. He permanently created a huge tax break for the wealthiest and temporarily lowered taxes for middle class and below, but over a couple years the tax rate for middle class and below will go up while that of the wealthiest americans will stay the same. And before that he got to where he is wealth wise by money laundering and corrupt business practices as well as whatever money he was born into. He didn't get there through honest hard work and perseverance more like lying and cheating, so what is there to be proud of?

Lets not forget the fact that he continues to piss off our enemies while alienating all of our allies. What good is a country without friends when it hits rock bottom?

Blue line flag. So far what I've looked up has to do with law enforcement flags: https://www.thinbluelineusa.com/collect ... ment-flags

The military apparently has US flag patches in all kinds of different color schemes:
https://www.dhgate.com/product/15-color ... 2657950061

Then there's some articles about Trump coloring a US flag with blue stripes. However I can't help but notice in the photo used by them he is holding a red marker.

He has also made some legitimate accomplishments. I remember posting a list of them some time ago that was produced by the Washington Post of all sources. I'm not saying that means he's a good president or not, but they do exist.

I could try and make a list of Hitler's genuine accomplishments for Germany, but I ain't going to do that because somehow comparing Trump to Hitler downgrades my valid points about him.

The Alt Right types who support Trump, such as Richard Spencer and the waste of working human organs who murdered Heather Heyer and the douchebags who defend him, certainly are.

Or how about the ones who defend placing the children of illegal immigrants in internment camps? These are CHILDREN!

Sure, why not? Both were corrupt dirty bastards who OKed the torture, rape, and murder of Muslims. But that's all OK as long as those victims weren't Jewish, right? :roll:

I am not in favor of that, but what should be done with the children brought across the border illegally instead? Send them back by themselves?

Jewish? How do Jews come into the picture?
And while Obama had gotten us into conflicts in the Islamic world when he knew better not to, I don't recall torture being used at his command, as in the case of W. Bush.
