Errr right. Blame the victim mentality. Trump supporters were ASKING for it!
 
Trump isn't fascist but then again his lampooning of a Mexican judge makes him a white supremacist I s'pose that's better

This repulsive stance is the reason the Islamic/Arabic states continue having third world issues. I wish I could say I was shocked that you would support violence against those expressing their freedom of speech and right to vote.

Trump equated the guy who cold cocked someone from behind for carrying a sign he didn't like with being a criminal? Well no wonder he was mad. Everyone knows that punks don't like being called out.

Most underrated post of the thread. Repped. It deserves its own thread. It would be interesting to attempt to have a rational discussion about your second paragraph. My conservatism is primarily because I do not believe that the government handles things very efficiently. I have a lot more confidence in the private sector. I've probably picked up certain conservative beliefs that I should examine more closely along the way.

I think that humans are, by nature, tribal. For most of our history this was a matter of survival. We often don't even realize we're doing it. Many people adopt a "we vs. them" mentality in most areas. This probably explains why people on either side hold similar beliefs even on topics that don't come down to the core reasons that they identify as conservative, liberal or whatever else.

Edit: I tried to rep but apparently I must spread some around.

I don't think so. The aligning similarities in the stances seem to pair too well to be a part of tribe mentality IMO, at least in the homeland.

With my one iron (only God can hit a one iron) I'd probably swing for the fences to drive the point that both sides really aren't all that off on perspective but only in the way they express themselves. You believe private sector is more competent but I doubt you believe in unbridled capitalism. The other side says unbridled capitalism is ruining us but it is essentially effective.
