Extreme is extreme on the left and right, it's not one sided.

There are some (lots) of pretty bizarre Trump supporters out there you might notice.

No, that is not the case !

I have not seen any Conservative / Non leftist / ( normal ) supporters rioting, becoming deranged, attacking people for their beliefs, making up stories, creating fake news, threatening violence, calling people stupid names, living in a bubble of self denial, and maybe just simply making fools of themselves by creating "Safe Spaces" at universities.

Only people with this affliction could consider voting for Hilary Clinton, a flawed, corrupt, brain damaged, untruthful, unhealthy nasty piece of business.

Their symptoms seem to be getting worse, and in all places, America. Europe is terminal.

There can not be any treatment for this disorder if we do not recognize it as such.

The Muslims have achieved their wildest dreams in recent years on the back of using these leftist mentally ill western ( European ) politicians to achieve their goals.

They knew the weakness of the West and who to tie their ambitions to. Muslims are not stupid, they have 1,500 years start on us for dealing in subterfuge.

The irony of all of this is that when the Muslims fully take over their first European country, Leftist would be looked on as degenerates by them, and would be the first to have their heads hacked off.

Trump is not only the only hope America has, he maybe the only hope the world has.
Spot on. Your post reminded me of this article I read a couple of years ago from degenerate Sweden. Just another example of how far gone Sweden is and how deluded these leftists are. They are a walking contradiction. It is the only consistent trait they have. Cognitive dissonance.
Accurate opinion piece below but the article can be found on western MSM sites.

https://www.blazingcatfur.ca/2015/07...ade-as-racist/

The quicker the first European country falls the better. These dreaming liberals will be the first ones to be put in their place. A rich white family man being president or prime minister, or the mythical gender pay gap will be the least of their worries.

As for the election, how many out of touch celebs have put their money where their mouth is and moved out of the US (to another white majority country no less) like they said they would?!

You've got to be kidding!!!!!

Here is just one example.

Trump and the GOP for years pushed the line that Obama was a muslim and was born in Kenya and refused all evidence to the contrary.

Trump only admitted in September that he accepts Obama is a Christian of USA origin. That's over 7 years that he pushed this lie.

A very large number of Republican supporters still believe this.

Trump has time and time again lied and contradicted himself with opposing statements. If you want evidence I can give you plenty.

If you want evidence of right wing nut jobs look at Pizzagate and the nut jobs from the right spreading that stuff during the election and how it ended with a guy showing up with a gun.


As stated above the extremes of both left and right are both as bad as each other. And on each side they scream about how stupid and ignorant the opposing view is

If you want to gobble up this propaganda without questioning it then you are doing yourself no favours at all.

You guys really need a mirror... in fact you have one... Look at the lefties and then remember you are just as bad but on the other end of the spectrum. Guys like me who are pretty centrist look at both extremes with our jaws hanging open.

A Centrist ??????

Lets just debunk a few of your raves.

It was Hilary Clinton in the 2008 Democrat Primaries who first raised and questioned Obama’s birth certificate !

This is on public record, she started it and believed it at the time.

She would not get this wrong would she ?


You state the Donald trump has been pushing this for 7 years, well he only announced his presidential run 2 years ago !

As for Trump telling lies, please inform us all what they were.

I could take several pages to list the absolute lies by Hilary Clinton, even before the Congress investigative committees.

As for what large numbers of Republican voters believe, every poll in the USA did not know what they thought before November 8th, but you do.

So was it 10%, 20%, 50% of Trump voters that think Obamas birth certificate is a fake. ?

As for “Pizzagate” we do not know as the public, so YOU do not know !

I think you are confusing me with someone who is a supporter of Clinton. I am not.

It doesn't matter when Trump announced he was running, he still pushed that line.

As for lies, here is one for you

Trump claims Obama is the founder of ISIS.

This UK report is absolutely correct !

The Obama administration founded ISIS in Libya, and then organized them to destabilize Syria and start a civil war. The was a parting of the ways and then Obama funded Al Nusra, and still does.

Donald Trump has re stated this just recently again.

Obama and the EU / UN made a mess of the middle east, and Europe.

Has any journalist ever asked Obama if this is true ?

Yeah they called Trump a racist and that if he wins they will move to Canada, but not Mexico of course.

I have a family member who works in this field and all I can really say is stop believing what you read on the internet. ISIS/Daesh was around long before Obama ran for the presidency.

100% spot on. AlQaida/ISIS/Daesh/other Islamic extremists are the progeny of the Mujahadeen the US government funded and supplied weapons to, all to stop the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980's.

Add to this the fact that the US government funded the Iraqi regime in the early 1980's to counter the Iranian threat and it is plain as day where and how the Islamic extremism we have today was born.

Trump takes on Germany...

Trump: "There are so many Mercedes on the streets of Manhattan - Mercedes everywhere. Why no Chevrolets?"

German Vice Chancellor: "If America could make decent cars there might be a few more Chevrolets."

LOL.

I knew they would hit the ground running, didn't think they would go as high as 20%. I bet he gets rid of the 'useless' positions too. And if you don't pull your weight its BYE BYE.

Well the inauguration is early tomorrow. I've got in on recorder.

As I have said I doubt him quite a lot now than before but tomorrow is the day and he can do what he wants.

Unlike Obama he has no road blocks to get legislation through (unless his own party wants to make it hard) so he has no excuses.

G'day....The next four years is going to be interesting to say the least..We all hope he does a good job but he's going to learn real quick that Congress is a tough nut to crack..Popularist policies are bloody hard to actually carry out , especially when you're in as huge a debt that the US is in..
Someone else said he could be the one of the best US Presidents OR one of the absolute worst..no real in between perhaps.. I tend to agree..
My good friend in Maryland has serious reservations but is also hopeful that Trump will do the office of The President of The United States justice..
Sad to see so many protests initially though...hope it calms quickly..
I also hope that Australia , as a staunch friend of the USA is not forgotten but also deals with the USA on diplomatic , military and economic issues as a proper partner and not a lackie. We need to temper our strong alliance with common sense .That'd be good..
Cheers Rod..

Except that unlike Obama, trump will control the congress.

Obama had to contend with a congress that was full of his opposition. And simply ****canned almost everything he tried putting through.
I believe Obama did more executive orders than any other president before him...
