I think anyone who supports ethnic and religious bans and persecution is a bad person. Even if they deprioritize them in voting over other policies, thinking, well, who cares, a little bit of racism never hurt anyone, that makes them a bad person.

And Trump promised voters that, and now they're getting what they voted for. The only very thin escape route a Trump-voter has is "I thought he was lying to trick the rubes, this was totally unexpected."

In which case, the voter is just really stupid. That doesn't make them a bad person--I know lots of kind stupid people! But it does make them, you know, stupid.



And anyone who supports a man who is killing innocent people with drones, wiretaps all the world, signs things that allow kill people without any questions is a bad person. Heck, some even voted for him twice! What a bunch of fascist.

So in the end all the Americans are bad people or maybe you guys start to understand each other more to avoid these situations in the future. Calling each stupid doesn't lead you anywhere.


I guess this is the modern, "And you lynch negroes!" Russian is en vogue among the Trumpistas, I get it.

For what it's worth, I opposed endless drone strikes and endless war too. But you're engaging in an idiotic equivocation: they're simply not comparable.


I really don't know what understand what 'negroes' and Russians have anything to do with it. I'm not an American, but you made my belief that nothing is going to change soon because American people are so polarized and and certain there are two works views. You're either blue or red and that's it.


It was a famous catch phrase that the Soviets would use against Americans. The typical refrain was Americans criticize the USSR for killing political dissidents, starving Ukrainians, and keeping millions in the Gulag; and the Soviet diplomat tries to shift discussion of the issue to American segregation in the South, as a way of derailing the discussion.

That was more informative than your previous post :) Thanks, this is actually interesting (I was born in the Soviet Union)


There are no ethic or religious bans.... It was a ban on people coming from certain countries.
