Apparently the deplorables are too deplorable even for Trump!

[LegendKiller]

And Hillary only disavows the people out blocking traffic, breaking things, holding up ambulances, actually KILLING people for joking about voting for Trump because she's already...

... oh wait, DID she actually disavow all of that?

No, she hugs them and tells them to keep going. You know, "hands up, don't shoot" and all of that trash.

(The stupid notion that Trump is really akin to Hitler. Hate the guy all you want- and there's plenty to criticize him over, but he's not Hitler-).

Only history-morons thought he was a Hitler. Trump is a Mussilini. A power-hungry blend of left and right populism politics, nationalism, and traditionalism where the "others" are the enemy and only a strong leader can alone fix the problems.

In the same sense Hillary courted the left/loon/dipshit/moonbat/racebaitingmoron/labelitwhatyoulike vote.

A key constituency.

 

[Moonbeam]

He'll need that vote & get it 4 years from today. Bet on it.

My insanity tells me that in four years he won't need the racist vote because by then everybody will know he's a closet liberal. Hahahahahahaha!

Nowhere, since his chief strategist is one. And they'll continue pissing in your cheerios and watching the hilarious temper tantrums that result

He's not pissing in my cheerios Sparky. It's not my country he's pulling apart.

I thought that it was a bad idea to vote for him, I still think that it was a bad idea to vote for him, but you guys did and now I'm just going to treat the ensuing clusterfuck as entertainment.

It makes Brexit seem tame in comparison, I'm sure.

Trump is his own brand of demagogue. What he shares with his predecessors is an uncanny ability to turn off people's rational defenses & manipulate them at an emotional level. He also has the advantage of decades of brain softening right wing agitprop as a foundation.

Brexit was a massive mistake as well, I'm using your colossal mistake to distract myself from it.

He plainly denounced them.
The regressive left refuses to accept something outside their painted narratives.
No surprises here.

It's not how quickly that Trump dropped the neo-nazi 'alt-right' that surprises me, but how readily they'll still suck his dick even after being dumped.

That won't be getting any better, sorry to say. Brussels was certainly a problem, no doubt, but the best thing the UK had going for it was providing duty-free access for financial services to the EU in a different currency, and that's gone now as far as the market is concerned, which has priced in expectations of future trade barriers. And is why the pound has dropped, while the increases seen in other pound-denominated assets are due to the resultant inflation. Just like us, you guys voted to screw yourselves in order to screw everyone else.

 

[Exophase]

No surprise he is trying to go mainstream after the election. The most amusing part is him denying that Bannon has anything to do with the alt right. He was only the editor-in-chief of the single most prominent alt right website But no, he has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Is anyone actually denying that Bannon has anything to do with the alt-right, or that his publication didn't openly champion themselves under that label?

I thought the denial was that alt-right is synonymous with Nazism and white supremacy. Which is what Trump was disavowing, wasn't he? He doesn't flat out name and discredit the alt-right, the article is just making that substitution for him.

I don't even really understand what the alt-right is exactly, or if it's really much of anything beyond a loose label being used by multiple parties with varying ideologies and motivations (including the ones that are calling it out)

EDIT: Never mind, apparently Trump actually does lump in alt-right in his disavowal. What a really confused message.. I get the feeling he has even less idea what any of these labels mean than I do.

C'mon, that wasn't a "dump". That was a <wink> Bad people! Bad people! Don't know why you like me. Stop it. Stop it right now" <wink>

"Alt-right"

It's called rebranding.
