You should explain in detail how agent00f is racist, as you imply.

I was only pointing out the fact that when others use those types of discriptions they are called out on it by the likes of him. But he is OK using it himself.

I don't really consider him a racist.

A douche yes a racist, well no.

Again, context matters. Another thing righties have trouble with, as well, is satire.

It is actually a doble standard here. I got a day of vacation for using the word "Mexican".

And in what context? Oh, yeah, I forgot...context is something that eludes you, when you want it to. But context always matters...except to you and a handful of others.

<waits for the moderator intervention that pcgeek11 must therefore have been expecting with this statement>

The world must be a very confusing place to you, as well as the stoning scene from 'The Life of Brian'.
 
On SCOTUS appointments it seems that after all the pandering is done Trump probably supports gay marriage, abortion and Second Amendment rights.

Something that everyone can hate and say "I told you so" about. We'll see what he does, but if he does walk back that will cause the opposition to gloat, his followers to say they still won.

You got that right! My mom watched the SNL skit Haunted Elevator and afterwards said that she didn't get it. I had to walk her through the skit and describe the different elements that she saw but couldn't properly interpret. The same goes with real life, their eyes see things but their minds cannot conceive what they are actually witnessing.

I'm loving this in a way. The 'anti-establishment' candidate was really the establishment candidate after all.

I wasn't "expecting" anything except what I got. Stupid comments from assholes like yourself. 🙂

Ok replace racism with bigotry if it makes you feel better. There was no bigotry involved.

No, had you kept with racism that was at least somewhat arguable. The subsequent comments in that thread explain why it was bigoted from various angle, but no surprise your reading comprehension isn't up to them. And really, not understanding things despite all the spoon feeding is the problem here.

All you have to do to win elections is to spout blatant lies that appeal to greed and right-wing extremists. They'll be mad once they discover those were lies, but by then it's too late. And the next elections all you need to do is rinse and repeat as their memory isn't good enough to remember the previous elections.

Brexit also passed because of all the promises that were made regarding all the money that it would free. They didn't even wait a day after winning before mentioning that those claims were BS and that they had lied about it.

The right-wing party that won the elections in the Netherlands years ago did so by claiming they'd give working people each a thousand euros tax-free in the first year. Of course they never did, and blamed it on the economy

The right to vote should require an IQ test..

Be careful, you might just cut off half of the Democrat base as well if you require IQ tests. Besides, IQ has nothing to do with emotion. I say this because people seem to be voting off of emotions in this election and past elections. IQ isn't going to detect irrational fears from either side of the aisle. It isn't going to account for all of the -isms that everyone on the right seems to suffer from. You know they are all clearly racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. It could never, ever, ever possibly be a policy of the left that people oppose. That would require that the left has to admit that their ideology isn't perfect and we see how the snowflakes handle rejection.

Well actual empirical research into the attitudes of Trump supporters shows a significantly higher level of racial resentment among them than in the rest of the population.

So all racists or whatever? Of course not. More likely to be racists and bigots? Yep!

At least Hillary was up 12 in that poll you cited a few months ago, you've got that going for you at least.
