Some of us live on a finite income and cannot afford to move.

You really should read through your posts twice, three of maybe four times before you press "submit". How can you be surprised people are saying you 100% validated his statement when you go in saying "He thinks i'm sub-human, he's not going to listen me, he's not going to care about me, and ALL BECAUSE OF WHO HE VOTED FOR".

For the record, the person you're talking about is clearly Polish so I strongly doubt they could've voted for Trump even if they wanted to.

I mean, if you honest to god believe that anyone who voted for Trump (or didn't, in this case) thinks everyone "like you" is sub-human and would never listen to or care about you, based solely on that vote ... I really don't know what to tell you. That's bigotry in my book, correct me if I'm wrong.

I intended this to be a rather light-hearted thread. People are taking it way too seriously.

Maybe don't accuse people of viewing others as sub-human based on who you assume they voted for if you want to keep it light-hearted... Just a tip :p

True, but Rick Perry still bragged about all the low paying jobs that where created during his administration. 

Well since both oil and gas currently trade at a relatively low levels there actually aren't many oil or gas jobs available in Texas.

I will say this.

If you say one side is reasonable when the other is chaotic, it's clear there's a skewed bias in the author's writing. It shows a clear bias against one end of the spectrum, enabling the far Right (what we saw in Charlottesville) to go along with their motives. I highly disagree with what happened there, but in this process of demonizing them your only enabling them to commit more violence while looking foolish in the process.

Instead of demonizing one end of the spectrum resulting in both sides committing acts of violence against each other, why can't we just try to get along?

Texas is great. Been all around the US, nothing beats the hospitality and kindness of people in Texas.

Our government is shitty as fuck, though. Can't wait for these old Republicans to die the fuck out.

I'm tired of rightists blaming leftists and most particularly me personally for the fact that a neo-Nazi hit 34 people with his car at 40 miles per hour. And yes, that's exactly what you're doing. Will people PLEASE just quit trying to justify that?

You see here we go again.

The KKK and Neo's have always been a racist group. I am disgusted by the actions that took place at Charlottesville, and in no way would I advocate that. Quit throwing me into a group I have no interest associating with. I am not a racist pig who sympathizes with KKK members for saying that every act of violence from any extremist group (KKK, BLM, Neo Nazis, ANTIFA, etc.) should be seen exactly the same. I want any group that commits acts of violence specifically against other people of position or race to be seen as a domestic terrorist organization. Every. Single. One.

Your answer is exactly what is the problem with this article: broad generalizations that only try to demonize the other side. I am a Conservative, that doesn't mean I'm a white supremacist who was okay with the car plowing through the innocent crowd.

All I want is for the Riots in Baltimore or Berkley to be treated like they were here in Charlottesville, as acts of violence. Is that a problem?
