Facebook don't have a clue how evil he is or what a threat he is.
If we don't at least take back the House and start some real investigations we will become a fascist state.
Here we are playing 40 words and wypipo and other dividing games.
POC we ain't the enemy! That's him!
Let's get together and defeat trump not each other!

You all have got to fight back, get the voters out this November and ensure Democrats get elected to the House and Senate.

(5,704 posts)It is something to consider. Getting a job here is difficult but sometimes, one can luck out. When I came to BC, I am not kidding you, I sent out over 100 applications, seldom got called for an interview. When I did get an interview, they already had their quota of colored people. It was an eye opening experience for me. I always thought the best qualified got an interview, never thought that the color of your skin was a criteria.

(5,704 posts)Now that Mr. Justin Trudeau is our Prime Minister, the challenges of migrating to Canada is not that bad. After all, our PM took in 25,000 refugees from Syria. It does not hurt to apply to come to Canada, you never know what your chances are. Go for it, is my suggestion.

(5,704 posts)he governs by bleeps. What a let down! I don't wish him bad as then he will be a martyr by his supporters. I wish he just effing step down, but his VP is much worst. Who would have thought that America could be so divided, one faction for peace and the other a war mongerer!

(13,468 posts)After Obama was elected, most of my high school class publicly transformed from average Americans posting grand baby pics to flaming white supremacists. I could not deal with the fights that would leave me shaking in rage and them probably just thinking they got that libtard.

(5,914 posts)I dropped my Facebook account years ago, so I have been blissfully ignorant of Obama's FEMA camps, Pizzagate, and every other piece of crazy flying monkey nonsense that spreads like gonorrhea on that site.
Private message your REAL Facebook friends and give them your e-mail address. Then delete your account. If you never hear from them again, they were never your friends to begin with. And that right there is priceless knowledge.

(58,785 posts)poor conservative POC bigots who're rejected by the rest of their sort in Trump's party. Even bigots need to belong, or especially.
Reminds me of when Charles Krauthammer, writing about what the Republican Party should do to draw in black conservatives, said they should do nothing, that America already has the Democratic Party.

(17,463 posts)problem is. Ask them if they are joking.
Don't "deal" with Trump supporters. There is no dealing to be done with them.
My extended family is full of Trump supporters. And they are cowards. They have said things to me in chain emails that they would not have the courage to do face to face.
I almost came to blows one time with a Trump supporter in a car dealership service waiting room because I called him on his loud mouthed shit.
Slap them the fuck down. This is no time to be "civil". I am not addressing you in particular...I don't know how you treat these people. But I always encourage others not to take any shit and to find your voice and be ready to protect yourself if it comes to that.
Seriously...most of these people are scum. I lurk on a few facebook pages of right wingers. These dumb fucks think it is their duty to express their warped political views ad nauseum on facebook for some reason. They are stupid, and they deserve whatever scorn they receive.
I am a white man, and I fucking hate racists, bigots, and hateful dumb fucks. I'll call them dumb shits right to their stupid faces and watch them squirm. Fuck those assholes. Never fear them.

(4,516 posts)I told this one guy he was afraid of brown people getting a head of him on the food chain. He said I had no right to criticize him. I said sure I did and posted his own words about how the people coming from Ellis Island did it right and got jobs and paid taxes and these in Texas are illegal and come here to take from us. I explained how they are asylum seekers not illegals to no avail.

What is it that makes so many people so damned dense that they can't see a blatant scam right in front of their nose?

(4,516 posts)This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itselfnameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.

(6,558 posts)Even though they are poor as church mice, they worship people who are millionaires and billionaires. tRump made himself visible on "The Apprentice" where he flaunted his wealth and power. It is the cult of money, pure and simple. My father was a laidback, kind, hard working man whose life was money centered. Not that Dad had money, but he almost worshiped tRump and people like tRump because they did. He never missed an episode of "The Apprentice", I mean NEVER. Even the poor, low income people can center their lives around money which is sad. At least this is my take on the flim flam artist tRump and his appeal.

(6,558 posts)After years of evangelical right wing abuse from my sister, I blocked her yesterday. For years I put up with her crap in order not to tear the family apart. The longer it went on the more vile she became. With tRump she fully "bloomed" and for my own health and well-being I blocked her so she could no longer use that forum for her hateful posts. The family members need to make their own way and decide if they are going to be ruled by hate or not. My life is more peaceful these days. Resist and Persist, no matter what! Carry on!
