President Trump will address the Values Voters Summit in Washington, DC on Friday, becoming the first president to address the gathering of white supremacists, far right activists and religious zealots.
Trump will share the stage with former Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson who has said he wants to rid the Earth of wicked gays. Also appearing will be Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has said he doesnt know whether or not gays and lesbians should be put to death and was recently removed as a state supreme court justice for instructing state employees to ignore the US Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality.
Also appearing will be House Minority Whip Steve Scalise who was recently wounded in a mass shooting in DC. Scalises life was saved by a lesbian police officer who shot and killed the attacker. Scalise has said the incident did not change his mind about gun control or LGBT rights. Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, touted Trumps appearance in a press release, saying, Last year, he spoke to the Values Voter Summit as a candidate this year, it will be as the 45th President of the United States. Today we have confirmation from the White House that President Donald Trump will speak to the VVS crowd this Friday morning.
Craigslist ads for anonymous hookups near the summits host hotel always go up dramatically while it is happening. Grindr is also suddenly full of headless torsos of masculine men looking for whites only near the hotel.

That Trump thinks that this gathering of wackos is his comfort zone is truly sad. Hes addicted to the adulation that hell receive. He fails to take into account that the values of these people express are antithetical to anything that the American republic is about.
Trump is for all intents and purposes a nihilist. He is not the only Republican that is a nihilist. Many names spring to mind
Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Scalise, Ron Johnson, Sam Johnson (my representative), Ted Cruz.... oh hell, maybe the entire house and most of the Republican Senate.
This is just one step short of going to a klan rally. It is amazing to me how far we have fallen and how fast.
But the truth is that this is been building up since the Nixon White House. Weve always had these amoral zealots out there that would probably sell their own grandmother for pocket money.These zealots definitely have always been racist, anti-immigrant, anti-poor.
I just never expected to see them running the entire country.

(3,283 posts)Just the fact that he's confirmed to speak for them now (whether or not he ends up making an appearance or some civic-minded staffer somehow manages to steer him away from it) legitimizes and normalizes this anti-LGBTQ, white supremacist, white nationalist group. They have already won a great victory, and if he doesn't show up, they can claim that the left-wing media and the terrible liberals threatened the president to stop him from showing up, and they're enemies of free speech, and it just proves how right they are, it's the (((globalists))) y'know!!!
It's gross. It's a massive misstep, but completely in step with Donald Trump's presidency so far. And the media keeps wringing their hands wondering just how all of those -actual nazis- feel emboldened enough to march in the streets and sling their slogans and wave real actual nazi flags. Well, this is why, you terrible people. The president that the media failed to cover appropriately is appearing in front of a white supremacist group, so no one has to wear a hood any more.
Excuse me, I'll be over here vomiting uncontrollably forever.

And those people are touted as "Values Voters"?
What sort of "values" are they promoting? Hate? Low IQ? Nuttiness? Low information?
Up is down, black is white, in is out, bad is good, thick is thin......the list is endless. I wouldn't trust one of them to tell me the correct time.

(11,686 posts)Where is that gay man who during the campaign supported trump gleefully without any doubt that trump was all for LGBTQ? He said people were wrong to even think for a moment that trump was anti-LGBTQ. I do not know if any of you remember him. I sure as hell do though I can not remember his name as I was to stunned to hear him a few different fully support trump. Do you think he is still supporting trump with the gleeful confidence from the campaign?

(11,686 posts)I do not think it is a conspiracy theory. It actually makes sense from how things worked out.

(100,108 posts)I mean they have the same mentality when you think about it. Lets think about this here:
1. Both groups gather in large numbers.
2. Both groups have weapons - and the Christians are far more likely to use them.
3. Both groups have certain brands they associate with.
4. Both groups have their own dress code.
5. Both groups have a "you're with us or you're against us" mentality.
