    You say "white nationalists" but you are aware how minuscule their numbers are right? These mid-terms alone say a lot.

    in a country that is divided 50\50, white nationalists are enough to push the party over the edge

    but the information in that post was fake news, so not sure where it would of came from other then a white nationalists site, cause Obama did not hate whites or Christians

    We're divided over a few key issues.

    1) A significant plural number of Americans do not want the health care diktat. While health care is important and essential, so are other essential financial bills. We'd like the right to be able to pay for what we want, when we want and in a financially prudent manner for our individual situations. Just because a Washington lobbyist can afford something, doesn't mean little peon US citizen can.

    2) The Act of 1965 was a blow to the federal government, as well as to the nation's security. It was followed up with not following through on the Compromise of 1985. These consecutive acts in 20 years, led to the situation today and for those who brushed up on history, we've taken a hard stance: NO. We already tried compromise in 1985, it didn't get us anywhere.

    Now we need to insist on basic principles: Citizens are people who pay taxes and lay roots here, and I don't mean the first nanosecond their toe touched US Soil lol. The same is true of a German migrant, as of an Indonesian migrant, as of a Chinese migrant or a Honduras migrant. Legal immigration only, no to illegal immigration and finally close the damn loophole.

    I'd push to make English the national language of the US, but Dems will never go for that.

    I want English to be the world religion.. but would be happy with just making it the USA's national language... I am a dem

    Obama wanted a public option, let the public decide what they want, pubic or private health insurance

    you want to reverse the voters rights act?

    birthright citizenship is in the constitution, you want to change it, there is a process for that, good luck with that

    I wasn't referring to the Civil Rights act. No, I was referring to the Immigration Act of 1965, largely seen as responsible for weakening powers to regulate immigration(IMO, illegally but it's never been challenged to the SCOTUS). The premise on the Act, which wasn't largely supported was the idea that "it wouldn't change the demographics that much" but as you can see, it very much did so.

    To me, the Immigration Act of 1965 led to Trump. It led to everything else.

    And some argue it's in the "constitution" and others like myself see it as a gross misreading of the 14th Amendment. The President was right to bring it up, because it's a huge thorn for Nationalists. It simply betrays the US Proper(which includes both Repubs/liberals)

    The young left liberal democrats are drunk on the offer of free things, education, medical care,phones, housing, jobs. All are admirable things except someone has to pay for them. The wealthy 1-5% only have so much money, and they have the ability to play the system. At some point the democratic promises will be shown to be false and there will be hell to pay. Trump is just the beginning of the backlash.

    that's interesting...
    the '65 act caused mass migrations (18 million iirc)
    then there was the 1990 immigration act, which increased immigration by another 40%...

    anywho, these were/are just 'acts' of congress, and nothing to do with our constitution... ergo, we can 'enact' a new policy to reverse it, stop it in it's tracks... without bringing the constitution into it...

    We can say the same thing about the Democrats and pure UHC. Yeah, tldr: Both parties are ************ while writing laws that screw us. And they convince us to fight each other, under the name of following some ideological footprint they'll never actually commit to.

    So for example: The pragmatic of politics will make it so that the number of 'investigations' will drop in half, and then if Trump's squeaky clean through those, the Republicans will have a strong message for 2020: We gave them two years, didn't change much.

    Let me help.
    It's not mocking whites to say it's OK to not be white.

    It's not mocking Christians to say it's OK to not be Christians.
    It's not mocking Males to say it's OK to not be Males.
    It's not mocking Heterosexuals to say it's OK to not be Heterosexuals.
    It's not mocking Gun owners to say it's OK to not be a Gun owner.
    It's called being inclusive because it's also OK to be everything on your list too.

    As to the final two, Obama, unlike Trump apparently, pays taxes and is a businessman (sells books and one would assume lectures).

    Exactly, I think POTUS Trump should bring out the veto pen(He hasn't vetoed a single bill since becoming President.)

    Maybe all the millionaire Hollywood celebrities and the ultra rich corporate billionaires who supported the DNC so much should pay a supplemental fee for all the things they support.

    You"ve just gone beyond pathetic.Outspent Cruz by a wide margin,24/7 backing by almost all MSM outlets, in some cases actively campaigning for him and yet he lost.Beto is just another loser.After the Superbowl finall only the winners are remembered.By the way, a poor result for the Democrats considering that they outspent the Republicans by almost 400 million dollars.

    If the MSM were even close to being neutral, I doubt the Dems would every be in the majority again unless they made a drastic change.

    No blue wave:

    1) The Dems gained 28 seats in the House. That’s normally 32 for the party out of the presidency. Not even an “average” night.

    2) The Dems lost several seats in the Senate.
