    I think they wear masks so they don't sunburn as quickly.

    Do you support or condone efforts made by Conservative government officials to gut all social support programs? Environmental regulations?

    How about big business efforts of offshoring and using immoral (but not illegal) business practices? Many conservatives do.

    If so, you may become my enemy one day. Depends on when it starts affecting me and mine directly.

    Luckily, physical violence will still be the last resort, after all other political methods have failed.

    But if I ever become poor and homeless, I REFUSE to roll over and die because conservatives don't want to help me. And if that means I have to steal and/or kill to defend myself or my family, so be it.

    Thats one thing the left ignores-Trumps criticisms are valid and warranted.

    Ah yes, the “when did you stop beating your wife?” liberal approach.

    Or maybe you could just get a job and support yourself and your family like most Americans do...

    To be fair, I don't blame all Republicans for the immoral things their leaders do. But them cutting assistance programs will likely affect my family directly. It's why I will be voting straight Democrat this November.

    And before you bring up how scummy Democrats are, don't bother. Both sides are equally scummy, IMO. It's just a matter of what each side can do for me and mine, and Democrats do better.

    Sorry, but I do have a job, and do all right for myself. But that doesn't mean I won't act to preserve my quality of life from being gutted by big businesses and Conservative values.

    And I am not so naive to believe that I have 100% control over everything that can affect my life.

    So long as others can affect me with their decisions of self-interest, then I will do the same, and vote accordingly.

    I act to preserve my quality of life from being destroyed by Big Government and Leftist values, and there's reason to apologize for having a job and doing all right for yourself.

    Having been poor I know from experience that the government can't lift you out of poverty and neither will killing and stealing.

    Of course, you're going to vote in your own self-interest, and of course that affects other people...

    Fair enough.

    Again, fair enough. What YOU do does have a great impact on your job performance. I would never deny that.

    Now, can you admit that at times, there may be things that happen to you to worsen your job condition that are out of your control?

    Why should someone be punished for something they don't have control over?

    So, is that it then? The two sides will never agree or compromise, so there is no reason to even be civil with them? You know where that will lead, right?

    There are those who produce, and those who take/beg. You have made clear that you are in the latter category.

    I didn’t recite the Anthem in high school. Do I hate America for it? No, and you guys need to let go of that talking point cause you’re embarrassing yourselves. Your blatant attack on the first amendment in which these football players are constitutionally protected has been noted by the entire nation by you and Trump trying to turn it into an unpatriotic issue turning the NFL into a dictator. I guess we know what party supports dictators these days.

    Spell Fascist right damn it, we've been over this plenty of times. And no, it is not fascist just because there's a crowd of Trump supporters. Or were Obama rallies(much larger than Trump's) fascist as well?

    You are entitled to your opinion. However, you are wrong.

    I have a job. I pay taxes, plenty of them considering I am a single Male. I do what i can to be responsible for myself and don't currently use government assistance.

    However, I don't begrudge those that do, as I believe, IMO, that a majority of them are not abusing the system.

    I consider myself fighting to keep what I have as far as my quality of life. Take that for what you will.

    It sounds like you agree with Trump's platform.

    Last I heard, conservative government officials want to gut all social assistance programs, as well as things like the EPA. Doesn't sound very good to me.

    Sadly, one of the few things I can agree with Conservatives right now is the border and immigration situation. In most other things I've seen, Conservatives views end up being worse for me than Liberal ones.

    DEMOCRACY DIES IN BIKER BARS: Trump Posed With ‘Sexist’ Motorcyclist Patch Wearing Biker, and the Washington Post is on it.

    The Washington Post published an article on Monday complaining that President Trump posed next to a biker wearing a “sexist” patch on his vest.

    Trump met with supporters in the “Bikers For Trump” group over the weekend and posed for photos with some of the group’s members at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.

    The bikers typically wear vests with dozens of various patches on them, and the Washington Post zoomed in on the photos of the bikers with the president to see what the patches said.

    One of the patches seemed to ruffle the feathers of one reporter, who called it “sexist.” The patch in question features an image of a topless woman with guns covering her breasts and the caption, “I [heart] guns and titties.”​

    Ah, you must be very young and therefore naive to the reality. I’m a millennial myself, so it’s weird to call you too young but it is what it is.

    You're never going to learn any of that if you aren't interested enough to bother to be informed.

    In fact, you can learn all of these things if you pay attention, and read a couple of newpapers and watch articles in magazine and sites that do practice real journalism.

    If you think you're going to learn any of that from watching cable TV news, listening to talk radio and reading headlines in dubious blogs, you're mistaken.

    You may come to the belief you have, but you won't know anything about who any of these people are.

    You may not care enough to be bothered, and prefer to insulate yourself by clinging to this "secret elite" idea as an excuse for not particpating. In fact, that is a common refrain from people who don't vote. They choose not to be informed, using this idea as an excuse.

    If you want television journalism to be more balanced and professional, reinstate the fairness doctrine and take the money out of television news.

    The slide started in the 1970's, when ABC, followed by the other networks, decided to make news a profit center rather than the loss leader it had always been.

    And old line print journalists were replaced on the air by people who came up doing lightweight trash on local TV news.

    And it declined when entertaining and retaining the audience became more important than informing them.

    Paddy Cheyefsky predicted it. He only got one thing wrong.

    Howard Beale isn't a network news anchor. He's the President of the United States.

    I have no use for Antifa, or more accurately, people who wear masks and ninja costumes.

    Of course, you know nothing about them, so your sterotypes substitute for knowledge.

    But the people you claim that in this particular case "the people without masks have nothing to hide", you'd be clearly wrong.

    Because nobody runs away from public scrutiny or cameras like white supremacists. They're all brave if they have a club and can get lost in a crowd. But they cower in fear and lie when the lights go on.

    Here is an hour of them demonstrating that they have "nothing to hide" and proudly sign their names to their public bigotry.

    Trump has really inspired me to root out fake news throughout the media. I’ve noticed subtle examples of it in CNN, FOX, and then much more open examples in Breitbart, Huffington Post, Vice, and so on.

    It’s happening throughout the media, in my opinion due to the average person’s penchant for biased news. We want to hear news that validates our own beliefs, and every media outlet is catering to that.

    Tell you what.

    If you can provide sources from a reputable, non-biased source that shows that 51% of ALL of the people that receive government assistance in this country abuse it, I will consider changing my opinion. Until then...

    They could be, if they are the ones physically assaulting me or my family. I already gave my criteria in my previous post.

    Or did you think I would just let someone hurt me simply because they are an American citizen?
