    Democrats don't hide the fact that they are not voting for Biden but are voting against Trump. Biden campaign events go largely unattended while people line the streets to get a glimpse of Trump attending some unrelated event. I can't think of any candidate for president in the history of America who won by saying vote for me because I'm not the other guy. Bottom line is I just don't see how hate which has been manufactured by the DNC and their media can break historical precedent.
    If I'm wrong and hate does run America God help us.

    Isn't the President and his campaign running on hate too?

    Hate personified is running on the Republican ticket.

    Are you kidding?

    Without hate, Trump would still be cheating sub-contractors from his tower on 5th Ave.

    Trump has policies and a record and an enthusiastic base that supports him. Biden has voters that hate Trump and would vote for Manson over him.

    Can hate win an election?
    Trump won our election & became President by running a campaign based on hatred, anger, fear & racism. All those are destructive energies, & Trump's term in office has proven to be America's worst since the Civil War. I strongly hope the American voter doesn't repeat the mistake in 2020. I'm not sure our nation will survive another four years of such negativity & polarization. We need to heal. Biden is a far better choice because he thinks positively & works toward healing & reuniting our divided country.

    Hate worked for Trump 4 years ago, and he is doubling down on the hatred again this election. So yeah, why not give it a try if your the Dems.

    Yeah. The very idea of making your nation great, of creating jobs, strengthening our economy, improving trade and crap like that is just hateful. At least, to those who think America needs to become a third world country where everyone lives in equal poverty under a government that makes all your decisions for you. They think those ideas are hateful.

    So his voters are burning down buildings and beating people up in Portland . . . because . . . they want to "Return to Sanity"?

    That is an interesting tactic.

    I notice how you, for some reason, capitalized words in the phrase "Return to Sanity," as if to mean something else than what those words would traditionally mean uncapitalized.

    Trump has voters who shoot at police stations, break windows to spark looting and plot to murder State Governors

    Trump won an election based on policies and putting America first for a change. He won on a pro America platform. Only a leftist sees hate there.

    Can you cite sources and show videos of Trump voters doing this?

    If you can, is the unrest from Trump voters the same as the left? Is it greater or less?

    If it is on a greater scale, doesn't that go against your premise that your side wants to return to sanity?

    The Great Depression was caused by conservative political policies under Republican Calvin Coolidge. The Great Recession of 2008, was caused by runaway free enterprise under Republican G.W. Bush. In both cases, the recoveries were under Democratic Presidents. It makes no sense to me why American voters are so incapable of recognizing the superiority of Democrats over Republicans regarding the economy. When Obama took office in January 2009, over 750,000 Americans were losing their jobs every month. Obama inherited an economic disaster, & turned it completely around to a healthy economy by 2016. Trump inherited that healthy economy & left it in shambles by the end of his first four years. So much for Republican conservative capitalism. I welcome the insights & positive forces inherent in some Socialist ideas. American needs them right now.

    Thank you for not answering my questions.

    So . .. the left burns down buildings after looting from them, beats people up, murders people, takes over blocks of a city . . . to return to sanity?

    Yeah.

    You don't have me quite sold on that argument, but keep trying.

    Trump won because of the anti-Hillary vote. You can hang Trump out with the victim card, but the dude isn't that special. JFK won because of the anti-Nixon vote.

    If you see "make America Great again" as hate speech, your the one with the issue not Trump.
