And if you don't see the left doing the exact same thing I don't know what to tell you. Bernie Sanders telling everyone the system is rigged and rich people are holding everyone down, leftist groups blaming white men for everything going wrong in the world... partisan blindness really is something.

It's especially the white man blaming which has made me a conservative. So congratulations to the left for driving people like me away. It's funny to me that they talk so much about inclusion and what not, but then when it comes to certain groups of people, they do a 180 and allow themselves to be completely polarizing...
Because me, a white autistic kid who grew up with a mentally ill mom on welfare, living in one of the poorest areas of my country, is alot more priviledged than a black kid growing up in a 10$ million dollar mansion, with a strong and supportive family... obviously
I was raised in a working class household, and today I'm a starving artist type without a pot to p*ss in... oh, and I'm white. But never, ever, have I been made to feel that I'm responsible for the suffering of others due to the accident of my birth and skin color.

Real nice of you to wrap up the 63 million people who voted for Trump with blanket statements and stereotypes.
It's funny how people get so blinded with partisan politics that they can't see how similar they really are to the people they're fighting against.
Then give me reasons specifically why I'm wrong, please.
Do I really have to explain to you that there's going to be a radical differences in a group of 63 million people or more? You've been alive for over a half century and you want me to explain why 63 million people are not going to fit perfectly into your condescending stereotypes? Come on dude.

Haha, it's far more that the left are the ones that want someone else's stuff for free.
I could be cruel, and simply state about your post: my point has just been proven.
Has it?
The left are usually the ones who want free stuff, the right are the ones who don't want it given away. Try reading and notice how I say phrases like "generally" or "usually", not putting everyone into the same bracket like you do. It's usually the left wing blaming the rich "white people" for all their problems. Sure, you get a lot of idiots who blame their problems on immigrants too, but a lot actually blame immigration and the people who carried out those policies. You'll never learn all this if you're just glued to CNN.

They have power that minorities, poor people, and immigrants simply do not have. That those rich people are white is incidental.

Right. And anyone sensible talking about these issues doesn't blame immigrants, they blame immigration. So blame the people who made the policies.
