Trumpster arrested as the MAGAbomber

Did you independently fact check them?

I think you boys know what I meant, but I'll spell it out: over the years I've prided myself on being a student of history (which I have a BA in), as well as an observer of current affairs. No, I don't claim to be a human lie detector - I've been scammed by unethical people my whole life. But if someone says something idiotic like, the Honduran caravan is an invasion force filled with MS13 gang members and Arab terrorists, or that because the KKK had been formed by southern Democrats following the Civil War it must be a liberal organization, I will unequivocally call BS.

No I mistook what you meant, which is associated with autism.

Both those examples seem more like a belief than a lie

Trump knows that caravan is full of desperate refugees, but he wants to play up to his base which he thinks consists mainly of Alt Right white nationalists. That's what he thinks you are.

The Trump cultists will say the arrest is a liberal hoax, because that fits their belief system and they seem trapped inside it.

I despair for the USA in a very serious way now. The cult members routinely think what Trump tells and wants them to, believe whatever he wants them to believe, do what he wants them to do, behave as he wants them to behave, say what he wants them to say, hate who he tells them to hate, deny what he tells them to deny. He is their cult leader, their guru who can say and do no wrong, and he has worked diligently to establish this mindset by manipulation of their emotions and limited critical faculties. The one time that Trump wasn't lying was when he said that he loves the uneducated, though it is a limited love, one based on the fact that they believe anything he says and act on the divisions he strives to whip up. As people, I think he has nothing but contempt for their gullibity, because I believe he merely uses them as puppets and has no genuine regard for them as people.

It's all about Trump and his ambitions to dominate, and it always has been. Trump has clear and obvious psychopathic features that his followers are either unable to see or wilfully blind toward.

He manifests more psychopathic features at this emergent demagogue stage than Hitler did at the same stage. That should warn people capable of seeing the big picture. Unfortunately his devoted base can't see it, are not capable of seeing it, and are unwitting pawns in a terrible game that is not a harmless game of political chess.

I despair for you all.

The kind of people you're describing wouldn't want the refugees piling in here regardless of who else is with them.

When did he say he thinks his base consists mainly of Alt Right white nationalists?

It sounds like you're just making stuff up, or believing what others have made up.

What percentage of the 53 million people who voted for Trump, consisted of Alt Right white nationalists?

As we are a nation of immigrants who considers altruism to be a virtue, we do have a responsibility to help immigrants fleeing from danger.
Of course most Trump supporters aren't Alt Right. But Trump has always appealed to the extreme to the point of exaggerating their numbers. That's why when running for office he had quoted racist sites that claimed most white murder victims are killed by blacks (they're not), or why he had lifted an Antisemitic internet meme of a greedy, compromised Hilary Clinton alongside a Jewish Star of David (no, it wasn't a marshal's badge).

I disagree. I think a majority of Americans have national pride and don't like dealing with foreigners. That includes black americans and even believe it or not Hispanic ones as well.

Just as northerners and the west coast looks down on southerners as redneck hicks, people from some Spanish speaking countries feel the same way about other Spanish speaking countries.

Nobody was happy about the Irish pouring in to get away from the potato famine either. They were utterly despised by both white and black americans.

Bill Clinton was very pro immigration control and had strong words about fortifying our southern boarder.

I don't think this open arms idealism truly exists within the majority of humanity, even if they profess otherwise.

As for the other stuff you're talking about, I have to see it or hear in from the source in full context, before I can make a determination.

fwiw I personally couldn't care less who moves in. I'm used to a multiracial environment and even a multiracial family.
