    Attacking the person in politics is sometimes easier than showing what is wrong with their policies, but if you take that over the top as Trump has done here, it accomplishes the reverse. It cause people that would otherwise reject their position to rally behind them. And it causes all but your most loyal to walk away.

        No it isn't. Mean words are not in the same league as attempted murder and destruction of property. That you think so is pretty telling of your lack of objectivity.

          try not to keep reaching for excuses for Trump to the point you wander into fantasy. You are dangerously close here, if not over the line.

            Not making excuses. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the "squad" and their idiotic vote this morning in Congress to condemn Trump's tweet and their prior silence when asked about the firebomb attack. It's pathetic.

              In a democracy we don't tell people we don't agree with to leave the country. Trump is an authoritarian, not a believer in democracy, and whether or not he is a racist, he is definitely using racism to divide the country.

                Yeah, it's really sad Trump made the stupid tweet he made, because the people that needed to see their silence on the firebombing and understand what it means will never be able to see it now. Trump really helped them out of that potential mess.

                      So what? The point is, the statement is not inherently racist. It could be applied to just about anyone who hates America! Love it or leave it bro!

                          I've seen numerous articles on it. it is a significant problem - it would have been up there - had it not been eclipsed by Trump's tweets.

                            "Love it or leave it" does not make reference to countries of origin, though it still carries with it a bad historical stigma. "Go back where you came from" does, and historically as far back as the late 1700's is linked to anti-immigration sentiments. It's connection to racism became prominent in the 1950's and 60's with the debates over segregation and was applied to black people protesting segregation. It also became a rallying cry against people protesting the vietnam war in the mid to late 60's.

                            It has never meant anything good, and has almost always been used by bigots against people not like 'us'.

                            • OK, time for an aside....

                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                                Speaking out is democratic, not hatred of America. "Love it or leave it" are the words of an authoritarian, not a supporter of democracy. We can take Trumps words as racist and authoritarian because he has a history.
