    No, the President is regularly accused of engaging in racist rhetoric, even if it requires twisting his words, taking them out of context, or flat out ignoring him when he explicitly condemns racist rhetoric.

Pushing back against racist and hateful rhetoric may indeed result in heightened divisions in this country, but the CAUSE is he that issued the racist comments in the first place, followed by his frenzied followers that simply will not face the fact that is the sort of person they have allied themselves with, or who actually support his racist and hateful words but want to call them something other than racist because of the obvious negative repercussions.

      This web site is a very good example. The truth here is often valued only if it supports an agenda. When the truth, even say basic facts concerning global warming, is uncomfortable, then those posts are mocked or dismissed without any regard for the data presented, or any coherent arguments presenting an alternate.

      The truth is that Donald Trump incites hatred. The Truth is Donald Trump is a bully - as he has shown in his attacks on Sessions, Cummings, 'the squad' and scores of not hundreds of others in the last two years. The truth is DT uses racist references and inuendo in his speeches and his tweets. But the truth is not valued by many here on that count and post after post is devoted to the mockery or denial of the truth in these matters.

        How's this for wacky liberal conspiracy theories? MSNBC has a regular contributor, Frank Figliuzzi, the former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence, who is suggesting that Trump flying the flags at half-mast is a nod to Hitler....



        It should start at the right place but if not, go to 2:48 or click here:

          I don't think anything that Trump has said incites hatred except for those people who already have hatred toward people, including hatred toward Republicans. The Dems lost the presidency and have nothing but hatred. There is no real excuse to project this upon Trump. The Dems are either fragile people or are willfully promulgating racism and promoting division.

          Are you actually saying "sure the Dems are promoting racism and division but this is excusable behavior on their part?"

            How do you argue with complete and total madness? A former FBI assistant director no less!

                I think Michael Gerson has some very important points to share ragarding the points you make here:

                Trump’s continued offenses mean that a large portion of his political base is energized by racist tropes and the language of white grievance. And it means — whatever their intent — that those who play down, or excuse, or try to walk past these offenses are enablers.

                Some political choices are not just stupid or crude. They represent the return of our country’s cruelest, most dangerous passion. Such racism indicts Trump. Treating racism as a typical or minor matter indicts us. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...06e_story.html
                "Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

                  So what do we do about the Dems escalation of the word 'racism' to describe every viewpoint that they don't like? This is very dangerous and seems to push us toward revolution. The idea of revolution is largely a communist concept in order to open up the nation to a communist dictatorship. The Dems are apparently focused on gaining power rather than helping people. If the Dems stop their cliched rhetoric, then maybe their own doctrine can be discussed again in open debates.

                              I don't understand what kind of laws they have in that town. If they did this in my town after 10pm they would be arrested for breach of peace.

                                Local law enforcement across the country is being conditioned to turn a blind eye when liberals protest.
