    Than they’ll accuse him of killing a US citizen, without trial. You need to think if this through the eyes of TDS because no matter what ,Trump is guilty!

      That doesn't cut it pix.

With groups like that, anything less than complete condemnation of them allows them to believe you are 'really' on their side. Trump has - in act after act - let dictators, despots, and groups like the white supremacists and neo nazi's feel emboldened to do what they do and express their hate more openly across the world. It is what it is, and Trump not forcefully condemning such things and tempering his behavior as a response to understanding how his actions have 'green lighted' them is a big part of the problem.

        I see TDS has rotted your brain because same things were said about:

        Both Bushes, McCain, and Romney.

        Are they all Nazi’s too?

          What legitimate reason is there for bringing the Bushes, McCain and Romney into this discussion?

              Easy, your post can be changed to any of those names and fit right in with liberal smears.

                But instead of repudiating the literal nazis that are in Trumps camp (I've met them IRL) you guys prefer to find a bunch of photos of democrats freeze framed during speeches and its still not a proper sieg heil.

                Pathetic, each and every one of you.
                Have you ever watched someone's hand come down from waving? The arm is often rigid with fingers pointed. I mean take a good look at some of the pictures of your heroes with their arms out straight, fingers pointed that were posted here

                  It's like they use the exact same rhetoric but just fill in the blank for the name. Then again, this IS exactly what happened in several instances right after Trump nominated Kavanaugh.

                    And you’ll note that the media was more than willing to heap praise on Bush, McCain, and Romney when they clapped, like trained seals, to when they were critical of Trump (and politically irrelevant). Which exposes it all as a lie because why praise those you declared as Nazi’s and racist, years before?

                      No, they can't pix. That is the point of my question, to have you back up the assertion. Without back up, you are basically saying "no, I don't have a legitimate reason to bring them into the discussion."

                        Yeah they can and they were. Do you need documented proof that liberals have smeared every republican candidate/president as being a racist and Nazi, for decades?

                          The question isn't the amount but the percentage. There's no reason to be innumerate here.

                          The distinction between the Obama campaign is one of degree: civil infractions with varying amounts of money raised and fined. The distinction between those campaigns and Trump's is one of kind: civil infractions vs. criminal violations. Failure to report vs. conspiracy to quash negative news stories just before an election.

                              Only because the media tells you that Jim. Even The Atlantic admitted that much in 2016:

                              To which some American conservatives wearily reply: Oh, you don’t say? Jaundiced after hearing past GOP candidates described in similarly extreme terms, some conservatives feel that Democrats and liberal pundits have cried wolf, describing past Republicans with such elevated levels of alarm that warnings about Trump don’t elicit the same urgency.

                              Dangerously ignorant about policy and incurious about the world? That was the line on George W. Bush 16 years ago. Radical, unacceptable views about women? Said of any number of Republicans. Overrated business career? Just ask Mitt Romney about that one. (Not only was Romney’s success credited to his father’s connection, The New York Times reported,“Mr. Romney, though, never ran a corner store or a traditional business. Instead, he excelled as a deal maker,” which sounds eerily familiar.) A temperament unsuited for the Oval Office? Some said the same thing about John McCain. Fascism? Two videos uploaded by users to a MoveOn contest likened Bush to Adolph Hitler in 2004.* Extreme positions? “He’s the most conservative nominee that they’ve had going back to Goldwater,” top Obama aide David Plouffe said of Romney in 2012.

                              Democrats have been calling republicans racist, sexist, homophobic, etc, for years. Nobody is listening anymore.

                                We (at least I am) are talking about White nationalists and neo-Nazis being accepted and finding in the person something they admire - to the point they can adopt the Nazi salute. Changing that into 'liberals are attacking them as being 'racist, sexist, homophobic, etc') will not fly as 'equivalent'.
