Just a reminder - derogatory name calling, personal attacks, etc are not compliant with gokm forum's generous but civil TOS requirements.

Name calling is a form of online bullying. POTUS Trump is a bully - but the general mainstream media is no better.

Its during Obama the leftist hate groups in USA grew substantially. Did they grow in the shadows of him, or have they been supported, who knows.

We may be nearing a threshold soon when US society will wake up to this. This would have happened already if media was not infiltrated by them, but when Uncle Johns pineapple farm is threatened by the antifa, blm and angry lesbian feminists, then things will likely take a turn. We are getting there soon maybe.

The white western hetero males who feel guilty by who they are born as, may have to rush with their confessions.

Trolling

@Peter: Do you necessarily equate leftists with hate groups? Seems to me both the terms 'leftist' and 'hate group' are a bit ambiguous. Governments, however, actively promote hatred among the citizens they rule for the enemies they pick, with the interests of the citizens of the enemy rulers, in their millions, generally ignored or covered by statements about how they are going to free them or save them or whatever.

At best, perhaps, this leads to ridicule - note the North Korean Foreign Minister's speeches and Trump's speeches at the UN, which, I would like to think (but unfortunately can't believe), most of us see as examples of the nasty absurdity of it all. Which, of course, does not mean that a large number of people may well die.

@Peter: And what do you mean by the media being infiltrated by leftist hate groups - which ones have infiltrated the media, and how have they managed to do this? They tend not to have a lot of money or money backing.

Peter, like Liu, is a troll. They have no sincere interest or capability for any rational conversation about this issue. They love Trump because Trump bashes the left. That's it. No intelligent ideas, just hateful bashing. Try looking on the web, from any source, for any rational thought in support of Trump and you'll come up with virtually nothing. Like most Trump supporters, they are just bitter, lonely, paranoid xenophobes desperate for attention. Imagine the Chinese, who apparently kicked Peter out of their country, reading his complaints of loser foreigners coming to his country. How ironic.

@Stratocaster: Not sure that most Trump supporters are bitter, lonely, paranoid xenophobes desperate for attention. Wish it were that simple. Anyway, that would neither validate nor invalidate anything they say, and there would still be the question of WHY they would be that way.

I like you Alien, not because I always agree with you, but because it's easy to reason with you. You are rational. When I wrote "lonely", I was thinking of poor Peter. He sounds lonely, like a man desperate to get laid. I hope I'm wrong about that. You Alien are right, though. Probably many, if not most, are not lonely. My bad there. But the bitterness, paranoia and xenophobia is there.

Guess what Trumpsters, I'm a white, middle-aged, hetero, family man like many of you. I get irritated by some BLM, feminist, LGBT and other people on the left. I feel no guilt, no sense of privilege for being a white guy. I don't like communists and authoritarian socialists. I really don't like religion and Islam especially so. But I am not afraid of such people, and neither should you be.

...and I think that the reasons for the mindset of

any category or group of people is a subject in itself and needs to be understood. After all, if the problem were only 'this guy Trump', it wouldn't be much of a problem.
