[citation needed]
Trump has already backtracked to more centrist positions (which was expected by those paying attention). And you can't ignore that the minority vote for Trump was higher than the previous Republican candidates.[1] Additionally, women played several key[2] roles in his campaign and an openly gay man got a standing ovation at the Republican Convention.
Anyways, you could say the very same thing about Hillary, but with actual evidence. Saudi Arabia, an undisputed theocratic regime that is not exactly known for treating minorities well (especially gays[3] & women[4]) and is funding ISIS[5], donated a large sum of money to the Clinton Foundation[6]. This is very out of line with democratic norms.
Oh, and the DNC shenanigans with Bernie Sanders and Hillary's cozy relationship with the mainstream media (i.e, getting debate questions in advance).
And let's not forget the anti-democratic Democrat protesters. Then there's the folks calling out for Trumps assassination and disturbing racist diatribes towards whites on Twitter. Not exactly democratic...
So tell me again who's aligned with fascists?

- JoeAltmaier 10y agoThe foundation operates health and educationprograms for single parents and children. Complaining about that is just dumb.

It probably had nothing to do with the $165 Billion Arms deal to Clinton Foundation donors: https://theintercept.com/2016/02/22/saudi-christmas-present/ https://theintercept.com/2016/02/22/saudi-christmas-present/ http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/05/hillary-clinton-foundation-state-arms-deals http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/05/hillary-clinton-...

- smnplk 10y agoAfter all you wrote, your disclosure does not compute with me. I think it's quite the opposite, only a crazy person would vote for greater evil. And there is not really any proof that Trump is evil.
