> many terrorists involved in incidents are natural born citizens of allied countries. Stated differently, the majority are made up of muslims that have been in the western world for more than one generation and have still not assimilated. If feel that you're making a stronger case for limiting muslim immigration. > this is going to alienate moderate Muslims who Western intelligence agencies have unanimously and categorically stated are the only people capable of solving this problem of radicalization. Would it not be wise for the west to wait until moderate muslims get their house in order before opening their borders? All that being said, I don't support a unilateral ban on muslims, I think it's stupid. What I think is even more stupid though is how the left is trying to compare Trump to Hitler. Especially considering that we wants to give greater access to the press of diverging viewpoints and is building a larger building to accommodate those people, while Obama only gave media access to outlets that presented him in favorable light and severely limited access to the only conservative news station (FOX). He wants the average citizen to have greater access to firearms which is our final defense against a tyrannical government, while the left have been fighting to take away peoples 2nd amendments rights. He wants to de-regulated the economy by quote "75%", while the left want to take greater and greater control. I'm not saying that leftists are like Hitler, because I don't resort to school yard name calling, but saying that Trump is like Hitler is just the left going absolutely bonkers when it comes to losing the election, and seeing public opinion shifting away from the politically correct non-sense that's been pluaging public discourse. I use to be a leftist, but I hate what the left have become, I don't even know what they stand for anymore, and behavior like this just pushes me further and further away.

>What I think is even more stupid though is how the left is trying to compare Trump to Hitler Right, you're going to get those comparisons if you praise China for the Tiananmen Square massacre, praise dictators like Kim Jong Un and Putin, suggest a national registry for everyone of a particular religion, suggest banning people from entering based on their religion(which is what he initially said, before tracking back after criticism), develop a culture of anti-intellectualism, frequently boast about IQ and genes, and deny statements you made when there is undeniable proof that you made them. Let's not forget the only major politician to bring up Nazi comparisons- Trump, when he compared US intelligence to Nazi Germany. >we wants to give greater access to the press of diverging viewpoints The only new "news" outlet he wants to give access to is breitbart, a site which has had headlines like "Would you rather your daughter have Cancer or Feminism" and "Gay rights have made us dumber, it's time to get back in the close". These are not diverging viewpoints. These are the only piles of rubbish that actually support Trump, which is why he is more comfortable with them than the New York Times. What left leaning news outlet has he given more precedence to? > He wants the average citizen to have greater access to firearms which is our final defense against a tyrannical government, while the left have been fighting to take away peoples 2nd amendments rights I'm not sure how background checks take away the right to own guns, nobody on any side can take away the people's right to own guns without a judiciary decision. The only way a politician can take away the guns of citizens is by pushing forward something unconstitutional like Stop and Frisk, which Trump supports. In the age of nuclear weapons, guns are not useful in overthrowing a tyrannical government. Nothing is, but what comes closest are modes of unsupervised communication to organise people. Of course, Trump is a supporter of mass surveillance. >He wants to de-regulated the economy by quote "75%" I'm not sure what you mean, but the biggest problem with the economy today is the unparalleled levels of inequality. Trump of course wants to drastically cut taxes for the rich. It's understandable to dislike Obama or Clinton. I don't like a lot of their policies either. But Trump carries over everything that is bad about them and adds a whole lot more. He is not a reasonable alternative.

  > you're going to get those comparisons Comparisons are one thing. There are a lot of leftists who truly believe that he's a Hitler figure, and as I've shown in my last comment, that's hardly the case. > The only new "news" outlet he wants to give access to is Breitbart [Citation Needed] It's clear that it's more than just that one outlet, which is a great reversal from the policy of the last 8 years. > I'm not sure how background checks [etc] Don't be coy. The left have been clamping down on guns for years, and many of them would like them to be outright banned. Hillary Clinton wanted to make gun manufacturers liable for anything that happens when using their guns, essentially destroying the civilian gun industry. The candidates also fought over which candidate was most hated by the NRA. > the biggest problem with the economy today is the unparalleled levels of inequality I love that the left like to accuse everyone else of being unscientific, but that they've become the greatest deniers of all. But even if it were true, what's the left's proposal? That we give all that money and power over to the government, the same one that they complain (rightfully so) is in an unholy alliance with corporations and special interests? What do you think the incentives are for those people in power are? > In the age of nuclear weapons, guns are not useful in overthrowing a tyrannical government. Hopefully gun owners will be willing to depose of a government before it gets to the point where they've become so evil that they're willing to nuke their own people.
