The dude kept a confederate flag on his desk, but keep going off about the Lügenpresse. The dude talked about how diversity would weaken us as a nation and lower quality of life. I don't know why you're bringing up Democrats, it's irrelevant to me. Sure, you're trying to deflect from the white supremacists in the Republican ranks, but you're going about it in the most smooth brained way. I can critique Republicans while not being a Democrat, but your tribalism is blinding you to that possibility.

I'm bringing up Democrats because it's important to understand how the Media shapes perspectives. Media doesn't give the two parties fair treatment, so what makes you think their denunciations of the Republicans are based in reality? Many of them are not. Many of the critiques of King and others are propaganda and lies. Many of the supposed "white supremacists" in the Republican ranks have just been branded that in order to discredit them for political purposes. Trump is a great example. It's often repeated he is a "white supremacist" or racist against various groups, but there's not really good evidence of that and actually much evidence to the contrary.

  > Media doesn't give the two parties fair treatment, so what makes you think their denunciations of the Republicans are based in realities How are you just throwing out all the right-wing media? There's more than huffpo and wapo. On the right, you've got your Sinclair media groups, you've got your Fox news, all the media listed in this article were discussing, Breitbart, the daily stormer, the hill, and so on. There's a very large media base in the US for right-wing news, but, again, your aggrieved narrative glosses over the fact. > Many of the critiques of King and others are propaganda and lies. Except for those things that I mentioned that you're not going to touch with a ten foot poll.
