You realize that's a red herring, right? Nobody in this thread has even started arguing for whatever it is you seem to try to disprove or demonstrate. The discussion as I read it was really about two other things: 1. for what reason beyond a vague fear a Trump government would be so much worse than surviving e.g. G.W. Bush with a proven track record lasting eight years of lethal insanity (as if it's a feature of US politics). And 2. if it's reasonable to distance oneself from "alt-right" so vocally and publicly, considering it's a complex phenomenon, looking beyond the more vocal lowest common denominator, involving quite a few people who support just parts of the ideas floated by Trump and find the occasional bold in-your-face cheap lying (or confusing stories) refreshing compared to the more refined, but constant version: that nothing being said was ever close to any truth any more!Dan Rowden wrote:Sorry I lie - one last post showing Trump's utter disregard for reality and his quite apparent inability to parse anything other than through the filter of his own insane emotional nexus
One of the many examples for that last point would be the people from antiwar.com, who are promoting non-interventionism and although driven by libertarian and some "old-right" intellectuals (and stemming from the Randolph Bourne Institute) they really try to involve the left and independents as well since their focus is mostly foreign policy related. And lets face it, there's hardly a serious pacifist element left at the Left/Liberal side in the States. So you'd find there a general interest and mild support for some of Trump's trial balloons for becoming less interventionist which would bring him in opposition to die-hard Statists of both ruling parties while at the same time you'd notice a healthy distrust as well since it's still more likely Trump will go with anything which advances his position on a particular day in the eyes of what he imagines his world consists of on a given day.
