Media Anti-Trump Frenzy Will Backfire

… the thoughts of a 22-year-old Trump supporter … a prosperous post-collegian in the San Francisco Bay area — someone who should be backing Bernie, or Hillary, or maybe Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. But instead he’s backing Trump, and so is his Asian fiancée. And the reason he gives is political correctness.

“For me personally, it's resistance against what San Francisco has been, and what I see the country becoming, in the form of ultra-PC culture. That’s where it's almost impossible to have polite or constructive political discussion. Disagreement gets you labeled fascist, racist, bigoted, etc. It can provoke a reaction so intense that you’re suddenly an unperson to an acquaintance or friend. ... If Trump wins, we will have a president that overwhelmingly rejects PC rhetoric. Even better, we will show that more than half the country rejects this insane PC regime.”

I simply don’t expect anyone to be PERFECT! The time for casting doubts was in the primaries. We do not have the time, nor the strength to waste on DOUBTERS who constantly pop up with some negative point of view which don’t matter in the least beside the big issue..Who will be the next president? Chill Man. You are WITH Trump or you are AGAINST him and it is too late to criticize his method of winning. He has taken more abuse than any candidate in history and he is still standing. That’s my kind of guy and I’m backing him 100%.

If Trump doesn’t get us out of the mess we are in, THERE WILL BE NO SECOND CHANCE!

BTW, I am a woman.

For me the USSC is reason enough but I also want the utter annihilation to start against the PC tyranny

I agree with you more than you know.

The main difference is that I suspect that is true even if he does win. But we should go down fighting!

Are there really enough people paying attention to make a difference?

I don't believe so. I think too many people are perfectly willing to swallow the comfortable lies told them by the establishment, because to do otherwise would take actual work and thought. How many people do you know that are willing to spend the time it take to think critically about the issues?

All the same, if Trump really is cucking on immigration, then I’m off the train.

Really? Wow. I can't believe that a sane person could support Hillary.

Since the establishment has even gone so far as to purchase the libertarian party out of their spare change, you don't even really have a place to go for a "protest" vote. I don't have a problem with someone voting their conscience, but in this election, I'd crawl over molten lava to vote against Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, and the bestest way to get 'er done is to get Hillary elected.

THEN we can finally do something about immigration.

With due respect to your ideas, I do not think cal is going to be saved with Trump as prez.

Hell, I don't think it would be saved if Eisenhower were reincarnated.

Not without cleaning out that cesspool of a statehouse first.

And then, kicking out the present republican CA party and getting some fresh blood in there that is willing to take the fight to the rats.

It may not be salvageable, but we have to try and we have to begin somewhere.

I watched north OC transform and it did so in a hurry. Maybe it can change back just as quickly.

“I’ve called California “northern Mexico” for two decades, And I lived in Vallejo and Anaheim in the 60’s.”

If north OC, Anaheim included, was northern Mexico in the 60s (I remember what it was like back then) you’d despair over what it’s become now. The 1986 Amnesty and the subsequent refusal of every President to deport new illegals worked its poisonous magic.

I am with you. I will likely die trying.

It will have to be from within, just like it was turned into a dem hell hole in the first place.

We, Ca citizens, will be the ones to do it.

I have relatives in Napa to this day. About 17 years ago I went back for a family reunion. I re-visited Vallejo at the time. Even then, I kept thinking “A Tale of Two Cities”. The two had evolved in completely opposite directions.
