I guess the Saloon wants you to think Trump hates Ivanka because she’s a successful Jewish woman. That’s some weird sh*t from the lib loons.

Fixed it.

There is no logic or reason to vote for Hillary. A vote for Hillary is a pure emotional vote driven either by her gender or pure hysteric ignorance of Trump.

If you wish to use logic, and reason, the only rational vote is Trump.

Hillary has been a leader in the poltical system that has created epidemic violence in our cities, a stagnant US economy and global instability. No rational person can vote for her.

The writers of Salon believe in the concept of monolithic blocs in society. I suppose that thinking of groups of voters as being composed of a multitude of individuals with their own personal motivations is a bit taxing for the snarky, simplistic mind of a Salon writer.

According to most commentators, the prototypical Trump supporter is an uneducated, narrow-minded bigot with legitimate grievances against the faltering economy which Trump has skillfully alchemized into violent rage toward non-whites, Muslims and successful women.
***************************

Translation:
Stupid, ignorant bigots vote for Trump.

Reality:

Those not indoctrinated to hate their country recognize that the Ministry of Propaganda has spent decades trying to convince Americans to give up their country without a fight.
Trump gives them a way to fight back, something the GOP has worked hard to prevent.
In every election since the last amnesty, the GOP has run amnesty candidates.
This is the first election where we have a had a choice for real border security and actual immigration enforcement in decades.

The starting premise of this article is that we are all ignorant troglodytes. If that is your starting point, it doesn’t matter how much slick psychology you employ, you can’t convince people that the blue sky is actually brown.

Hillary is DEFINITELY a CRIMINAL FELON. Say what you will about Trump, but he is not a criminal.

Criminals are unfit to be president.

Judging by the comments after this article, Erica Etelson is casting pearls before swine. Ad hominem attacks remain the primary rhetorical device. Little reasoning, little data, little self-reflection, just name calling.

Personally, I am going to try a few of Erica’s questions on a few Clinton supporters to see if I can get a glimmer of self-reflection. I am not optimistic.

Victor Davis Hanson recently examined this latest version of the Progressives’ attack on anyone who disagrees with them. This is just another version of Obama’s “Typical White People” screeds. VDH refers to this latest Progressive line of attack as portraying all of Trump’s supporters as “White Working-Class Zombies”.

“powerful non-defensive communication.”
AHHH, yes! The old "you can attract more flies with honey than you can with vinegar" routine. How many lib/prog types have the self control to use this tactic without resorting to name calling, or crybullying, privilege shaming or defaulting into the CRY RACISM mode?

Gee, she seems so cheery.

Oh, the irony of her pairing a Nazi-era Star of David patch with an emblem of Islam.

You don’t understand, she is using “dog whistle code speech” for her audience. Translated, “Trump will derail our plans for re education camps for knuckle dragging Americans who are to stupid to understand our global utopia”. Does it make sense now?

“I read about a girls’ soccer game where the home team fans were yelling, “Build that wall!” at the other team, which was mostly Latina and black ... If Trump were president, do you think there would be more or fewer of these kinds of incidents?”

“I would say ‘fewer’. I think he should talk *about* people, not *to* people. He should instead say things like ‘bitter clingers’ or ‘punish our enemies’ or ‘we bring a gun’ or ‘acted stupidly’. I’m fully on board with that kind of implied violence.”

Remember that the definition of “A Racist” is “Anyone who is winning an argument with a liberal”.

One wonders just what part of society Islam has reserved for muslim lesbians, in her little mind.

“How do you react when Trump takes positions that ban entire groups of people from being in the United States, like sending all Mexican immigrants back to Mexico and allowing no Muslims to enter the United States?”

“I’m like, ‘FINALLY! Somebody who wants to PROTECT our country and our citizens and our jobs, instead of having us conquered one by one and by a thousand cuts, like how politicians and business have been selling us out over the past thirty years.”

(NB: I would never say “I’m like” except in this case where I’m talking to a 20-year-old.)

Pre-debate prep for ‘Illary’s strategy of “misogynist”.

Yes, but are your PG degrees in approved courses of study, such as Interpretive Liberal Feminist Dance or some such?
