To describe Trump as simply warty is to vastly misrepresent or dismiss his proud racism and misogyny.


> his proud racism and misogyny

The amount of mis-quotation around Trumps alleged "racism and misogyny" means I'd like at least a few specifics along with any such claim, just to be clear what your level is.


I don't think there's a serious question here. I'm sorry if you don't feel like I'm engaging your argument; it may genuinely be thoughtful but just comes across as intentionally ignorant.

EDIT: I'm going to engage with this even though the premise of the request bothers me significantly.

Here is Trump announcing his candidacy, declaring Mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers (but it's okay, he's sure there are some good people there, too): https://youtu.be/q_q61B-DyPk?t=7m57s

And here is our President-elect advocating for sexual assault: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wM248Wo54U

That's just a taste. I encourage you to wade deeper into this muck if you're unfamiliar with it.


>the premise of the request bothers me

Is that the premise that you can't trust the judgement of a stranger? Since in this case that stranger I'd is you, maybe that's why it bothers you?

Trump declared that Mexican immigrants were not screened to remove rapists.

Trump didn't advocate sexual assault.

These are known examples to me, so what "deeper" muck are you referring to?

The fact that you feel so confident about these examples that you'd doubt that I'm serious, and even call me "ignorant"...


"Trump didn't advocate sexual assault."

The exact quote is "You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy."

This is a description of sexual assault. I'm really saddened by how many Americans are so deep in rape culture that they cannot see that.


> This is a description of sexual assault

A fuller quote is "they let you do it. You can do anything.", so no, it isn't clear that this is a description of sexual.

I'm not American, but I'm not sad many Americans don't buy into "rape culture" as a descriptions of American norms.


Well I'm glad you're comfortable with that.


The former, or the latter?

In any case, I'm not "comfortable" with knee-jerk reactions, or misinformed accusations.
