    I'm frankly tired of the snowflake PC culture of the right wing.

    I'm not sure if I belong in the liberal elite Boogeyman category but they sure as hell don't own plants and factories that dick around their workers.

    Maybe people posting dumb videos like this while mislabeling the people in the video adds credence to the thought that y'all are not too smart?

    I'm not sure what's worse. The condescension of the original comments or Lemon's faux apology that continues the condescension.

    Regardless, Trump's team thanks them for the ready made campaign commercial next fall.

    Man imagine the 8 season long documentary we could make of gop politicians ragging on "black culture", "thug culture", "violent immigrants" , "rat infested shitholes", "terrorist sympathizers" and "unpatriotic socialists".

    This isn't a hill you want to die on as a Trump/GOP bootlicker that you are.

    Imagine Obama calling a state like Kentucky "a giant meth den" akin to how Trump routinely bashes and insults liberal majority regions and cities.

    Democrat politicians are very politically correct and wouldn't dare offend or insult rural Americans. I just don't buy this narrative. I would say most Republican politicians won't openly insult minorites and urban voters but there are far more examples of fringe extremist Republican candidates expressing bigoted views of urban and minority voters. You don't see that from extremist Democrat politicians. Extremist Democrat politicians are economic populists and are even more embracing of rural blue collar workers than mainstream Democrats.

    Donald Trump is differnent in that we now have to consider him a mainstream Republican as he was chosen out of 17 GOP candidates and is president. He's actually willing to openly insult urban voters and openly punish them to prove a taking point such as openly expressing the idea of dumping massive swaths of asylum seekers to blue urban cities, slashing federal help for deviststing life altering wild fires in California and just calling urban cities rat infested shitholes.

    Imagine Obama insulting Kentucky with "meth head capital" or something along those lines. You can't and it's why I believe these takes about "this is why Donald Trump is elected" when someone insults a Republican voter in rural American on a internet message board comes from bad faith. Both sides have massive swaths of keyboard warriors insulting the other side. One side goes out and actually elects someone to manage the world's largest bureaucracy out of that vindictive spite. I already discussed this with @Os Trigonum. He didn't reply of course but I also pointed out how the left's "extremists" don't vote out of vindictiveness but rather what many such as yourself percieve to be unpragamtic policy desires out of naive idealism.

    Just look at the rhetoric of the left's "extremist candidates" such as Bernie and Warren. Never will they attempt to bash rural voters, rural culture etc. Now look at the rhetoric of Trump, someone who constantly bashes urban centers and revels in the political divorce between rural and urban voters, asking for Muslim bans, making up false stories of minority groups celebrating terror attacks in the US, calling American cities rat infested etc.

    Trump has finally turned his back to Fox News. What’s left?

    Shapiro is a huge douchebag 75% of the time and hasn’t ever uttered anything original... but he has a point.
