Do you live your life in fear that a lefty will murder you?
As stupid as being motivated by a “basket of deplorables”
Do you live your life in fear that a lefty will murder you?
don't worry, he's a minuteman!!!!
Not really. Im married to one though
voted Obama twice so I could also be called lefty
I don't know anyone who was motivated by "basket of deplorables," except perhaps the deplorables themselves.
I don't recall the Democratic candidate claiming that the deplorables were going to violently overthrow the country if they won.
You're not very good at comparisons.
she sure wasnt trying to motivate anyone then speaking at her campaign rally
[HILL-A-RY chants]
I know there are only 60 days left to make our case — and don’t get complacent, don’t see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think well he’s done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?
[Laughter/applause]
The racist, sexist, phobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people — now how 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric.
She wasn't really wrong.
How is that comparable to the insinuation that Democrats are going to violently overthrow the country with Antifa's help if they win in the midterms?
Thats why I said “as stupid”
both stupid rhetorics
You could certainly argue they were both stupid. But nowhere near the same scale.
So not "as" stupid, no.
I know you just got off your shift and have a whole buncha tweets queued up but this has already been debunked. Sorry.
Respectfully disagree
Actually that wuote is one of the big reasons she lost.
Search Trump news and tell me which links should be regulated, Chris.
If that's true it only supports my point that the only people likely motivated by that statement were the deplorables themselves.
Maybe so. But Hillary did not mean to motivate them but her base as is the same with the GOP Antifq remarks. They want to motivate their base but might end up motivating the rivals.
Thus why I said both stupid strategies.
This is not a smart way to gauge internet censorship.
you would have to employ teqms of IT analysts for quite some time to investigate this.
Trump’s government would need to do this as well.
Not a stupid strategy for Trump, it actually works on his supporters.
Which brings us full circle. Imagine being stupid enough that this actually works.
It MIGHT work we dont know. I say it wont work. Its a stupid strategy.
We shall see who is right
It worked in 2016. Watch his acceptance speech at the RNC again. All fire and lawlessness. Be scared for your lives. Crime, rape, immigrants, Muslims. They're coming to get you and they must be stopped.
Chris with the 5 hour old news bads.
Id say Hillary being a terrible candidate and saying stupid things and her email fiasco worked and was a bigger factor.
But again. We are free to disagree. We shalk see if this works. I say it wont as its a stupid strategy.
Trump’s economic adviser: ‘We’re taking a look’ at whether Google searches should be regulated
The Trump administration on Tuesday said it would explore regulating Google –
an effort that would challenge protections around free speech online –
in response to the president’s allegations that
the tech giant manipulates its search results to prominently display negative stories about him and other Republicans.

other than DJT's bare assertion that Google privileges the left-wing views and suppresses right wing ones, what evidence can you adduce that this is true?
fwiw, Alternet and WSWS have been complaining about the exact same thing for about a year. maybe it's not the right wing per se that's targeted but merely "non-mainstream", "hateful" or arguably "extreme" points of view.
viewed from an economic perspective, optimizing mainstream views makes sense, that's where the clicks -- and the ad revenue -- come from.
it's certainly true that Google news has been crapified, ditto for Facebook and Twitter. but if this is true, why not use other tools?
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2018...-facebook.htmlYou will also note the obvious way in which the page has been gamed by gaslighters and moral panic engineers, who can drive every other story off the front page through sheer volume Finally, you’ll note that the fact checkers include organs of state security, in the form of polygraph.info, “a fact-checking website produced by Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.”
