44. *Nothing* should lead a leftist to do that.

I don't get any of that. Trump is somewhere to the right of Darth Vader; how can anyone who calls themselves "leftist" find common cause with him and his malign administration? His fawning over Putin doesn't mean he's at all "leftist." Putin himself isn't to the left of anybody either - he's not even a real Communist; he's an authoritarian oligarch - which seems to be Trump's career goal, too. Are some of those Trump-praising dingbats at JPR hoping that his excesses will eventually bring about The Revolution or something? I don't get it.

A weird hate site with alt-right trolls ismnotwasm Feb 2017 #16

Yes, and you see every bit of propaganda Trump puts out BainsBane Feb 2017 #21

I take that as an endorsement of Drumpf's war against Hispanics. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2017 #22

Yes BainsBane Feb 2017 #24

The latter group isn't nearly as offensive. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2017 #25

Not in the same way. But too much pro-Trump stuff is there mvd Feb 2017 #26

There is nothing laudable about Trump, nothing. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2017 #27

It's from a leftist frustrated, can't tolerate the Dems position. Not a rightist one mvd Feb 2017 #28

I understand the leftist critique of the Democratic party, but I don't see how that leads one... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2017 #32

Hillary is the red herring here. Antipathy toward Hill shouldn't lead a leftist to laud Drumpf. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2017 #42
