I understand. That's probably a good thing.

| So Lorna Loomer has just won the Republican primary. If you don’t know she’s extremely right wing, she makes Farage look like a bleeding heart liberal.
Lefties and Liberals, wokes and all the easily offended this is your fault.
For the last twenty years you’ve sneered at, you’ve dismissed and derided the reasonable fears of ordinary people. You’ve branded them ignorant, racist and homophobic to name but a few for having the audacity to question your beliefs.
So where did you expect them to turn? Extremism breeds extremism and every time you slapped them down you pushed them into the arms of people like Trump and Loomer. Well done, you must be so proud.
So what that’s America. Well it isn’t it’s just the U.K. in two years time. The right will build momentum and support will arrive in Europe from the US as it always does.
Well you have your race war and class war and now you have polarised politics, great just great.
You’ve managed to destroy two of the most tolerant nations on earth because you are ignorant, petulant and above all arrogant.
The right will win. They have the money and they have the skills. Am I happy? NO, I hate extremist left or right. However anyone with a brain could see this coming. You keep telling people they are dumb then don’t be surprised when they are.
Loomer incidentally took 48% of the vote which is huge apparently. This confirms my worst fears, Trump will gain a huge majority and will get four more years. A disaster for humanity imho.
Don’t blame him, don’t blame the voters, there is only one grip at fault. Still I don’t suppose we will see them for dust when the right wing gains full power. They won’t be on the front line fighting on the streets, they will be hiding in their mansions denying everything.
This is an OT thread so excuse the length of my rant, but this development is scary.

| I agree with your disappointment of extremism and of the lefties that blame everyone for upsetting them but the only people at fault for extremists gaining power are those that vote for them.

| I don't see Trump as the worrying extremist, its not like he has unanimous support from the Reps, and presidents come and go.
No, I see the Dems as the worrying extremists, ideology doesn't reside with a few officials and hangers on.
Even considering the up and coming election, the Dems are truly shocking, I don't give a **** shocking.
So shocking, you have to wonder what their strategy for gaining power is, because it certainly isn't to win an election.
Not too many dots to join there I don't think.
