I'm in the inside looking out and this whole alt right thing is BS. I'm a minority -- one who would be "hurt" by Trump's "build wall" policies -- and liking a smug Pepe meme or /pol/ meme isn't something one should worry about. All, I get from Luckey is that he thinks memes are funny and he doesn't like HRC; calling him anything else is dumb and inflammatory. This whole election is a joke; hell I'm slowly being motivated to vote for Trump just to add to the mixture of ridiculousness.

> Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism. Criticism, or a media wide "witch hunt" about his weight etc.? Oh, those memes and jokes don't count ? So far I've checked, he's still a legitimate presidential candidate. What the mainstream media doesn't obsess about is the Clinton business, not to mention censoring the whole health issue as a "conspiracy theory". > Why does anything associated with Trump oft…
Good grief. The issue with Trump isn't left or right, as he doesn't appear to have any core ideological values. The issue with Trump is that he's 1) a bad manager and executive, bully, narcissist 2) apparently has a low attention span and no appetite for work 3) a thin skin that is prone to retaliate 4) a fraud who uses the tactics of a salesman and appeals to the devils of peoples nature, namely: bigotry, xenophobia…

Of course. But call him out for what exactly? That he liked a Tweet? That he supports Trump? And by calling out, you mean public shaming him for his beliefs. I see it on my FB feed everyday - "look at this idiot Trump supporter". Or from the other side - "these libt_rds actually believe this stuff". Remember when Viralnova made big bucks making cute cat pics go viral? We don't see them anymore because media outlets h…
It's not just his tweets, likes, or his support of Trump. It's proven in detail now that he is actively funding a fringe alt-right group that peddles bigoted/racist/xenophobic crap. Most of us want to live in a world that says this is not ok.
As do I. I wish that world didn't use struggle sessions and collective guilt (his girlfriend has been driven off social media) in the process.

Do I need to even bring up the videos of Trump essentially saying we should plunder Iraq and Syria for oil? It's not even thinly veiled imperialism, Trump literally says "We should go in and TAKE the oil".
Do you understand that part of "Make America Great Again" is a return to former empire glory? It's stone cold patriotic nationalism, the same forces at work in Russia supporting Putin, with ideas of returns to former glory.
Trump wants more than Waterboarding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3FXMJ46pVA
Trump wants to assassinate people's families: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRoLRJCW3js
Trump's AIPAC speech far exceeded the pandering by Hillary and other politicians.
I could go on and on. We know the kind of politician Hillary is, we see it every 4 years. Pandering to AIPAC, defending the existing foreign entanglements, acting tough so as not to be seen "weak on national security".
Do you understand that there's a difference between that, and a man literally saying he wants to make torture legal, and to assassinate families, to plunder foreign resources via military conquest? Why don't you take this man at his word?
Are you Russian and just pro-Trump because you think he'll be nice to Russian interests?

I am not. I'll just repeat the previous statement : "only one obsessing with Putin are the regressive left Americans. The boogeyman mantra apparently still stands and can be used effectively."
