    Default Dinesh D'Souza

    How is this ignorant reprobate so goddamn' popular in the US and in Lewk's household?

    Someone help me understand. I've been trying to get through his articles, interviews, tweets and two of his books, but they're just so frickin' bad.

    Had no idea who he was, so just did some reading.

    One of the first things that came up was a recent tweet of his "... The term Nazi is a compression of the terms " National" and "Socialist" (Sozialismus)--hence all Nazis are by definition on the Left"

    Not only does this man get the most basic facts wrong, he also indulges in brain-fart logic with those incorrect facts. And he's publishing books.

    Large amounts of lol to be had.

    Next idiot please Minxy, that was a good one.

And now we have to use it.

    And that's Why I'm Voting Leave.

    I'm too afraid to laugh because this idiot actually seems to be influential.

    He tells conservatives what they want to believe, and because he does it as a non-white person and someone with basic research skills, they don't feel so bad about believing those things anymore.

    Unlike the right, which is ambivalent about Confederate flag-carrying white supremacists, but show them a black athlete disrespecting the flag!

    Do you really think it would matter if it was a black or a white athlete 'disrespecting the flag?' Oh wait I forgot who I was talking to, its Loki the guy who has bought into the whole 'everyone on the right is racist' nonsense.

    I know I think that. If it hadn't started as something associated with the same objections to police behavior as BLM, by a black player, than it would not have received much attention, and it would not have spread to other black players which received even more attention.

    And as I was just posted on the other thread it wouldn't have had muppets like Trump etc stoking controvery further by trying to stomp it out which only inflames it further.

    I'm about 90% sure no one would give a fuck if it was a white athlete.

    Which cuts both ways.

    The protestors want​ people to give a fuck. That's why they're doing it.

    They want people to give a fuck about what they're protesting about, not use preformative outrage over quote unquote 'disrespecting' the national anthem as an excuse to not listen to what they're trying to say.

    Its the Streisand Effect. By Trump and co using outrage they are getting massively more attention than they were beforehand. What started off as one individual who was viewed as a bit odd is now a worldwide known about phenomenon.

    That's the point, Rand. Trump is desperate to make this into a wedge issue to rile up his racially resentful base.

    Trump is a pathetic attention whore your voters somehow entrusted with the most important job in the world. He will grasp any excuse to rile up his racially resentful base.

    Hopefully come 2018/2020 your voters give him the verdict he deserves. If he runs again, secures the nomination again and even gets as many electoral votes as Walter Mondale then there is a problem.

    Despite a 37% approval rating, he's still polling at over 50% in ~20 states.

    Maybe you need to extricate yourselves from those States . . .

    How can you be polling without someone running against you?

    Because polling is about approval ratings and you don't need to be asking a comparison to get those numbers?

    Loki said 37% approval rating yet polling at 50%. But reading again I think i misunderstood this and it's 37% overall but 50% in half of the states. My bad.
