I point out that people don't actaully like paying taxes, "You NAZI!"

There was some poor rhetoric from Trump, he supported some stuff he shouldn't have. But has that behavior continued since he became President?

Whether or not I am normal, I am me. I can't help the way I am. I was wired this way; it was not a choice. So pity me. Disagree with me. But please let me live my life the best way I can manage and don't punish me for what I am.

I'm honestly unaware of that.

No, of course not.

We punish people for what they *do*, not what they *are*.

@Khanclansith , I've never called someone a NAZI who was not actually a NAZI, either self-identified or through clear connections in 1930/40 Germany.

I'm a historian, it's fine to call Nazis Nazis. :p

@DrYuriMom That's offensive. You can't call nazis nazis. Didn't you know that Battlefield5, set in WW2, has banned the word Nazi for being offensive!

@JustTom , maybe we don;t see a riot the same way. Were marches and non-violent civil disobedience riots?

@DrYuriMom I have studied the rise of Facism, National Socialism and have done presentations on preventing it's return. Which is why I am frustrated by the fact that those that who claim to be "Anti-Facist" behave so close to the NSDAP- SA of the 1920-30s

Oh, Tom, tell me you're joking.

I'm not. The word Nazi is banned in BF5.

They seriously dodged using Nazi in a WW2 combat game?

There was a lot of that early on. That said, there were also cars burned in DC on inauguration day and I think everyone decried that.

Trump jokingly saying to body slam a reporter is bad and may radicalize someone. But does not calling 50% of the people Nazis, racists, deplorable do even more damage?

I never even heard of the inauguration day riots until Tim mentioned them.

It was glossed over by the news @Atkins

Yeah, Tim was on it, a few other people were. Not nearly as loud as it should have been though.

@TraderPropShop , yeah. Again, that's why I am here and not on the left with my "natural allies"

The Libertarians are your true allies.

If they didn't want the gold standard, I'd agree with you

@DrYuriMom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi_vX0tknJM
Antifa early riots against a Jewish Free Speech advocate.
Tell me where the line between riot and "non-violent civil disobedience" is please.

Libertarians are kooky in ways that make the Dems make sense

I'll level with you, the Republicans are too married to conservative Christian factions to give you everything you want, at least for the next generation or two.

I know that, @Bookworm . That's my problem.

Ohh Cat, you don't like fixed money, i.e. gold?

I don't want the left but the right doesn't want me.

I exist in political limbo.

It's not that the right doesn't want you.

They just won't give you your full platform.

Religious right is almost entirely dead of old age.

Okay, as long as you agree that the mainstream support of THIS, was the mainstream support of RIOTING AND VIOLENCE. @DrYuriMom

Remmember all of the cars that got burrned in DC when the Tea Party cranks protested Obama? Yeah, me neither.

I don;t want a platform. I just want to be left alone to live my life with my family fully recognized.

Tea Partiers were well known for picking up the litter after their rallies.

Tea Party tried to go mainstream and were quickly booed out.

That was before new media, and the now legacy media...didn't like them.

When you control the image, you control national opinion, and thus the Tea Party was neutralized.

The MSM tried to claim the Tea Party was "The New Face of the KKK!" Yeah, the Tea Party were just people who hate taxes and not entirely informed on what was happening

I gotta sit here and agree with @Khanclansith - Antifa are a perfect image of what it means to be a Fascist.
