    Did you miss how Trump said that there were very fine people marching with the Nazis in Charlottesville

    If you start off with a lie, it’s hard to take anything you say seriously. You sound frantic speeding such propaganda.

    Following the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Trump did say that there were “very fine people on both sides,” when speaking about those who attended the rally in support, and those who demonstrated against it. But the meme misrepresents Trump’s statements, because he did not say directly, “There were very fine people on both sides, & I’m not talking about the Neo-nazis and white supremacists because they should be condemned totally.” The two statements were separate, the second part coming later, after further questioning from reporters. During the first presidential debate, both Wallace and Biden referenced Trump’s “very fine people” comment but did not say he applied it to neo-Nazis.

              So when you say that Republicans are bringing a “Democrat flag” to their rallies, how does that fit into your rubric?

              I’d like so see some more tortured “logic” like your excusing the Nazis’ marching partners at Charlottesville.

              You see, my woke ass wouldn’t be seen dead with people yelling “jews will not replace us,” but I’m sure the people in the UNITE THE RIGHT rally had their reasons.

                I don’t know they are republicans.

                I do know the battle flag represents democrats. Democrats wanted to keep slavery and the republicans defeated them.

                Was Trump there? Was any republican leadership there?

                I’m not excusing the Neo-Nazis marching. It’s their right to march. Only a fascist would think people can’t protest. That seems to be your mo.

                  What a smart take! I’m sure that ANTIFA is behind this, those sly devils!

                  Look behind you, it’s a false flag!

                  You sure came out of this exchange looking like you want to have an honest conversation about serious things. I’m sure all the people buying traitor merch outside GOP rally venues are all in on the elaborate ruse.

                  Wow, it’s so obvious once I started to think about it! I just have to assume all of the racist backwards dipshits are all Democrats! The scales have fallen from my eyes, and now I see the world as it truly is.

                  What a blessed day.

                    Anita is fascist as well. The brown shirts of the democrats.

                    I do want to have an honest conversation but you just want to cry fascism.

                    Of course the racist are democrats. Always have been. Always will be. Ever since we took their slaves away, they’ve been angry about it.
