I think mainstream Dems thinking they have a good grip on WHY people vote just cost them all 3 branches of the government for the forseeable future.
Just saying.
Edit: I personally agree that the vast majority of white racists voted for Trump. My problem is with the broad generalizations using absolutes.
95% of blacks voted for Obama vs. Hillary in their primary, no less.
It’s statistically impossible, but for racism.
Respectfully, that assertion suggests to me a misunderstanding of what the term racism means.
This is not a “true statement.” It is, in fact, a vicious, racist lie.
“They’re rapists” is a statement of fact. I know Right partisans like you desperately want us to acquiesce to an Orwellian Newspeak in which words – and, specifically, the “inartful” words of the president, around which slobbering hordes of racist scumbags instantly rallied – don’t have meaning. But that isn’t going to happen, so, I regret to inform you that “they’re rapists” still means “they are rapists” in the English language. Strictly speaking, this means “they [all] are rapists” (I can’t believe I feel the need to explain this, but: if I pointed to a pair of basketballs, one orange and one red, and said “they are red,” I’d be wrong). But let’s give the benefit of the doubt and say Trump is speaking very casually. Still, “they’re rapists” is a strong and sweeping claim.
And what about the ones who are good people? With what level of acknowledgement and certainty are they adduce by Trump? “Some, I assume.”
So, “when Mexico sends its people,” whatever the hell that means (jk lol it means nothing because Trump doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground and can barely read):
Rapists: they are.
Good people: some, I assume.
In case you missed the difference (I leave this open as a possibility only because you’ve had over a year to analyze this particular sentence and still don’t seem to have made any progress in the direction of accuracy):
Rapists: they are.
Good people: some, I assume.
It occurs fairly quickly to us why Stormfront and David Duke took such an immediate liking to Trump.
But, unfortunately, it turns out that the ratio among Mexican immigrants of rapists to good people is not, as Trump’s formulation implies by unambiguous logical necessity, even close to 1. In fact it’s closer to .001 than 1.
So: yep, the claim is a lie. A vicious, racist lie.
80% of women crossing illegally into the US from Mexico are raped along the way.
You tried this during the primary and it was easily defeated (hint: cartels, not Mexican men looking to immigrate to America, run the routes). Is there some kind of snap-back mechanism whereby after a period of time all your old failures just reconstitute themselves inside your “brain” (I’m trying to become as good as the POTUS at throwing petty punctuation-based shade).
Read the study - it says cartels members , smugglers and other migrants perpetrated the rapes
I can’t believe that progressives are more worried by the idea that Trump claimed all Mexicans are rapists than by the idea that he assumes some rapists are good people(obviously his assumption, when you consider that he claimed all Mexicans are rapists), or the fact that he doesn’t even know what rape is(women can’t commit rape, and some Mexicans are women).
Bravo!
It isn’t a study. It’s a report, by an outlet that isn’t scientific, based on interviews with some activists. And it doesn’t provide a breakdown by perpetrator (because how could it, it isn’t an actual study), but if you know anything about cartels, you know they have a monopoly on every crime and iniquity within their jurisdiction.
So: this means jack shit, and it doesn’t support whatever point you think it does.
Liberal’s pathetic parsing of Trump’s statement is even more convoluted than Trump’s manner of speaking.
No one would accuse Trump of being Shakespeare, but what he was saying was very clear and true to any one without an agenda: illegals are not the best and brightest of Mexico, many commit crimes and bring problems with them.
Anyone who denies this is living in an alternative reality.
Now if you could have kept the bowing emoji and the thumb
QED.
So, what have we learned? Words don’t have meaning in Trumpworld; you can’t even attempt a defense of the sentence in question; and, more than anything else, you post-truth Snowflakes want to be left alone in fantasyland where the cold light of empirical reality cannot pierce through the miasma of your comfortable numbness.
By the way: based on this interaction, I have a new, totally-not-anti-Semitic view of Jews: they’re stupid. And some, I assume, are good people.
Remember: don’t “parse” this. You wouldn’t want to be “pathetic.”
Damn! I thought the bowing emoji just showed up as text…that’s how it was on my end.
yep only text
Ha. For amusement, I just listened to the tape. He doesn’t even say “They’re” as stated in the transcript.
He says “There are.”
Now go reparse.
No he doesn’t, and his campaign explicitly confirmed that he said “they’re” by retweeting the transcript. Nice try at lying, though.
Go watch it yourself.
