it seems that many believe that a liberal in the usa must be a democrat, pretty much following the party core teachings and some even think it means approving the party history of, during the 19th century, supporting or tolerated slavery and opposing civil rights reforms after the civil war.
some even insist that a liberal loves anything and everything obama did..
balderdash!!.
When I mentioned muslim extremists, I was referring to within the US. There is no doubt that muslim extremism is an issue. I am not doubting that for one second. The Islamic State is an islamic fascist group that has committed some of the most terrible acts imaginable. It's too bad that the US contributed to their rise.
If a feminist calling for the patriarchy to be smashed is violent incitement, then what would you call Trumps order to police to be more violent with suspects during arrests?

Yeah LUHE, but I don't actually see any 'democrats' actually calling for violent revolution, so why the need to throw socialist / communist label around so much? I'm trying to understand. To me, it's no different than the right wing's critique of always being called nazis when it isn't warranted.

If you want to speculate on the threat of the dreaded Socialists \ Communists running for office, at least consider some of the open white nationalists that are running for office recently such as Patrick Little and Joey Gibson. Oh and lets not forget Authur Jones. Yeah that guy who used to head the American Nazi Party who ran unopposed in the GOP Primary for Illinois.
Also, please don't lie to yourself and say that white nationalists are not violent people. I can provide ample evidence of white nationalists actually killing people. Multiple people in a few different countries. In terms of active threats to Americans, white nationalists top every list. They have killed more people than muslim extremists and leftists.

Socialism can only become Communism through a violent revolution though. Socialists hold onto this idea that their vision can be accomplished through mechanisms of the state. Such as reforms. They think the current system can slowly be reformed to fir their vision. Communists believe their ideal society can only be accomplished once the entire system has been flipped over on its head through a violent revolution. I've noticed that people are SUPER triggered by Alexandria Cortez recently. Even within the Democratic establishment. That is because through and through, the Democratic party still supports Capitalism. Alexandria Cortez doesn't mention anywhere in her platform that she wants to abolish Capitalism, but the right-wingers are all kinds of triggered over her (ironic considering they fling that expression at anyone to the left of trump)

Blownaway,
I'm always fascinated by this claim that Democrats are socialists or communists. I've seen this thrown around quite a bit on this board. Can you provide any evidence of this claim? I'd love to see it
Also, you realize that there is a difference between socialists and communists right?
in late may 2017, i told my parents how i really felt about the religion they had raised me in, and by early june i was out of their house.
i've done a lot since then.
i let my hair and beard grow out a bit.
Glad to hear you made it out. Good luck on your new endeavors
i think it’s terrible and simply wrong not to serve a person in a restaurant simply because you disagree with their political views.
i think that when a uber driver dumps a car load of people simply because they speak amongst themselves about politics that the driver doesn’t agree with—-it’s discrimination!
this type of discrimination will cost people their lives someday!.
Man, if you really dislike people being denied service for political reasons, you are gonna be pissed when you hear how black folks were treated under Jim Crow just for existing LOL
i thought this was all about the 18th century.
but its current or just post current times.

I know a few people who read the books and are big fans of the show

Even I agree that the comparisons to the Trump Admin are a bit far fetched. With that said, the show does provide a grim look at what this country would be like under a sort of Christian Fundamentalist version of Sharia Law. I would imagine this is the kinda thing Ted Cruz would wax his carrot to LOL
