Not "rapists," although skin color may be part of the reason you and Trump are so adamant about smearing them as such.

action52 posted... Well if he had come out after the fact, apologized, and said that he just didn't know at the time then that would be evidence of him not being racist. But instead he doubles down, refusing to admit their innocence. That makes me more inclined to believe his hatred was irrational and fueled by something like racism. But anyway you can split hairs about unrelated shit till you're blue in the face but it won't make me think I never thought Trump was racist until the 2016 election because I did and so did many of us other "leftists." --- i am truley sorry for your lots ...

But instead he doubles down, refusing to admit their innocence. And you know he didn't admit fault here because he's racist? It can't just be because he never admits when he's wrong regardless of the skin color of who he's dealing with; because whenever it's in regard to black people, the ONLY logical impetus is that he just hates black people.

You seem to bocce under the impression that the only way to determine if someone is fascist is through the policy they manage to push through. How about his intended policies? You've been listing them up until now, but all of a sudden your excuse is that there's no examples of him being fascist because he hasn't been able to do anything fascist yet? Let's review: Walls are not fascist. Protecting your country's border is something all countries do. The Berlin wall was constructed by the socialist German democratic republic of East germany, whom you yourself claim are inherently opposed to fascism. So which is it? Lower taxes and deregulation are not fascist. Fascism quite definitively involves greater control over industry and commerce. Travel bans are not fascist, unless you're willibg to call Obama a fascist since he did the same damn thing in 2013. Seems like all you have left as far as examples of Trump being a fascist is aesthetically similar rhetoric. Which, again, applies equally well to Obama. Now this is probably the part where you claim to have all these experts on your side that prove me wrong, yet you refuse to cite any of their work, making your claim utterly meaningless.

Blocking people with green cards/visas from traveling was not the stated intention of the ban, and the proponents of the ban said as much, which is why they fixed it. The state courts shot down the ban entirely, on the basis it would hurt their tourism or whatever nonsense excuse they came up with.
