That's EXACTLY the wrong thing to do. Then you associate anyone who doesn't like illegal immigration with actual white supremacist killers. You piss off an entire group of decent people by linking their benign political opinions to mass murder.

Denounce MURDER, not motivation and you will start to see a more unified nation.


Trump didn't need to refer to Mexicans as bandits and rapists, and claim that only the worst Mexico had to offer were being sent over to the US, did he? If he was really just against illegal immigration, why demonize this entire group by creating a fantasy that they were bad and dangerous people? By doing this, he inspired idiots to take up arms against them because he confirmed their already deranged beliefs that Mexican people are bad and must be stopped.

And wouldn't calling white males out for being the most common terrorists cause idiots to take up arms and attempt to stop them?

The most common terrorists are white males. Anyone can see that with their own eyes.

There is no calling out, there is no rhetoric, there is no incitement.

The flaw would be to say, because most common terrorists are white males, you need to be afraid of white males in general. That you need to kill tjhem. That is what Trump does with immigrants. No one is doing that for white males and anyone who does that needs to be condemned, as Trump and nationalists and supremacists need to be condemned.

But they aren't actually doing that. You, as one of these nationalists apparently, are just taking personal offense. People who aren't white nationalists aren't going to take offense to anything anyone says about this, because we know we aren't the problem. And who cares if a bunch of white nationalists won't vote for the Democratic party? Yeah, I mean huge loss of a reliable voting group that definitely wasn't already not voting for you there.

The point is condemning white supremacy is not condemning white men in general.

Republicans condemned gay people (the vast majority of which are white in the US) for decades and it didn't turn off white people at all.

What's so special about the niche of white supremacy that makes it impossible to touch without offending half the country?

Are we going to argue you can't terrorize people without murdering them?

Hitting people in the heads with tire irons, fire bombing headquarters, beating them in streets while clad in riot gear, etc is not enough?

You are trying to play a political game if you are trying to argue Antifa is not a terrorist organization and frankly it really devalues your argument greatly to the average person.

The average person can see a group of people going out in riot gear and batons to attack people is a terrorist organization.

You're right that if the Democrats will lose really badly if their presidential candidates start saying all white men are awful. I am curious though, how is that going to happen when most of the candidates (including the current front-runner) are white men themselves?

Corrik is trying to "both sides" violence, even though 99% of all political violence (and this includes radical Islamic terrorism) comes from right-wing sources. It's the "98% of climate change scientists hold just as much sway as the 2% who deny climate change" of terrorism.

Desperation? We are stating who is terrorist organizations. This isn't a dick measuring contest to see who is worst or so on. It is simply stating the fact that these are all terrorist organizations. They all have leaderships, members, and terrorize the populace over their political beliefs.
