While I agree that political discourse should remain reasonable, if this is how you react when people post poorly photoshopped pictures of politicians, I really want to know what you were watching when Trump called Mexican immigrants rapists.
I don't talk about ISIS and serial child rapist gangs and their defenders as animal infestations and I don't do it to others for less, plus I have fun watching others flail around with less consistency than the President of Malaysia's bank accounts
Looking at the actual quote as well he says he's sure some are good people but his conversations with border patrol guards suggest otherwise; you must also consider that in Europe we had everyone bawling over every time someone pointed out immigrant groups were raping so many people and 2015 was pretty much the year of banterous validation on that where everyone who attacked the critics nervously tried shuffling the victims under the blanket. So I see the same kneejerk reaction in the USA and get skeptical because what you do we do later and what we do you do later.
According to a 2009 report by the Pew Hispanic Center, in 2007 Latinos "accounted for 40% of all sentenced federal offenders-more than triple their share (13%) of the total U.S. adult population". This was an increase from 24% in 1991. 72% of the Latino offenders were not U.S. citizens. For Hispanic offenders sentenced in federal courts, 48% were immigration offenses and 37% drug offenses. One reason for the large increase in immigration offenses is that they exclusively fall under federal jurisdiction.
Yeah this is problematicThis is not my argument I have the energy to (properly) make (I sympathize with Jeb here) as I've already made long serious posts on this stuff and it all goes around in circles anyways, point being I don't see why we should all start calling each other subhumans when we're perfectly capable of hating one another as
people. If you're only gonna do it because it's an acceptable target then you're no different to the other side who's just doing the same with their own acceptable targets, and that makes you a subhuman which is bad
...I must ask.
Did that previously exist, or did you make it special for me?
Because it is wonderful and amazing in either case and I am glad you have shown me it's light.
Also, RedKing, honestly. You can bring up that Trump is a terrible human being without dehumanizing him. Just go with 'he's a terrible person' instead of 'he's a terrible monkey'.
Because while it is true that he is utterly terrible at both being a decent monkey, and being a decent person, only one is relevant.

People can tolerate anything but the outgroup, except me because I am enlightened and tolerate everything
*tips brown trillby*Or maybe it's just because I have not yet found an outgroup
Yeah I'll go with that
Speaking of poorly photoshopped photos of candidates (and Barack Obama),
http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/02/18/marco-rubios-campaign-accuses-ted-cruz-of-deceitful-altering-of-photo/
Christ, real life shitposting, all I can say is let us dispel once and for all this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. Barack Obama is undertaking a systematic effort to change this country, to make America more like the rest of the world. That's why he passed Obamacare and the stimulus and Dodd-Frank and the deal with Iran. It is a systematic effort to change America. When I'm president of the United States, we are going to re-embrace all the things that made America the greatest nation in the world and we are going to leave our children with what they deserve: the single greatest nation in the history of the world.
