    I read mein kamp does that make me a nazi in your opinion? I read parts of the Koran does that make me a muslim? I read the art of war does that make me an expert on warfare?

    Everyone should read Mein Kampf, it's fascinating to get Hitler's take on world war 1 especially.

    Doesn't sting me, but the point is made. And before you say, Henry Ford wasn't president, let's also remember that all we have to supposedly link Trump to the nazis and supremacists are inferences from statements that just aren't equivocal enough for people who hate the guy to begin with.

    I was talking about stinging for someone who identifies with liberalism such as myself albeit mine is more like diet liberalism.

    @Winston1 said the same. I don't live down there so I am privy only to what I read online or hear from you guys. That said, I did see where Beauvoir had offered to display them and I think that would be an appropriate placement for them.

    In one weekend Trump has successfuly managed to have the Dems align with ANTIFA and have the media define his "base" as Racist bigots.

    There might have been what? Less than a 1,000 Neo Nazi's present and now the entire group are racist bigots.

    I know you think that this will only strengthen his base, but seriously the republican's biggest nightmare is an awake opposition. Because let's face it, the higher the voter turnout the more likely a democratic victory.

    what's successful about that,.. Trump is a divider. He will achieve nothing and will be remembered as a failure.

    I'm pretty sure that he feels like this will only strengthen Trump's base and have them even more furious. While that may happen Trump is also strengthening his opposition.
