Comments by "D Mc" (@dmc8092) on "Two Possible Outcomes with Trump in 2017 | DIRECT MESSAGE | Rubin Report" video.

  1. You can't actually deny that white supremacists have gotten behind Trump.

  2. I think the calls of false oppression are no longer primarily coming from the left. A friend of mine was in the Midwest recently and was told that they were glad Trump won because "The gays will finally get what they deserve". I don't think the left is currently the main threat--though we can't ignore what goes on there.

  3. I think the left and the outrage has gone too far--but I also think that actual bigots use Dave Rubin and his videos as cover for their actual bigotry. Dave will have to address this at some point but it seems he blocks people who try to address it like Eiynah at Polite Conversations.

  4. gary wood Yeah, 'cause they're such a threat. What a stupid comment.

  5. gary wood Bullshit.

  6. gary wood This is where you rightists go off the rails. You rightfully call out the threat of Muslims but you act like there's no threat from the right.  It's completely dishonest.

  7. Gamerofthe21stcentry He also hasn't done anything to discourage them. I didn't say he's a white supremacist but he's not doing anything to stop them--which is just as bad.

  8. Gamerofthe21stcentry He really hasn't. Not in any meaningful way. It's always circular.

  9. Gamerofthe21stcentry Or, actually fight against that bigotry taking power in our country.  Of course, that means we'll be called SJWs by rightists.

  10. Gamerofthe21stcentry Do you call people who criticize white supremacists SJWs?

  11. Steve Regal We can and should fight both.

  12. Steve Regal I didn't say that racism exists at those levels and I'm not arguing that it does. I'm saying that white supremacists got behind Trump, and, in this country, white supremacists are dangerous.

  13. Steve Regal Except that he has accepted their backing and has not come out against their philosophy. To act like he doesn't know or doesn't welcome their support is just disingenuous.

  14. Steve Regal In regards to this he should give one of his speeches, not that it matters anyway because he's always on every side of any issue and even when he says something in a concrete way he later laughs it off. In regards to this he should give a very strong repudiation instead of saying he doesn't know who these people are.

  15. Steve Regal Yes. He said he didn't know who David Duke was. He has never repudiated this movement in any meaningful way.

  16. Steve Regal Also, I don't care if he, himself is racist or a white supremacist. He used them to get in office and with his rhetoric and lack of any repudiation has energized them. It doesn't matter what he feels in his heart.

  17. Steve Regal Why are you so set on making it okay that he has welcomed the support of white supremacists?

  18. Steve Regal I have never said that Trump is a white supremacist. I have said that he hasn't discouraged them and I stand by that fact. I also think that if he isn't a white supremacist and hasn't discouraged them that makes his a horrible person as well. If he's not a bigot but has used these people's bigotry to gain power that is just as bad and possibly worse. Now, if you're still trying to argue that I said he's a white supremacist you can just stop because that has never been what I've said.

  19. Steve Regal If a person is not a bigot and yet stokes the bigotry of others for personal gain that makes him worse than the bigots. A little interview doesn't make it all right.

  20. Steve Regal So, you're triggered by those words. That's not my problem. And why do I need to offer a solution? My solution is that we need to point out that these groups exist and have been empowered by Trump. You seem to think that just pointing them out is some kind of problem. We need to fight them just as we fight other extremists.

  21. Steve Regal If we can't call white supremacists bigots then words have lost their meanings. Its so great that you "believe" racism is evil. What a brave and controversial thing to say.  Now you just need to stop defending racists. Also, trying to move the goal posts is just not going to work. Suddenly saying that I need to have a solution to racism is just bullshit.

  22. Steve Regal So, now we get it. You want to say you're against racism but you don't like it when we call racists names. Good for you. Strong stance. You'll fit right in with the Trump years. The truth is, you haven't really been able to defend your argument so you've tried shifting the goal posts and I didn't go for it. And now that you've shown yourself as the rightwing nut job white supremacist apologist you are I really have no further use for you.

  23. gary wood He blocks people who call him out. Sam Harris didn't seem to have a problem talking with her. I did listen to that podcast and found it really informative.

  24. gary wood Nah. He blocks people who question him at all.
