I know what visceral means and it is far from an accurate description of the way many people respond to Trump, which isn't the least impulsive or sudden. It's more a daily observation of behaviour unacceptable for any person close to the levers of power.

Of course others are also unacceptable and need to be called out, their regimes ostracised and punished with sanctions, and their people supported in their resistance. None though are President of the USA and leader of the western world. It's that which sets him apart.

You went through it to keep a tiny bit of Britain....still British....again I tip my hat.

I remember my old Grandad in the late seventies/early eighties. He didn't talk much about the war other than snippets, he went through Italy......He didn't like Churchill but didn't say why, though I think it was because he was a Labour man through and through.

Moaned about his hip a lot though, it was hard for him to walk without pain....moaned about the pain for years and years.....had his hip replacement surgery and was loving the new pain free freedom.....then he died six months later.

Life's a b1tch.

Mmmm...that has a bit of that 'western supremacy' about it.

I should link you to the Proud Boys sign up page.

The way some post on here, despite the faux patriotism, you could be forgiven for concluding that they would actually have been happier if we had lost the war.

No immigrants with unacceptable skin colours or religious beliefs. No leftists. A paradise for some?

All the political philosophy around will make your head spin. I'm slightly interested in it. A personal thought: one thing I don't think can last, if we want good governance, is the party system,in its current form. It leads to partizan generalisations and general mud slinging, rather than a cohesive, decisive, just system.
What to replace even that though? Nothing is ever perfect. Sorry to go off piste y'all, will say no more.

Red and Blue Army!

Where did you get that dumb idea from?

The simple fact is that Leftists, Liberals and their ilk have used the atrocities of WW2 as an excuse to drum up modern day paranoia in the same way that slavery has lead to an absurd level of White guilt among the easily indoctrinated.
For christ sake, we have people in Britain who want to claim widespread racism here and stir resentments because a Black drug addict and violent criminal got killed resisting arrest in another country.

Do you need any more evidence that activism doesn't care about the real world?
