Conservatives and the creation of click-bait politics

Ugliness from the right to whip their idiots into a frenzy.

Pretending this is a one sided thing is lunacy. Both sides seek out the craziest sect of the other side and do their best to make it sound like that's the norm for the other side.

I don't see it on the Dem side.

Step back then. There are plenty of articles that will have you believe the majority of Republicans are racist, or greedy, or unsympathetic to women's health, want to exterminate all the Muslims, etc. Huffington post is usually good for some of these.

Hopefully you have friends that vote both ways, and judge based on what you know of the people who vote a certain way, and not based on what you think based on what media, or quasi-news reporters will have you believe.

I know MANY smart, normal people who vote both ways. I know a FEW crazies on both sides too. I don't have to look very far down my facebook feed to see one person dissecting everything Trump says and turning it into something else that only a monster could think is good, while another person is posting about how Barack wants to take their guns away. But they're very much the minority.

If the majority of Republicans aren't into this kind of stuff, then why do they support guys like Trump who are?

Why do you support a guy that uses the military to kill little brown babies?

What a stupid argument. Trump has run on calling immigrant rapists and drug mules. Carson has said that Muslims shouldn't be allowed to be President. There is literally no candidate, right or left, who has run on killing brown babies.

Well first, Trump doesn't have Majority support, and likely never will. Secondly, believing Trump is racist and hates women is believe the exact click-bate propaganda that started this thread (just like believing Obama wants to take ALL the guns away). Trump is certainly greedy, and no sane person would dispute that, but a sane person might argue for or against greed being a good quality for a President.

So Trump is simply saying incredibly racist things just to get a rise out of people? Even if this was the case, isn't it embarrassing that the Republicans are rallying behind a guy like this to become our next President?
