Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

“You’re going to find Muslims that aren’t being antagonistic or mean, at least not publicly. But I’ll guarantee, if they get power, they’ll cut your head off as believers of Christ,” he said.
Really, such vile people. Filled with hate and lies and truly believing themselves to be good people. The self-delusion is impressive.
Helps to remember that this shit is 100% pure projection.
Licking their would be oppressors boot isn't working out for them? I bet they thought that they were one of the good Muslims and would get an exemption from the discrimination as a result.
Hussein sounds like a dumbass.
Well yea, he’s a fucking republican
I have a hard time wrapping my mind around how stupid some people are
Radical Muslims have a lot in common with conservatives.
They share many of the same hatreds but not always the same goals...
If you read osama bin ladens 911 manifesto you can see that conservatives adopted every last one of his beliefs except for the anti-ursury stuff.
The commonality is how much they believe in the fervor of their religion and hate you for yours.
This is genuinely fucking hilarious
"They rejected me, called me racist slurs, and demand I get out of their country before.. but surely this time, THIS TIME, they'll accept me!"
Halabi, a teacher, declined to say how she would vote in November, but said that she is a Republican and always votes.
They're still voting. Are you?
leopards ate my sajjadah
What a fucking idiot. The GOP has been brazenly anti Muslim for almost 30 years, they've always been xenophobic.
But you see he thinks he is one of the good ones. Surely he will be accepted as the in group.
Literally what carried them to popularity after 9/11 was they siezed the chance to make the public irrationally terrified of an (all things considered) benign and innocuous minority. Their whole platform FOR THE ENTIRE 21ST CENTURY has been, "Fuck anybody who isn't us, and that goes double for Muslims."
They’re just house slaves vs the field slaves to the republicans. Just as disposable, but somehow they think they aren’t viewed the same.
Did he just sleep through years of, "Barack HUSSEIN Obama"? The fuck, bro, they put a stank on your name like that one canned fish that should be opened underwater.
Surströmming out here catching strays.
first party cleansing... more will follow: blacks, asians anyone looking different and once that has been dealt with anyone who deviates one iota from party line... where did we see that? Oh right Nazi, USSR, China... funny thing their biggest scare is "communism" yet they follow the same playbook
I suggest they start having weekly struggle sessions.
In what should be a surprise to absolutely nobody...
Every time I hear the term "Log Cabin Republicans" or "Blacks for Trump" or "Hispanics for Trump" or about these Muslims going to GOP things, or about trad wives....all I hear is:
Jews for Hitler
...which was a real thing. People have not only not learned history, they absolutely refuse to learn from it even if they know some of these things.

It’s ironic
“Unity drives victory.”
Yeah, they like unity, not diversity.
Uniformity.
They shoulda took the hint from how the log cabin republicans were treated.
They were on the other side with the others mocking the log cabin republicans.
"They came for the gays, but I didn't stand up because I wasn't gay and I didn't like them either because my shitty bigoted Islam and their shitty bigoted Christianity told us to hate the gays, so it was okay, but the bigotry against ME is where I draw the line"
Probably thought they were cool after Trump picked Kash Patel to head the FBI.
Is he even Muslim though?
Nope, but he's brown and from that same general direction so I guess they thought they were okay.
According to Wikipedia Patel was raised in the Hindu faith. All these idiots are pick-me white worshipers.
There is 'ein volk' and Muslims are not in it.
My neighborhood has a lot of Bhutani and Nepali immigrants and when I was canvassing last year a surprising number of houses had the older generation as Republicans and the younger generation as Democrats.
Seems like a lot of people don't recognize that they aren't "in on it" until it's too late.
It was just weird to me. I’m wondering how someone with limited English would make that kind of decision. What were their criteria? What did they base it on?
At the end of the day I blamed it on what I blame everything on: Reagan. These were Boomer age folks who remember the gilded 80s in US pop culture.
But I would love to explore it more deeply. Is being conservative common with immigrant parents?
I'm wondering how someone with limited English would make that kind of decision. What were their criteria? What did they base it on?
"Family values", opposing abortion, limiting women's rights....
You know. Conservative.

Leopards and faces.
I mean, really, do these guys not understand just what the Republican party truly is? Same for the conservative "movement"?

Hey - I know Rick Scarborough.
He's a bastard.
Fun fact: I really had to search for this, academic websites are erasing a key line and I didn't bother with .gov, the reasons should be obvious.
