"deport millions of others"-illegal immigrants. They have no right to be there in the first place. - So says you."- So I say? What do you mean? They're illegal immigrants. They're by definition criminals. Why is breaking the law something so accepted when it comes to immigration.

"White supremacists are as much of an existential threat to the values of western society as religious fundamentalists like ISIS." - No, they're not. ISIS is a terrorist organization that regularly claims dozens of lives. White supremacy and white nationalism are simply ideologies. How many crimes where actually done by either of those groups in the recent years? The two groups are simply not comparable.

"Also, he's buddying up with Russia who is relentlessly trying to weaken Europe to leave the likes of us weaker and poorer." How? Russia is a country that constantly gets demonized by mass media. I don't know about you, but I prefer that two of the strongest nations in the world to be in good relationships rather than war.

"When he tells women they don't get the right to choose what happens to their own bodies, he's against those things." Maybe we agree on the rest of that paragraph, but not this. I want to say that I'm mostly against abortion. Freedom is defined as doing anything you want as long as it doesn't infringe other people's freedom. When there are other lives at place, it's no longer about your body. I'd could go on about this, but I'd just be rambling.

"But for the black people getting shot by police, for the muslims who live in fear that their rights will be taken away and their livelihoods destroyed, for the women who'll see planned parenthood defunded and who now live in a culture that rewards a man accused of rape and who wantonly brags about assaulting women with a fucking presidency"

First off, the real number of innocent black people shot by police is much much smaller than the media makes it out to be. Second, something many people seem to fail to realize is that the rights of minorities, LGBT community are constitutional rights. To overturn them you don't only need the president and the government, you'll need the approval of most states to overturn those rights. Which is highly unlikely to ever happen.

Again, I'm against planned parenthood. "Accused" is the key word. Isn't it a strange coincidence that most of these accusations came after he became a candidate? We live in a system with the principle "Innocent until proven guilty." And seriously man, why is everyone so obsessed with the "grabbing them by the pussy" comment? What's so sensational about it? He said in that tape that "they let you". I'm pretty sure it's not assault if the women consent it.

"He's a fucking moron." Fair point. Also a sleazebag.

"Make no mistake, they will cut it, and leave nothing in its place." How do you know that?

"nd the wall is retarded; a big fucking expensive piece of "won't even work" backed up by nothing more than racism and xenophobia." It may be impractical to afford, but why? A significant number of illegal immigrants still arrive every year. The fence is obviously not fool proof. And why do you say it's motivated by "racism and homophobia"? It's not likely he wants to built it to magically prevent legal Muslim and Mexican immigrants. They'd still be able to pass.
