That was an awesome rant...keep holding onto that world-view..don't let reality pop that glen beck bubble you live in!
where every objective survey of happiness has plummeted despite ever increasing "tolerance" and "diversity" (everyone has to be tolerated, except for whites and males; everyone has to be respected, except for whites and males; every culture needs to be celebrated, except for European cultures and masculinity; everyone should be treated equally, except for whites and males; every option is available for women, except for traditional roles)?

I really hope you are either joking with this statement or VASTLY ignorant on what National Socialism is and stands for, because if not, what you just said is absolutely horrifying!
I don't care HOW bad you think the left is, they are no where NEAR as bad as the Nazis were and are. That is a very unfair comparison and tells me that your rhetoric isn't steeped in reality.

This rant, especially the last paragraph, might be better in the original German. I think I can hear the whine of the loudspeakers, see the flicker of the torches, and see the massed throngs saluting with outstretched arms....
Seriously, did you consider EXACTLY who this sounds like? You hit it all – the leftists must be “crushed”, “destruction” of the middle class, nationalism, the strong “leader” who will “ put out all doubt from the minds of the people,” disdain for academics...Do you know what you are doing?
If you are insinuating that my views coincide with those of Hitler and the National Socialists, I am honored. However, my views lay even further to the right than theirs. I would settle for fascism or National Socialism at the moment though, either one would be a massive improvement over liberal republicanism.

Really not a put down of you or politics or support of trump but I honestly do not care what Rickey Martin, Kim Kardashian or even Clint Eastwood thinks about politicians. You people are the highly paid court jesters. Go entertain. I know a lot of people do care if an entertainer thinks like they do, I am not one of them
Wait...you've confused me.....
are you not aware that Trump has been denigrating Hispanics since step one?
Or that Trump is a "celebrity" with his own "Hollywood Star"?
(It's because he's an 'entertainer')
Who are the court jesters again?
*cough*trump*cough

I won't get into a discussion of National Socialism is with you, I'm fairly certain we'd be bogged down immediately in a disagreement over the nature of the supposed holocaust. I'll simply say that National Socialism took Germany from a state of weakness very similar to the state of modern America and transformed it into a country so strong that it took the combined might of most of the rest of the world to put an end to their threat to central banking dominance.
We're going to make America great again, but that will eventually mean an end to liberalism and democracy.

If true democrats will be happy, republicans not so much. If not republicans will be happy and democrats not so much. The rest of us will sit back and laugh at all the supporters for believing at the top level there is any difference or that politicians regardless of party will solve anything.
Seriously, what's the last problem politicians solved. Not band aided, kicked down the road, plugged a part of it only to have another part of it spring up. Or temporarily "solved" only to have it come back worse than before? If you can't answer that question and still think your party is the solution. You're the problem

This is a result of American politics and having elections every two years. Everything has to be temporary in nature so that it can be used as a political issue again in the future. Nothing can be permanently solved, because if it is then there's no room for disagreement, reform, give, and take the next time renewing it comes up for a vote.
Dictators permanently solve problems. Elected officials who have to fight off challengers every two years don't.

Nope I haven't. How about posting some sources instead of just talking about it? And by sources, I mean sources that actually have numbers and historical facts in them. Not opinions and rhetoric.
I'm also still curious how he is going to overcome that VAST negative opinion he has among Hispanics, who AGAIN, are required to win the Presidency these days.
There are at least three reasons that Trump is likely to make a decent showing with Hispanic voters:
What’s the Republican alternative? Will Hispanics flock in droves to Mike Huckabee, Scott Walker, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, or much of the rest of the GOP presidential field? Not likely. Only two of the other 15 "also rans" could get in Trump's way with Hispanics in the GOP primaries: Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. And instead of speaking forthrightly about issues such as immigration, the Floridians often seem cautious and reserved in their comments as if they’re afraid of alienating white people. Here’s a warning to them, and politicians everywhere: When you flinch, Hispanics notice. Trump’s immigration hard line is not a deal killer with all Hispanics, many of whom want stricter border security. More than half of all Border Patrol agents — about 52% — are Hispanic. Moreover, the closer you get to the border, the more likely you are to find Hispanics who worry about the issue that Trump brought to light: the alleged criminal element coming across the border. That was true in Arizona, where a controversial immigration law requiring police to check the legal status of anyone with whom they came in contact found pockets of support among those who lived on the front lines. Hispanics are just like other Americans. And why not? In New Mexico and Arizona, some trace their family histories back seven or eight generations. Thus what appeals to many other people about Trump also appeals to them. Hispanics have been deceived and manipulated by both parties. And they’re hungry for a candidate who says what he thinks, doesn’t back down, hammers the news media, and doesn’t sugarcoat differences with opponents. Apart from substance, Trump will get points for his style which — during a hot summer — seems as refreshing as a cool breeze.
Krazy is a lot more logical and less emotional. Cudos Krazy on succeeding in your new resolution
Even if we disagree 100% of the time!

Don't care what entertainers think about politicians. Don't support trump, democrats or republicans. Not sure what your coughing about but whatever.
I was aware he was on some illegal immigrant kick, was not aware he was denigrating Hispanics in general but I'll look into it.
