Trump Watch August 16 2017

Day 200:

You can’t be a Nazi and a Patriot:

Just so you know, the Nazi’s, the south in the civil war, these people are the opposite of Americans. They stand for everything that we fight against.  You can’t be both, its just that simple.  If you think the Nazi’s or the South had the right idea, you are not an American Patriot.  You have the right to believe whatever you want, but you don’t stand for what this country was funded on.

Or to put it another way, fuck you and fuck your ideology.

These people are morally and mentally bankrupt.  Now is the time to counter attack with out best vision for the future.  Now is the time to introduce universal health care, raise the minimum wage, really go out there and present OUR vision of the future.

Our vision will win elections, but only if we run candidates who truly believe in a better future.
