I live in Southern New Mexico in a small town. Our downtown is two blocks long. Every third Friday we have an Art Walk in that area. Over the few years we have had this event, it has steadily evolved. For a while, it was sparsely attended and of a somewhat limited venue. It was originally designed for local artisans to show their wares. But in the past six months it has become much more. And with a far greater attendance. Yet a word here on the population.

This region is ethnically and racially diverse with a long history of cooperative community. All groups seem to openly blend and work together. Of course there are problems but the various cultures here have shown harmony over many decades. On these Friday nights, we now have cultural singers and dancers perform, letting all there participate. A fun addition is the growing participation of cosplay people, even the kids get dressed up. The customs lend this extra element of festiveness. Watching the carefree and happy mingling of parents and children of these various backgrounds and traditions is extremely heartwarming. It is a joy to be there. Then there is the dark cloud of Trump with his r****m and xenophobia, his White separatism, steadily moving in this direction to asphyxiate the smiles and laughter and togetherness. Making rifts. Turning people against each other. Ending the joy.

I may be wrong but that is what I see and it seems very real. To be there with these people would make you just as protective and concerned. You would do anything to keep any harm from happening. And that is the bottom line on why I post as much true raw sewerage on Trump on this site. The thought of seeing even those smiles dimmed a bit or their ease stymied a moment is heart-wrenching. I see Trump as a Grinch who loves causing disruption and trouble just because he can. His mindless crusade to make America splinter into warring factions for the sake of some Nationalistic nightmare to end cultural diversity for a dream of dystopian America First White hegemony is h**eful.

Don't you think it just a tad bit funny that you ask for proof of what's going on right in front of you....yet you claim that every news outlet with the exception of Fox is 'f**e news.' So, unless the i***ts at Fox say so, you're not going to accept it. Sadly, that is the exact same way the Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and others where able to take over their nations and become dictatorships. If you want a dictator, then why not move to Russia or North Korea? I suspect that people like you don't really want 'proof' - you just want to continue rolling around in this putrid bed of hatred that Trump is currently providing. sad.

jedi: You like most iberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views , but are shocked and offened to discover when there are other views. A society is only as free as its ability to discern the t***h – but what we lack in naiveté, we gain with the assimilation of yet another administrative branch: Department of Dissemination and Propaganda, formerly known as “the people's voice” and free Press.

Here are a few examples highlighting the left-wing media's complicit lies:

Hands Up, Don't Shoot was really about r****t police officers...LIE!
The Boston Bombing wasn't about Islamic Extremism...LIE!
Obama's Affordable Care Act is affordable...LIE!
B******i attack on U.S. embassy was caused by an obscure YouTube video...LIE!
Justice Department's Fast and Furious operation unknown to administration...LIE!

And now we have a new movement changing all that! MAGA to you puppy!

Here you go, something you guys are ardently familiar with: If I don't see it in the news then it didn't happen....just f**e news! If you think that returning to the outward blatant r****m of the early 1800's is MAGA...then you are also an i***t....that's not going to happen buddy....not in your miserable life time, nor in mine.period. But since two can play at the same game, try these:

-Monica was a setup perpetrated by Linda Tripp and the republicans who were angry that Clinton wanted to help minorities - TRUE
-Whitewater was a lie perpetrated by disgruntled lawyers who did not make huge profits from the Clintons sale of real estate - TRUE
-B******i was the fault of republican leadership who refused Hillary's THREE requests for more security at the embassy - TRUE
-Uranium One is a republican h**x to discredit Hillary because there were 9 agencies required to approve the sale of 20% of our uranium....all 9 agreed it was a good deal - TRUE
-Hillary could not collude with Russia even if she wanted to because Putin h**es her to death - TRUE
-Your republican leaders wanted to dismantle the ACA -but insisted on keeping the ACA to cover them and their families - TRUE
-White 'nationalism' is a covert term for white r****m - TRUE
-Trump and much of the republican leadership is guilty of treasonous acts with Russia - TRUE
-Your president is ugly - TRUE
I can go on with this all day -how about you?

JoyV: it is no ones job to prove anything to you...why don't you do your own research? Better yet, why not just open your eyes, ears, and brain that God gave you and look what's going on around you. Trump claims he wants to "Make America Great Again" - greater than what? Greater how? What is apparent from his actions is he wants America to be like it was 150 years ago when the white man ruled all and no other culture had any say about anything, including the way they were treated. People like you who attempt to put "proving it" back on others are weak and simple minded people who look to take the easy way out.....basically, just pathetic. However, because I know how you think, here you go:

Trump, on national television, has insulted Hispanics: "You look at what they're sending us, they're not sending good people...they are sending us rapists and drug dealers....." [if you truly believe all Hispanics are criminals then you are not too bright]

Trump has said, "Muslims are terrorists.....and we need a ban to keep the country safe...." [so now ALL Muslims are terrorists because he said so right? If you really believe that, I have big bridge in New York I would like to sell you!]

Trump has mocked the disabled, insulted multiple minority groups, and promoted w***e s*******y....and on top of all that, he may have actually colluded with Russia to steal the e******n. Stop the juvenile bs.....you don't need proof....you need an excuse for being duped....sadly though, the only person to blame is you!

Don't you think it just a tad bit funny that you ask for proof of what's going on right in front of you....yet you claim that every news outlet with the exception of Fox is 'f**e news.'
