Given the modern age of the 21st century, sexism, racism are only in the minds of liberals and not real events?

I asked an honest question which proceeds from observation, not fixation. Further, you proceed from the incorrect conclusion that I am a democrat.

To the Trump supporters here. What is your reasoning for banalizing Trump's behavior? In particular, misogyny, incessant lies, condoning violence and so forth.

There are other funding organizations mentioned in your link. Why not accuse those of some dark conspiracy instead of singling out George Soros.

What proof do you have regarding Soros?

Is this the one where he stated his supporters were nasty and vicious. Like I said, Trump is a narcissistic egomaniac who encouraged violence during his campaign. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-supporters-violent_us_5854c489e4b08debb7896896?vvrs37e99zveu3di

It appears that Trump wants to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. That move will inflame the Muslim world.

Watching 'The Man in the High Castle' on Amazon. Excellent drama regarding the dangerous nature of propaganda and the damage to millions of lives. The propaganda was based on a few films. Based on a novel by Philip K. Dick. Addendum; The series deeply delves into fascism and authoritarianism.

Alex Jones edits video to create the big lie! It was very obvious given the sloppy editing.

It is Hillary's fault again? Proof? Please move on from this unfounded accusation.

I keep myself apprised on the China situation and the recent theft of the US Navy's unmanned research sub by the Chinese Navy. The South China Sea is a hotspot of contention given that international waters are in dispute. It appears that Trump has inflamed the situation with his phone call to Taiwan and subsequent statements regarding a one China policy. Trump has not demonstrated that he understands diplomacy, in the least.

What about critical thinking/self analysis so as to understand why one is susceptible to the subtleties of propaganda?

Lest we forget 'the big lie' which was masterfully refined by Hitler and his murderous henchmen. Larger than life lies are always based on a small morsel of truth and are commonly use by politicians and wannabes Paring down the vocabulary to a grade school level.

In general, the media is incrementally making use of 'the memory hole'. And not to forget Emmanuel Goldstein as the supreme enemy of the state.

I was referring to Trump's great wall which may never see the light of day.

I attempt to see the present political issues in a historical context, behavioral tendencies i.e, speech, body language and so forth. I take seriously what Trump is saying on a daily basis along with his choices of cabinet/administration and nepotism by allowing his children and son in law to participate. Moreover, his business conflicts of interest are especially troubling in that he could be easily blackmailed by any number of groups and foreign governments. It is difficult to be in denial after having served during Vietnam which was a shock for a small town (1200 population) person such as myself. Two guys from my hometown were KIA in Nam. I would encourage everyone here to visit the Vietnam Memorial in D.C. I was there in 1986.

I guess you can't handle a spirited debate?

BTW, propaganda has been a part of the military industrial complex for decades and I guess long before you were born. No news to me.

Cut out the condescending remarks about holding my hand. Where in the hell do you come up with this? Further, the Pentagon amount I believe is stated somewhat high on the Russian TV site you linked to. You will need to do better than that.

You assume much that has not yet occurred. Trump has used fear to a great extent and I will not be bullied by his use of it. Further, the Russian problem is a complex one, as opposed to simplistic as some propose and are welcome in another thread. Trump wants to cut taxes and yet spend on national infrastructure, walls, military and so forth which will increase the debt.

You appear to support Trump and are welcoming him with open arms. Trump lies and contradicts himself every five minutes and if you voted for him then you have brought this on yourself.

Thanks! I am no fool when it comes to what is happening in this country. It appears that the machine is in control, at the same time out of control, with no one in the drivers seat.

I have seen the succession of presidents picking up where the preceding one left off. E.g. Obama's national security state has been expanded from what Bush set in place and I imagine Trump with his 'stop and frisk' will expand the state further. BTW, Rep. King is proposing a national registry for Muslims. Will we see a repeat of Japanese internment camps? Santa Fe had an internment camp which held 4500 prisoners which was a national disgrace!

Some points can apply to Trump as well as Obama. By extension, many past presidents.

Of course! Tie in your multi point post with Trump's presidency.
