windwalker Posted November 17, 2018 a little more by Dinesh D'Souza, Quote Wait, if Republicans are the fascists, why are these leftists trying to shut down an event and block free speech and debate from taking place on the campus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windwalker Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Quote Jason Eric Kessler (born September 22, 1983) is an American white supremacist[1][2][3], neo-Nazi,[4][5][6] and far-right political activist.[7][8][9] Part of the alt-right, he is known for being the main organizer of the white nationalist Unite the Right rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia during August 11–12, 2017.[10][11][12] some points brought out in the Dinesh clip. Labeled an American white supremacist, who until in the same yr was an American white fascist who supported Obama until very recently.... not mentioned. Quote n an interview last month, one of Kessler’s childhood friends, David Caron, said Kessler previously had identified as a Democrat, but became disillusioned when he started thinking that there was no place for him in a party that has focused its efforts on embracing diversity and minority issues. He said the two of them had started supporting Trump last summer and attended one of his rallies in Richmond. Quote “He was a Democrat until last year. The main thing is, he said he felt like the party didn’t want him,” Caron said. ‘All over the place’ Laura Kleiner, a Democratic activist who lives in Staunton, said she dated Kessler for several months in 2013. She said Kessler was very dedicated to his liberal principles, and that he was a strict vegetarian, abstained from alcohol and drugs, embraced friends of different ethnicities and was an atheist. Dedicated to his liberal principles ie fascists, until he finds another outlet for them.. An opportunist, a "liberal" who is now attached to Trump by the media because it fits a media driven narrative.

Did Pilgrim say something that could be interpreted in a way he likely didn`t intend? I must have missed it. Leave it to you to go ilumairen ambiguous sentences. Anyway, when someone has my back (like the two of you) I don`t quibble. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apech Posted November 17, 2018 I think the vertical axis (authoritarian/libertarian) is more significant than left/right in some ways. So people in the bottom left box want some level of 'compassion' in government policy but generally would like to be left alone to get on with their lives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was curious, although the test itself didn't have a neither agree nor disagree option for some of the questions. And I suspect part of what we're seeing here is what was highlighted in a video Apech shared awhile back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
