I read comments on this forum and on the ECCIE Worldwide Political Forum. I can't remember people referring to Conservatives as a group and blasting them. Everyday I read derogatory remarks about "Liberals", or "Libtards" or "Lefties" on one of the 2 forums. Every one who is liberal is lumped together and blamed for everything wrong in this world. See post #2 in this thread. And #3. I consider myself a Liberal only when compared to other Texans. I am a registered Republican and never voted for a Democrat until Obama yet I am included with every one left of center, even those WAY left of center.
Second point on hatred. I have never seen such dislike expressed against a group of people as SOME Trump supporters are showing towards Muslims. I can't believe the number of memes posted that are anti-Muslim and totally factually incorrect. As one person said "Get a life". Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

They just assumed that she was "with them" - they did not have enough respect for her presence to ask her - Well, who are you for? Nope--they just made an assumption - which was wrong- but this is what the left does. Either you are with us - or you are a raciest,blah,blah,blah. They keep that crap up - they won't ever come up in the electorate. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen

Let's also not forget that the Swedish are truly now looking at us not with the amusement over the choice of our president that they first had, but true alarmen the over how long we are going keep him as are president.I truly hope that the sentiment reflected in the post above is not shared by a vast majority of the USA population.
I hope that is spelled correctly. Damn auto-correct and ph calls at the same time. Originally Posted by FirePhoenix

While it is understandable that political ideologies might clash, the thought that political bias would cause someone to cast their sense of national pride aside is truly horrifying.
Is it really so heinous that Trump started a conversation about the failed immigration policies of Europe? As a USA citizen, are you really that concerned that elected officials in Sweden take offense to having light cast upon their immigration failures?
The point of Trump's comments is that there has been a massive social cost associated with the refugee policies and the immigration policies of Western Europe.
Fifty years of failed immigration policy is now erupting in Europe. The USA is not paying any attention. We’re not drawing any of the obvious lessons from it. It's not working. That's the real point here of Trump's comments.
The European immigration integration policy is an abject failure and it’s in the process of totally changing these ancient cultures into something different and much more volatile and much more threatening. The USA should reflect upon the European failures and have a serious conversation about this. Trump is starting the conversation. What are the lessons we should draw from this? That’s the conversation we should have.
Truth be told, the USA should be wary of comments coming from any elected "leaders" in Sweden. It seems highly likely that the Swedish "leaders" would paint a rosy picture of an otherwise dismal situation. Originally Posted by veedub63
