Trump's going to recognize Jerusalem aa the Israeli capital, because some men just want to see the world burn.
I'm baffledWho is even asking for this ?
i'm confused about why trump did this as well. it's not like his base is pro-semitic.
You sure about that?
I'd say it's a strange republican thing to be very pro-the Israeli state.
Why? My best guess is that they're a group of somewhat white people surrounded by arabs. There's always been the republican cries for "supporting our allies" of Israel.

Well that's how every discussion about everything ever in America happens now.This is sort of what I was talking about in the earlier thread. Questioning people's motives for holding the political positions they do.
Why do Republicans support Israel? They hate Arabs! God told them to! It's like saying that progressives who are critical of Israel are simply antisemitic.
What a great conversation that is.
R: I support Israel. They're a strong US ally and the only free democracy in the region.
P: That's because you're an Islamaphobe. Israel is persecuting the Palestinians and stealing their land!
R: Antisemite!

SPIELBERG: We've lost the majority of good listeners, that our conversations have turned into skirmishes. We live in an area where we don't know a lot of red-state voters. Well, I know a lot because I have friends and family in other parts of this country, and so at dinner-table conversations outside of California, I'm completely mute or I get into these huge rows. The gray and the blue have become the blue and the red. And it is as vast a chasm as our nation faced before the Civil War. I've never seen anything like it.
MERYL STREEP: We don't know where north is. People disagree on what actual facts are. Whether this table is really a table.
LIZ HANNAH: We need to see each other. We need to look each other in the eye and know you're not a villain, you are not evil.

And of course he's not running for re-election. Opening the door for the crazy Right Wing to come in and take his place.

Basically with the GOP we are left with two options:
Trickle Down Economics / Gut Regulations
Alt Right and/or Bible Thumper Crazies
I understand that the other side has it's own divide
Corporate / Establishment
BernieBro
Difference is that on the Democratic side, some policies that help people get passed
The right has adequately defined the rift in the Republican Party.
The Democratic Party is behind if they're still identifying the rift as "corporate/establishment" versus "BernieBro ."
And the term BernieBro needs to die with a fire. People need to move past that obvious attempt to slander his campaign and admit that non-conventional politics and bigger expectations might be how elections will be won from here on out.
