Trump's Cult is showing the WORLD, it can't trust "white people"! You must show there's a difference

You should not want to be SWEPT UP in being considered as part of such madness by the color of your skin.. in such ways !!!!!!!!!!!!


Don't get caught up is being assumed to be a part of that Cult based on the color of your skin. Only you can distinguish yourself from such assumptions by the world of people and the world of nations.

The oddity is: just being of white skin, it is easy for the world of people to assume "the image sweeps up the liberal white people into the mix".... BECAUSE the world of nations and their people don't know the difference between what is a Liberal Minded White Person, and what is the difference in a Right Wing Republican Minded White Person'. Much of the world just see... "white people" as being the make up of Trump & Republican followers.

You as an individual, must be proactive to distinguish yourself as a white person, away from the Rabid Right Wing White People

For the white people who think it does not impact them, may need to consider again, because the world is seeing "white people" as being the make up of this madness", as they see daily the images of "white people" in the Trump and Republican Regime.

IF... the Liberal Minded White People want to distinguish themselves, they need to "start writing content and speaking out" against the Rabid Right Wing White People. IF they fail to do so, they will be swept along in the "image the world is getting about white people. More and more white people today, are willing to make it known, they are not like the Rabid Right Wing Racist and Uneducated and Belligerent White People... and it takes even more to take such a stand.

Many white people are not use to having to take up such a fight and challenge, because historically, they could just get by on silence. Only today, "silence" leave the world to assume they are part of, or passive supporters of the Rabid Right Wing Racist and Uneducated and Belligerent White People. Today, they don't have a choice, unless they want to be seen by the people across the world as being passive supporters.

It's like the history of Segregation, all the white people who sat silent, and assumed it did not affect them, beause they considered themselves not to be racist, BUT their silence unfortunately by the act of being silent, aided and abetted the ongoing of Segregation by appearing as passive supporters of it. .


All the white people who say they are not racist, have a duty to themselves and to society, to began to write content and speak words that distinguish themselves from the Racist Whites. It's not enough to just think within themselves that they are not Racist, they have to this time "Stand Up and Proclaim Themselves as Not Being Racist"..

IF they fail to do so, they become enablers by the silence being taken and demonstrated as co-dependency by the Racist and the Racist see them as 'enablers". The racist use the silence of the Non Racist, to do the same as that silence did during Segregation, it was likened as being endorsements by the Racist of their Race Driven Madness.

Silence and Passive Non Expression does not serve the Liberal Minded White People very well. The fears that were present in the Liberal Minded white people during the segregationist era that was considered as a form of support of segregation. Such passivity and silence served for too long as being a form of support that embolden racist white people to continue their vile and violence, their malice and mayhem.

Trump and his gang of today, see the silence of the Liberal White People, as being nothing more than passive endorsement.

People who are not racist, often skip right over posting that speak about these things, and address the truths of the result of silence, is often, not only overlooked, it gets low readership, and even lower Rec's that it does not stay active long enough for others to read it. While some have purposeful intent to bury the thread comments as quick as possible.

This site's members should be continually speaking our and writing content and sharing links to increase the population participation in this site. All Democrats need to know this site exist, but if the people within it are just content to be part of the site, and think being a part is all that is necessary, then they don't do the greatest service to the existence of this site.

I don't know how they can fix it, where posting are not buried by the minute, and Although one ideas is: Maybe they should put a daily archive scrolling log with links, where people can quickly find post. or develop a key word search so post can be found and shared. Maybe something can be done where all Democratic Politicians can have a link to the site on their websites. Or promote the site to the Media, so the media can get the word out, that this site exist.
But, to make that truly work.. it may well require members, to "CREATE CONTENT" and expand and expound on subject matter with content, that helps those who find the site, hear more than puns, and slap stick sarcasm, and joke styled one liners. People respond in their minds to "content", it gives them 'SUBSTANCE of Dialog", to actually talk about, to actually share and to actually learn from in a great many cases, and for some, it helps inspire them to improve upon their own thoughts. But the great thing that 'actual content does" is ... it helps build the fire in the bellies of people to want to vote, and it may well help inspire people to be determined to get out and vote.

We know, people can convince themselves to do or not do anything. Therefore, the greater benefit of this site if people write more content, can give people something to help that fire heat up the passions where they have no doubt about getting out to vote.

Jokes and puns, may give people a laugh for a second, but beyond the giggle, its like getting a sugar fix, and then crash dive when the sugar quickly dissipates. But... substance in content, helps feed and nourish people, and nourishment give people strength.

When I first signed on, some made crazy comments as if they were some "super democrat" because they had a few thousand post, never stopping to think... they only get One Vote... if they want to feel like a super democrat if that's what they seek... Then create content that helps attract and inspire and motivate others, even if it has to be done through firm and direct address of truths.
We don't have time to be "thin skinned" and "we don't have time to be temperamental", and we certainly don't have time for anyone to seek to be patronized. We do have time... if we use it to do any and all we can... to reach out and push forward to attract new people, and helps them find the understanding, be it about history, about race about politics, and about the ways that it takes to make the Democratic Model move forth and be the unshakable force that it needs to be.

If we face the truth, which is, too many people who claimed to be Democrats and voted for Obama as well, became so fragile and passive, and susceptible to Republican Drama, until they turned and voted for Republican.

Others, abstained from voting and some even thought it to be something to brag about in doing so, while others threw their votes away, on Third party which was known not to have a chance of any level to become elected... Some don't even understand the disaster of "throwing ones vote away"... some have learned the results of throwing votes away, by seeking the madness of Trump and Republicans.

Take time and write out your "real and actual thoughts" with enough details to assure you make the distinction known.
Don't run from articles that speak of Racism, Don't be thin skinned and think being passive is the answer, Don't be reluctant to take a stand for yourself and demonstrate your distinction. Don't be afraid to make it know to everyone, that you are not of the mindset and make up of the Rabid Right Wing Racist and Uneducated and Belligerent segment of White People.


Just disliking Trump is not enough, you have to say what you stand for... not just a pun or sarcasm joke against trump, or the trump followers, but what is the real make up and details of your thoughts and your stand.

New readers and new people to the site, need to know what is the make up of your thoughts.... that's the benefit that forums afford the opportunity to present and demonstrate through content filled dialog. Brevity only survives briefly, but content has substance to be sustainable.

the people around the world don't know American politics, nor how to distinguish a liberal from a conservative, and to assume they do know, is not realistic..... now it is time to distinguish not just in America, but TO THE WORLD OF PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING.

One as an individual must distinguish ones-self in and by what they believe. that's an individual choice.. each person has to make.

To say it won't work... if not being of faith in the necessity that is necessary... you choose...

I choose the side of Dems.
I choose the side of progressives, and black people, and Hispanics.
I choose the side of the average working American.


We are all Democrats.

After 40 years of registering Democrat for strategic reasons, I am now very proud to be part of our grand, extremely diverse coalition. And on the right side of morality and history.

Other things progressive white people can do to take the side of minorities:
1. Go to protests and civic actions
2. Wear shirts or display signs saying things like “We are all immigrants” or “Immigrants are us”

Great ideas..... just to think it as we've seen is not enough, it has to continually be expressed and put out in the public expressively.

We need to know... is it telling us something? does it indicate people don't understand the value of speaking up and writing content? is it obstinate? is it that people don't believe the needs exist? Can someone explain what it may mean?

....it would be interesting to actually know what is the real thought within people, and how do they really see and think about the platform and what is their views about the platform agenda? I'd even like to know if they think they have a responsibility beyond just voting? I'd like to know what are their means and methods of distinguishing themselves, in ways that the world of people can understand?

Would anyone else like to know such things?
