Trumps been acting like a racist left and right. His go to defense of anything is to accuse whoever is attacking him of whatever it is they are using to attack him.

All of the conservative media are eating up the whole "Omar is anti-Semite, hates the country" lines that Trump keeps repeating. And they are able to get their viewers (especially the kind of viewers that love to shit all over liberal females....ahem....) to get all riled up and tweet about it or start new threads on forums.

You aren't hating on Omar because she's a racist/terrorist/piece of shit. You hate her because of her policies, which is fine.

You don't support Trump because he's a racist/scammer/lying piece of shit. You support him because of his policies, which is fine.

Trying to pull the whole "omg a racist!" card while at the same time pulling for Trump to get re-elected is bullshit.
Trump has a Jewish son-in-law whom he seems to like very much. Jared and Ivanka married at a Jewish ceremony in 2009.

Clearly not an anti-Semite.

Ilham Omar is an anti-Semite. She does hate the country. I've already cited examples. You'd have to be a brainwashed leftist drone to think otherwise. Be aware that I'm not saying that all left-wing Democrats hate America and/or Jews. For example, I don't believe AOC to be an America-hater, nor an anti-Semite.

As a Jewish person, I hate Omar because she's an anti-Semite. Yes, it's easier to hate her because she's also a left-wing Democrat, but it's really not about that.

I hate her the same way I'd expect a black person to hate an openly racist politician.

BTW, I don't believe Trump is racist, either. I don't believe he's particularly racially sensitive, but he's not a racist. The "examples" of him being a racist are incredibly weak, like the "fine people on both sides" thing, which I already explained. (BTW, if Trump was really supportive of the white nationalists by that statement, why did he say there were fine people on BOTH sides, when one of the two sides was there to protest them?)

I also see Trump for his faults. He's selfish. He's a narcissist. He's an asshole. He has never treated women respectfully. He likes to shoot from the hip without really considering things as much as he should. He has incredibly thin skin, and often acts hypocritically.

I do support him being reelected because, as you said, I support his policies far, far more than I do those of the Democrats. I will freely admit that I like some of the Democrats better on a personal level, but that's not why I vote for people.
