dude. White people aren't immigrants.
For those who erupt, twitter-style, with outrage every time Donald says something obnoxious, you simply dilute the capacity to challenge him over time. You can call his supporters every identity-politics name in the book, but just like the girl crying wolf, soon those accusations will be diluted so as to become meaningless.
Do you think his supporters are chastened when you call them racist for the 10,000th time? Specifically for the word racist, I see accusations thrown around so much these days that I simply shrug now when I see them. If your go-to move is to accuse of racism, you've already lost. RIGHTEOUS OUTRAGE doesn't accomplish anything.
Also, rushing to the defense of Omar without knowing where she has stood on issues is a bad call. Trump is successfully baiting the left into strengthening the divisions within the democratic party, and forcing the demos to cement their support for Omar and AOC. The left is filled with suckers apparently. Omar has said despicable things and I will want to see her develop, for years, on the national stage before she gets even one ounce of my support. I'll choose Pelosi 1000X before any of these clowns calling themselves "the squad".
The democrats are so committed to the false idols of identity politics and balkanization through multiculturalism that they are losing the battle to frame the election.
Reparations, forced busing, Omar-as-exemplar, identity politics, these are all election-losing positions that the democrats are too stupid to avoid.
"Trump’s international origins make him relatively unusual among American presidents. Of the last 10 presidents, only two—Trump and Barack Obama—have had a parent born outside of the United States. Trump’s own immediate family has been similarly international: Two of his three wives were naturalized American citizens, originally from the Czech Republic and Slovenia. Only one of his five children, Tiffany, is the child of two American-born citizens, while his daughter, Ivanka, is the first Jewish member of the First Family in American history. But so far as his biographers have been able to tell, none of his international roots extends to Sweden."
Slovenia? Is that near Somalia?
Clearly racist
Clearly a serial liar
Sent Flynn to make deals with Russians before the inauguration
Uses his position as president to increase his hotel business
Blocks the IRS from releasing his tax returns requested under subpoena
His personal attorney is sitting in jail for committing financial crimes on his behalf.
Republicans don't care.
Democrats will not impeach.
He can do or say whatever he wants without impunity
He is a king
What was the American Revolution fought for and the Constitution written for?

So people should sit ion their hands while the POTUS makes blatantly racist statements. Or should they only address the most egregious examples of his racism?

As a reminder of how silly some of you folks - seemingly sane, non-trolling people, unlike the Trumpettes - can sound, I bring you this oldie but goodie:
"The F is going on?
Putin cancelled activities, pence cancelled his activities, rumors of european military activating." – agip
I said, "If he keeps torturing immigrants and kidnapping their children, those torture camps will be stormed and liberated."
I stand by that statement. Eventually, the squalid conditions will lead to disease and death. The DHS inspector general's report said:
"We are concerned that overcrowding and prolonged detention represent an immediate risk to the health and safety of DHS agents and officers, and to those detained."
One senior manager described the situation to the inspector general as "a ticking time bomb."
The American people will not stand by forever and allow these atrocities to continue. Either it gets solved politically or some will take matters into their own hands.
Yes, I know. I've seen you stand by lots of statements. Most of them wrong. Many of them embarrassingly so.
Keep standing by.
What gets missed by the Great Twitter Outrage is that only one thing matters, which is who wins elections. The democrats have become very good at noise and flashes of anger, but not things that win elections. Yes, a platform that includes reparations, forced busing, identity politics and that highlights for voters that people like "the squad" are the ascendant on the demo side, these are the positions that will lose the next round of elections. But, you'll have another four years to be outraged instead of in power, which apparently suits the left these days.

Wasn't the most recent election in 2018?
How did the Democrats do?

Send democrat pieces of trash back to where they came from.
Majority of Americans agree with Trump.
Just say no to immigration!
Wrong you racist piece of crap. Most Americans don't agree with racist trump and is lying comments about Americans who aren't white.
The irony is that trumps grandfather immigrated here from Germany and we all know that Germany was the most racist country during the first have if the 1900's (Hitler and the Nazi's)
You are mostly correct.
The saddest takeaway for the country is the 35+% of the population is just as racist and ignorant as Trump! They are happy being sheep to their tiny hands - bone spurred false king.
The Dems should focus on his complete lack of abilities as a leader which are nearly limitless.
The two most important issues facing Americans right now are ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and THE ECONOMY. Crying "racism" is the new mantra for the dems today.
Democrats want open borders, more free stuff for illegal aliens instead of prioritizing the needs of our own citizens and higher taxes on the middle class.
They are on the WRONG side of these issues and so out of touch with the centrist voter. This is why they have no chance, absolutely ZERO chance to beat Trump next year.

Waah, waah, waah. Sore loser, going on 3 years now. You are still butthurt because your girl lost. The popular vote isn't the way we determine the Potus election and you still can't get over it.
If Cankles won the EC and lost the popular vote, I would accept it and move onto the next election cycle without the constant crybaby attitude you libs have. Those are rules and you don't get to change them just because your candidate lost. Nominate a better candidate next time. Grow up.

On the other hand, he is the president of the United States, and he's saying some pretty bad and embarrassing things. Do you just ignore it and play it off as the new normal? That can be a dangerous game, but as you pointed out it all loses effectiveness over time and only reinforces Trump's position and power of deflection by saying stupid sh!t on Twitter. Maybe Trump is like a toddler and if he throws himself on the floor kicking and screaming then you just step over him and continue on your way not granting him the attention he clearly loves to get.
I think part of the problem is that a lot of people want to have their cake and eat it too, i.e. they want candidates that implement and embolden unrealistic far left/right ideas but they also want to win general elections. Politics is a nasty game of biting your tongue and knowing when to smile and just take it, and most people aren't great at that.
On the other other hand, acting like a psychotic retard with the stupidest far right platform ever did manage to get Trump a victory in 2016 after years of complaining and crying about Obama, so maybe Democrats are just adopting the new winning strategy.

Wrong on both counts.
Illegal immigration is a tiny issue. Dramatically smaller today than it was in the past. And ultimately mostly a plus for our economy (which, rather humorously, you ranked as the other most important issue).
The economy is doing well. Has been doing well since pulling through the financial crisis of 2008.
Much bigger issues are:
1) A foreign policy that is insane - making enemies of friends, making friends of dictators, losing influence throughout Asia-Pacific, dismantling free trade . . .
2) Propagation of an anti-truth culture.
3) Changing DC from a swamp with a few frogs into a swamp overflowing with Godzillas.
The two most important issues facing Americans right now is access to affordable healthcare for all and income inequality where all of the recent economic gains have have gone to wealthy individuals and corporations and not wage workers.
Majority of Americans agree and fully support trump on immigration.
Send them back to where they came from.
Just say no to immigration!
Democrats lose again!!!!
Trump will be easily re-elected in a landslide.

So you are admitting that Barrycare is a massive failure! We agree.
Incorrect on point #2. The unemployment decrease and jobs created under Trump remain strong. Long term 401Ks and IRAs are going strong. There will never be "income equality" and raising taxes on the middle class is a guaranteed loser. You have abandoned the centrist voter and your TDS has blinded you to the reality.
Trump has eliminated the fee for not having health insurance which means fewer will pay which means those that do pay higher premiums.
Trump has vastly reduced the advertising and administration budget for the insurance exchanges which reduces participation.
Many people even think Obamacare has been repealed.
Trump's efforts have reduced the affects of Obamacare and he has offered no replacement.
Yes, people have jobs. But the income to cost ratio which helps them buy things has been reduced for the middle class while corporations are buying back stock with their tax cuts.
And Trump's tariffs drive up prices for common consumables.
