Equally wrong.
Conversely, you can’t make peaceful protesters into rioters.
Well we can talk about it if you want Paul. The two authors of the Fascist Manifesto were committed socialists and they told us exactly why they wrote their manifesto.
This thread was about Trump’s speech and his rhetoric. Saying that someone critical of his speech is the one causing divisiveness is just wildly inaccurate.
You can have your own opinion, but not your own facts.
Perhaps you missed these divisive parts:
There is no doubt in anyone’s minds who he is talking about there. He is dividing the county according to their beliefs about confederate statues.
Likewise, he is again attacking his political enemies.
Now we see that attack on the news media and demonizing mention of the very political term “left”.
Now Trump even dropped the qualifier of “far” on “left”. Apparently the whole left wing is now the enemy. Is there any doubt yet that this meant to divide people?
Now we see overt attack on the political movement against certain statues. More politics. Apparently the audience gets it. At this point they burst into chants:
See? Even the audience present there sees it as a re-election campaign, in case anyone still has any doubts.
OK, now he denigrates Democrats, and renews his attack on the media and the educational institutions to boot.

Those “things” going on are political beliefs he (and more importantly, his loyal base) do not like. To decry those things in front of an adoring mob is not sign of bravery. But whether it is bravery or not, the “things” that Trump is reacting to are political beliefs that a large part of nation shares. His talk had the effecting of dividing his followers (the “good” people) from those “bad” people of the opposing political ideology. It is the textbook definition of divisive.
And yet, Italian Fascism was politically right wing and nationalistic.
Well, that’s true. What is also true is that the putative Democrat candidate for president has put AOC in charge of his climate/energy policy, and as you said: she is far left.
You may claim to discriminate between statues which the mobs should pull down and those they shouldn’t, but the Democrat leaders have not. They have in fact not condemned the attacks on the statues I mentioned. If @pattylt is typical of the left then that’s the difference between the left and the far left, and why I said the leadership of her party is, at least in the culture war, far left.
There is left wing nationalism and right wing nationalism.
Deaths and bashings and lootings and burnings and harassment and statue destruction and self declared autonomous zones are more than beliefs.
Saying his speech was divisive because it is critical is “wildly inaccurate” Have you ever heard the saying the pot calling the kettle black? Is it really about his speech? Did you hear his speech? Did you read it? Or is this really about what others opinions of his speech? This thread was really about opinion.
You want me to research events to disprove your ridiculous but not surprising charge?
I think it is quite appropriate to politicize the current attack on American culture by those who are opposed to it, just like Obama felt this should be politicized. Their attack on our culture, the Emancipation Monument Of all things, statues of Lincoln, Jefferson, Grant, and Washington.
Prove it.
He’s the president, for the love of God, not a petulant teenager! When will he act for the good of the country instead of soothing his hurt feelings?
I’m no political scientist but I think you are wrong.
No, saying the thread was divisive is a reasonable review of it. Show me where he was calling on all Americans to solve their differences and come together. I read his speech. In a time in which we need to stress unity and calm some of the divisiveness, Trump made it worse. So sad.
Catalonia nationalist party is left wing.
