Dingell: I got yesterday, from somebody, something called a confession. [Editor’s note: It was a viral, anonymous social-media post.] I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person. But I was born white into a two-parent household, which now labels me as privileged, racist, and responsible for slavery. I’m a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s standards makes me a fascist because I plan a budget. But I now find out that I’m not here because I earned it, but because I was advantaged … I think and I reason, and I doubt much of what the mainstream media tells me, which makes me a right-wing conspiracy nut. I’m proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture. It makes me a xenophobe.

That’s what I’m worried about. This letter right here is what worries me.

Godfrey: What do you mean?

Dingell: Donald Trump is trying to divide us with fear and hatred. And he’s using [these] wedge issues. I went to a neighborhood the other day and counted 100 Blue Lives Matter signs.

Her last statement pretty much reveals her mindset.

The Democrat rhetoric for 5+ years now has been mega anti-white. Then she hears someone express their views on that rhetoric and she immediately goes into blaming Donald Trump....

How can these people be so unaware? They seem to struggle deeply with self-reflection. They have no even a smidgeon of a thought that THEY could be the problem.

This why we call it TDS, because you have to deliberately ignore so many prevalent factors to conclude everything is Donald Trump's fault and nothing is your fault and Democrats are actually perfect, they just need to get that message out there better.

I think she and her mindset are the vocal minority, maybe not a tiny minority but a minority nonetheless. And I believe her inconceivable remarks and that mindset, and the arrogant open-airing of these types of inconceivable remarks, it's a certain arrogant mindset that places themselves even well above their own followers. They've chased quite a few people away, no doubt in my mind. We even see anecdotal evidence of that here on the board from time to time, more frequently so it seems to me. Posters mentioning friends or relatives who've had their fill.

Yuuge backfire coming down the pipe. They're lying to EVERYBODY, and once people realize just that once that they've been played for fools, it's an unforgivable insult. I can't wait until 11/3-4. They've simply shite the bed, Trump has rattled them to pieces and they are incapable of making reasoned decisions now. Yep, TDS.
