You think life is supposed to be simple and conform to your views.
Wow, assume much? While some issues
are simple, most are complicated, especially the further you go beneath the surface.
RE: "your world view seems to be shaped by a lifetime of white privilege and religious indoctrination"
Tow the liberal line much? Talk about
indoctrination.
If you don't think minorities have obvious privileges you're blind. How does Sarah Jeong, a "journalist" for the NY Times, get away with her outrageous racist op-eds/tweets? Asian privilege. How does Farrakhan get away with his constant racist blather? Why are severe black-on-white crimes swept under the rug by the lamestream media? How come the liberal media doesn't denounce black politicians in South Africa legally taking measures to seize the property of white citizens without compensation? Black privilege. How come Academia and modern films don't acknowledge the atrocities AmerIndians committed against white & black settlers, like the Dakota War of 1862 where Santee Sioux went on the warpath and murdered between 600-800 European settlers, which constituted the largest death toll inflicted upon American civilians by an enemy force until 9/11? AmerIndian privilege. (Notice, btw, that I don't call them "Native" because they're not native, their ancestors emigrated from Asia via Beringia several thousand years ago. They're just Older Americans).
I could go on and on, but you obviously turn a blind eye to these kinds of realities.
Yes, Trump foolishly puts his foot in his mouth now and then, but he's boldly, prudently and tenaciously steering the country in the right direction. Obama was the personification of eloquence and he steered us over a libertine cliff of corruption and lunacy (e.g. the IRS scandal and legally allowing mentally ill men to use the ladies restroom; get real).
You're a respectable, intelligent person and we'd get along just fine if we met face-to-face.

I think your examples of non-white privilege are far-flung and self-serving. I don't know Jeong. Who brings up Farrakhan these days? Black-on-white crime? Lamestream liberal media? Same old specious rhetoric from the extreme "wrong" wing. South African Black privilege? What are you even talking about, and why here and now? I'm sure American Indians committed atrocities, and settlers were invaders. Whatever this Beringia business is, I would think emigration to an empty land several thousand years ago gives them a solid claim.
What is this "right direction"? What is the aftermath of being steered "over a libertine cliff of corruption and lunacy"? What IRS scandal? Trump ignores pleas to release his taxes. Sounds scandalous to me ! "(L)egally allowing mentally ill men to use the ladies restroom; get real." What's this about? Hasn't affected my life any, and I don't see it going on.
Thank you for your diplomatic and pleasant denouement. I don't have public rows with anyone, and don't bring up sensitive subjects with people I don't know. Have a great holiday and best of luck in the New Year.

Your stereotypical argument about "white privilege" suggests that only whites have privileges. I was pointing out obvious privileges of minorities off the top of my head. Farrakhan is still conveying his loony racist drivel; the reason YOU don't hear about it is due to liberal black privilege -- the lamestream media refuses to report it. Imagine if it was a white conservative saying the things Farrakhan espouses? There'd be mass outrage and denouncement.
As intelligent as you are, you're not aware of what's going on in South Africa and the black racism against white citizens? Again, the media blocks these things out. It's liberal black privilege.
You don't know what Beringia is? Maybe because "Academia" wants you to think AmerIndians are native. I don't know, I'm just guessing.
If people simply living somewhere gave them the absolute right to stay there forever in centuries past, why did the Lakota Sioux conquer other tribes to acquire "their" land in the Black Hills? It often went back-and-forth from one tribe to another. So AmerIndians themselves committed this very crime that you say settlers from across the ocean supposedly committed. (I'm part Abenaki, btw).
The "right direction" is moving away from idiotic libertine policies, like Big Government & the corresponding over-regulation, open borders, supporting illegal aliens, unbalanced trade practices, absurdly giving Iran $1.7 billion and gross corruption, like the IRS targeting conservatives.
If there was no IRS scandal, why did Lois Lerner plead the fifth? Innocent people don't plead the fifth.
Trump's tax returns of when he wasn't in public office is a matter between him and the government. It's not my concern, just like my tax records aren't your concern. When his tax returns were eventually made public it turned out to be a big nothing burger and LIEberals mysteriously shut up on the matter.
Are you saying you don't remember Obama's executive order to allow mentally ill men who dress up as women to use the ladies room? The reason you don't see it going on is because Trump cancelled the lunatic order.

I have to admire that you address the topics mentioned. I never expected to convince you of anything but I did want to attempt to expose your haphazard methodology for supporting your argument. This paranoia over the Mainstream Media having an agenda against Trump is silly and absurd, and speaks to how loony the Trump supporting Far Wrong has become.
Trump will feather the beds of whoever he chooses, especially if it benefits him financially. But you don't see it this way, so I wish you a Good New Year. Cheers !

Like most Leftists you deviate from the topic when facts are presented that don't support your erroneous theses, like the faddish idea that only whites have privileges (rolling my eyes). This explains your curious silence when presented with the fact that AmerIndian tribes committed the very same acts that you accuse Euro settlers of practicing, like forcibly taking other tribes' lands, and way worse, speaking as part-Abenaki.
I have no paranoia over the lamestream media, but I do see the obvious, which is that it strongly leans Left. You'd have to be blind to not see it. Why was Herman Cain reviled and Obama given a pass? How come the accomplishments of female conservatives -- including minorities -- are ignored while female liberals are hailed? Why is the striking Melania (an immigrant) loathed while the Grinch-looking Michelle Obama was constantly gushed over? (I'm not being "racist," btw, as there are gazillions of beautiful black women; Michelle just ain't one of 'em).
Earlier you claimed that you don't lower yourself to juvenile ad hominem practices, but your two initial posts spoke of the "Joker-in-residence" and "Planet Trumpland," which are pretty puerile and insulting. This explains my original overboard statements but, since you toned it down, I did as well ("you get what you give"). Now you're back to these condescending ad hominem tactics with the "Far Wrong." I'm not Far Right, btw; I'm an Independent who simply has no tolerance for Far Left lies and lunacies.
As far as taxes go, Trump has paid more in taxes than you could in fifty lifetimes, probably a hundred. So, the argument that he doesn't support the government is laughable. Like any smart businessman before becoming president, he wasn't going to pay more than he had to.
Happy New Years to You & Yours.

Here's another fact that the lamestream media ignores which might send you into convulsions: Donations from Russia to the Trump foundation: $0.00. Donations from Russia to the Clinton Foundation: $145,600,000. Gee, it looks like it's the Dems who are guilty of "Russian collusion."
