He mad about Bathrooms.

The bathroom thing is a weak proxy. A lot of these leaders don't have the balls to stand for the basic conviction people are really advancing, which is the right to call things what they are and to refuse to participate in the degradation of Western Civilization.

It's def abandoned this this particular case, even though you're absolutely correct on operating industrial buildings looking utterly forgotten.

If Trump insults Syrian refugees, they might become radicalized and join ISIS, which is definitely why we should import Syrian refugees who are definitely not yet currently members of ISIS under current conditions! - a Hillary voter.

It's almost as if being openly and unequivocally transphobic is not a winning public proposition anymore, and they have to conjure the most frightening strawman possible of allowing drunk rapists to barge in on little girls in the bathroom instead?

I agree on their base cowardice, but we should be rejoicing that they've been reduced to this mealy-mouthed half-argument much like the last refuge against gay marriage is insisting they don't have to acknowledge it. Either Trump takes the nomination despite his apathy on the subject which shows the grip of the evangelical social conservatives on the Republican party is broken or else Cruz steals the nomination and is lambasted for his open intolerance in the general - win win.

The existence of transgender persons, and their desire to be treated as members of the gender they most identify with, is not degrading to Western Civilization.

Your complete lack of empathy and compassion is however incredibly destructive to the effort of creating and maintaining pro-social society.

75% of Syrian refugees are women and children under 16. They've all been thoroughly, thoroughly vetted by dozens of international and American agencies. There's zero chance these vetted refugees are members of ISIS. I'd bet my life on it.

Look, there were more German-Americans that went over and fought for Nazi Germany than there are Muslim Americans joining ISIS now. The same thing will happen. They'll assimilate in a generation or two and we'll all be pals.

ISIS is trying to portray this conflict as Islam vs the West: that Muslims cannot peacefully live alongside Christians and Jews and secular, and have no choice but to join the Caliphate. If you're a racist islamophobic idiot, you help ISIS spread that message and boost their recruitment numbers. If you live peacefully alongside them, you defeat ISIS. This isn't that hard.

One of the really interesting things about ISIS propaganda (including their high-quality, deeply horrible monthly magazine) is that they don't give two figs about their perception by the Crusaders the West. It's all for consumption by their constituency, and sympathetic or persuadable Muslims who haven't joined up yet. So all their portrayals of themselves in that propaganda are how they want to be seen by Muslims. It's some real through-the-looking-glass poo poo.

If they're all innocent women and children who have been thoroughly vetted, then Trump's rhetoric will not turn them into terrorists so your entire point is invalid. We can talk about them however we want, they have been predetermined as safe.

You turn them into terrorists by shunning them, keeping them isolated and rejected by mainstream society. That will ensure that the kids grow up good and alienated so then they'll be ripe for recruitment and strapping on a bomb vest.

Woo yeah. Totally one unkind word about Islam must be the straw breaking the camels back here; not the decades of poo poo like Southwest airlines kicking anyone another passenger thinks is too foreign off their flight and subjecting them to invasive public searches.
