Not in this case it doesn't. There's a side amendable to reason and facts, and a side that routinely lies and exaggerates problems for political expediency.

You're not allowed to do that, because women are oppressed.

eta: the foreign policy argument you're trying to make is the same terrible argument that people like Glenn Greenwald were trying to make re: Obama back in 2012.
Wait. So Obama actually turned out to be a dove? He didn't actually bomb Libya, increase the drone program, allow Hillary to take the reigns on Honduras, etc.?
your boy Trump was all about bombing Libya too!



This "you must choose between more dead brown people overseas or really shitty domestic consequences!" gambit doesn't work when one of the choices is going to be really shitty in both regards.

the case against hillary is that she's a liar. the defense of trump is that he's a liar.

brg's right. trump broke reality. he has gotten everyone to completely throw out their standards when it comes to him, to the extent that people forget to even judge him. meanwhile, hillary continues to be judged at least as harshly as the average politician.

Were the expectations of Trump so low that he was able to keep his supporters despite saying crazy things?

What if Trump screamed like Howard Dean did?

well I should remember that part of what's going in here is that one man's trash is another man's treasure. republicans and conservatives generally consider political correctness itself to be a problem and a serious issue. core trump supporters in particular are people who are so obsessed with it, they have come to view offensiveness itself as a virtue, and decided what their country and party really needed was for them to nominate the biggest jackass they could find.
