Andrew Breitbart was a very solid conservative, and an honest journalist.  He has a couple of books you might find interesting..  Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!, and Hollywood, Interrupted. He was frequently on TV and radio.. and was taken from ud far too soon.

I've heard good and bad about Breitbart. He can't have been all bad, because he also helped found Huffpost, I think. Which is odd, because HuffP is super-left wing.

Most conservatives have nothing against legal minorities from any country.

Just have to step in here; while a lot might not, I wouldn't go as far as to say that 'most' have nothing against certain minorities. We really just have to look as far back as earlier this year; at North Carolina; to see how that isn't even a Trump thing necessarily.

And yes, the problem isn't -exactly- Trump... but he's been making very worrisome comments and actions(like putting people who have conflict of interest at the top of his team???). And all the people he's appointing, like Bannon and Pence. And all the just unsettling stuff I've been hearing about, like registries and such.

But I don't see how just accepting things will help either? Like, yes, we can't count on what he says(and that's sort of troubling in its own way...), but... Why should people who are rightfully worried just be quieted with a "let's just see how things go" sort of response, when that tactic is just looking like it's going to be leading into a further downward spiral...?

It just feels as if no-one learned from history, even though I can't seem to pinpoint why I get that feeling.

Bear in mind that the good ones never make the news. There are approximately one hundred twenty-seven million five hundred sixty thousand conservatives in the US today.

Also please realize that a lot of the stuff about "registries" and such is put out by the liberal press to drum up opposition.  Trump's an azz hat, but he will not do half of what he advertized and less than than that of what he is accused.
Frankly, I am very sad that the press has blown this up to the point that people I care about online and IRL are in fear. I hate that.

Um... No offense, but I don't have to listen to the news to have Trump scare the **** out of me. His behavior for the entire election cycle was extremely worrisome. I listened to him sometimes, and it was mostly empty, flaming rhetoric. But the thing is, it was so easy to see through. The one thing he values more than anything is himself, and at times was squandered large amounts of money and reputation just to get more publicity. A recent NYT article discussed that he basically already built a wall in Scotland... for his gold course. He tried to forcibly buy their porter, and when they wouldn't sell, build a 15' tall dirt wall on either side of their property and sent them a $3500 bill. Nope, I don't listen to the media too much, telling me what to think... I just look at what he says and what he says...

ETA: That's a swear word?

I'd wager that a good amounts of the press isn't quite as wrong as you'd think. And I'd say double that the fact that people seem to distrust the 'press' in situations like this kinda is how things got into this mess both here and in Britain with Brexit.

Another thing is this stuff about 'liberal' press. At this point, I don't think that anyone can afford to divide humanity like this. Not when some people still can't seem to learn to see each other as actual people.

Let me try and explain what I'm trying to say here. The registries may or may not be real, but the sheer fact that it can be a possibility, combined with the very real comments that Trump has made, and also combined with who he's appointing to different places, make me very sketchy on this whole thing. I haven't even actually seen half the news articles, and yet this still just... I don't even know why I'm typing any of this up.

I get it, I really do. Half my band is gay, my boyfriend is black. But if I make myself sick with worry about what bad things might happen, I will certainly miss the good things that are happening.

I have been against trump from day one.. (you should see my FB) because he tells people what they want to hear, and then goes and does something else.. among other things. I am sure he is going to screw the country up bigtime.. but maybe not in ways that we are talking about here.

I REALLY don't mean to make light of this, more just trying to ease some concerns.

For sure... Trump may just wander around doing business as usual, sit in his penthouse and New York, possibly because it's fancier than the oval office, and send irate tweets to world leaders. Maybe they'll just ignore him, and Pence can run the show. But you should have seen how well Pence and Trump actually got along during the election. They've publicly disagreed several times. It would be hilarious if it wasn't the highest office the world. But who knows. I was pretty aggravated by Obama, and he turned out all right, relative to what I thought would happen. Maybe this is similar.

I'd hope the latter, if not the first... =P

But, R8 pretty much left, and Tim only hops in from time to time. The others pretty much scattered too, admittedly, but some pop in from time to time too.

I kind of think it is a mix of nostalgia, and just liking the place.

I see a few people from here on Facebook now and then.

Facebook groups.. much like a forum. Check the left hand column of your newsfeed, or search for an interest.  There are groups for everything, including LEGO

Oh yeah... I do a few of those. Mostly political pages. I don't usually comment on things, though, as it tends to get buried pretty fast. I'm usually more content to just read the news from NYT and Wall Street Journal, although WSJ just kicked me off their app.... they were letting me read for free, which was awesome, but they figured it out and they want their $35 a month now.
