Spicer on extermination of Roma people in Holocaust: "The gypsies."

I think "identity politics" might still end up being pushed by liberals and Democrats in 2018 and 2020, especially if Trump does something to the LGBTQ community. Campaigning will focus on Trump's hate and discriminatory behavior... just like what Hillary did. The irony would hurt me.

Watching the US Travel Ban Emergency Debate in Parliament and feeling proud of the few MPs that bothered to gather for this event.
I do not appreciate that Theresa May will ignore all of it.

Is Bannon doing this to feed ISIS propaganda to justify this "holy war"?

Someone suggested that the GOP says ridiculous things that are untrue in order to introduce those ideas into the conversation. Trump constantly (not so eloquently) asserted the idea that ISIS is an existential threat to the US (it isn't). Maybe they're aiming for ISIS to become that, so they have a Great Enemy to lead the country against.
The current protest movement includes all kinds of groups typically associated with "identity politics." It's a strength.

Hardiman would seem to be in the vein of Garland or at least the moderate compromise Obama was trying to nominate:
The rest should be filibustered.
See? We told you! We need to stop ALL immigrants!
I was actually wondering where Garland would fall on that line. I know he was relatively moderate, but Hardiman at least seems like the lesser of the evils.

Exactly.
I feel it might play a bigger role now, then trying to appeal to the white working class.
Yeah my jaw dropped at that. He probably realized his mistake mid-way through the sentence.
If he nominates Hardiman and we filibuster him out of stupidity, we deserve the filibuster getting taken out. Hardiman's basically on top of Garland ideologically IIRC.
Rest of them, oppose but understand that we have no way to stop it. Bring up their trash decisions, throw up a huge ruckus in the Senate, and have those who can safely vote against him do so.

He probably will not: like Mitt Romney, Trump might have only pretended to put him under consideration or at least that's what I think happened.
Trump and Clinton supporters want the Falcons to win, Johnson and Stein supporters want the Patriots to win. I'm not really sure how to analyze that.

People really only assume that about Hardiman, he's not really had that many hot button religious or social cases. In private practice he did represent a 10 commandments case. From what I've read he's not really made his feelings on social issues known one way or another.
Everyone hates the Patriots. Though considering Brady, Belicheck, and Kraft are big Trump supporters, I am surprised Trump fans want Falcons to win. They hate the Pats more than they like Trump.

You can only work with what you know. Maybe his hearing would bring his opinion on those to light, but from my memory, most hearings are not that informative.

But why do Johnson and Stein supporters like the Patriots?

Trump making gay discrimination legal is likely the final straw before total chaos ensures. That's not an issue that people take lightly at all, and it's wildly popular across the entire country, between both parties.

They need to speak out. People won't forget this shit show.
Republicans will roll over and have their bellies tickled. The same tea party primary dynamics are at play here.

The total sample size is 378. The subsamples of Johnson and (especially) Stein supporters are going to be so small as to render any inferences meaningless.

Trump promised anti-LGBT orders during the campaign and is trying to fulfill his campaign promises so this could be a random guess and still have a good probability of being correct!

I think people underestimate just how popular and accepted it is. It's not even close at this point.

Yeah not gonna tweet the gossip, but EO is another level. We'll see if it's true.
Are you saying that discrimination against gays is popular or that gays are pretty well accepted these days?
Edit: Gotcha, the ladder

Everyone knows someone who is gay. You can't hide in your white suburb and pretend they don't exist. As more and more people came out over the last few decades, people were more exposed to gay people, and tolerance grew rapidly.
It's not a winning war for the GOP. And it's been demonstrated in the recent past to be the game changer for winning or losing elections.
Being gay is widely accepted these days. It has bipartisan support.

Yep, as terrible as it sounds I actually hope that rumor is true. A wide-reaching LGBT executive order would be disastrous to his presidency.
Sadly, I doubt even he is that stupid. One thing he has been consistent on is saying (though possibly not actually meaning) he doesn't have anything against the LGBT community. And I have a lot of doubts about that rogue white house twitter.
