Have you heard of a new PAC called Not Who We Are, which has been formed to help all of you at HLP write an open letter denouncing the Republican candidate for President, Donald Trump, and spread across our affiliate communities?

From the site's about page:

Quote
To defeat Donald Trump, we need to build a movement from the bottom-up, in every corner of the country. We can’t leave it to politicians or the media – it’s up to us to take a moral stand and to protect our friends and co-workers most at risk from mass deportations, religious bans and other forms of hate.

Now's the time for you to do so. It is important, because a Trump presidency will lead to the ban of the internet, the suppression of the exchange of free ideas, and the stopping of our progress we've made.

I do. Donald Trump has shown to be racist, xenophobe, bigot, sexist, misogynist, serial liar and birther. In the Sept. 1 speech, his immigration stance remains unchanged, and many Latinos and Hispanics were outraged, with many self-deporting his campaign. It is just like the start of the Trump campaign last year, when he mentions the Mexicans, whom he viewed them as "not the best", rather they bring "drugs and crime", and as "rapists".

He also mocked a disabled reporter last November, at the same time started a feud with Megyn Kelly. He disparaged a Hispanic judge and attacked a Gold Star family member, and refused to disavow endorsements from hate groups, white supremacist and Neo-Nazi movements. He also encouraged a foreign hostile nation to perform espionage acts.

That's great! But we need to act fast. Two months to US Election Day.

You might want to lead with that instead of

because AFAIK, he said exactly nill regarding the Internet that other mainstream candidates haven't said, and unlike other candidates, was not part of the administration that started to erode free speech on campuses recently.

He is the worst candidate in the race, you don't have to make up bogeymen.

Nope, quite the opposite. There is way too much emphasis in the criticism of Trump on his immigration policy. And too little emphasis on the fact that Trump has blatant disregard for the rights of actual US citizens, such as freedom of speech, as evidenced by his statements about "closing up" the Internet, fighting against online porn (as if the US wasnt too puritan and sex-negative already) and desire to sue his critics. You might wanna lead with that.

Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win you are still retarded.

You mean the one where he incompetently said he would ban the internet for ISIS? As opposed to, Clinton's "deny them online space"? Yeah, totally different.

You mean this pledge? The very same one that Clinton supports?

This is probably the only relevant thing you mentioned, since it's about the only thing I could find that is actually different from other candidates.

P.S.
This campaign has been the perfect example on how two candidates can have the exact same position on an issue and have the press have opposite reactions to it.

What really frustrates me about Trump is that he just seems to be saying whatever seems to get him the most points at the moment. Just take a look at this:
http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/sep/04/mike-pence/pence-says-trump-has-been-consistent-immigration-v/
Trump's big issue, immigration. Flip-flop-flip-flop. He does this with everything. For me, its an unmistakable sign that he's not running for POTUS because he wants to Make America Great Again. He's running for POTUS because he wants to be POTUS. This sort thinking is always a problem with democracy (or indeed, any system in which the candidate has any input on his/her own rise to power), but so far, every other presidential candidate had some real agenda besides "I wanna be the president".

Good lucks to you guys to stop him. If he is elected, I have no idea what will happen, but nothing good for sure.

Has Trump really managed to bring all of HLP together in agreement on a single conclusion that he is the worst possible option in the current US election?

We might need to mark this on a calendar.

Just several hours ago, we've learned that Donald Trump has amassed 88 retired military leaders who endorsed him, to replace all the military staff in the US, deemed as a "rubble". This is one of the examples of old (whose born in the first half of the century) trumping young (including new generations of humanity), and Trump's fear of new people.

He also repeatedly expressed his excessive praise for Vladimir Putin, who's a thug, a murderer, an aggressor and autocratic leader of Russia who choose the opposite - more than a lifetime in power, filled with arbitrariness and corruption, as the murdered Boris Nemtsov put it. That's pretty an example of evil trumping good, as former 2012 Republican candidate for President Mitt Romney put in in his March speech against Trump.

Republicans such as Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Michael McCaul and Lindsey Graham expressed their disqualification toward's Trump's friendliness with Putin. Their messages range from being a false narrative, to Putin being a human rights-abusing and murderous thug and an autocrat leader filled with total arbitrariness and corruption, as well as high approval ratings raised after the 2014 annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.

And the most worrying concern is that our progress could be stymied forever (with future manned space missions, including Elon Musk's Mars mission, thwarted) and our planet (and our human race) could be renamed permanently under one name by Putin. Anyone who prefer to use old names will suffer the same fate as those who are hated by Putin, and by extension, Trump.

Have you wrote open letters against this kind of regressing world presented by Trump himself? If you haven't, it's the time to do it now.

What about the modern White Rose Society movement, which has risen to fight off neo-fascism across the world (including Donald Trump's so-called Fourth Reich and possibly Vladimir Putin's rising criminal neo-totalitarianism)?

Hi there. :pimp:

I should make it clear that officially, HLP takes no position on political or social issues.  Members here are free to agree or disagree as they see fit.

Personally, I anticipate no little amusement when the SJWs go apoplectic after the inevitable Trumpslide this November.
