Trump surging at the Primaries off the back off Paris/Syria

[davedan]

In a way Trump getting elected would be like Ireland sinking into the sea.

Fun to watch from the outside and no you can't come and sleep on my couch. 

Now make that fun drowning sound while I open another beer.

What do you have against Ireland? The Irish invented Jameson, which is surely enough justification for their continued survival.

He probably doesn't like being reminded of the fact that Irish Monks and Muslim Scholars preserved the inheritance of classical western thought, such as socrates, plato, aristotle, virgil etc while the rest of Europe descended into gangsterism and England was becoming a Danish then finally a Norman fief.

England wasn't a Danish anything.  The Danelaw existed before England was a united country.  It wasn't until Edward and then Aethelstan ran the vikings out of East Anglia and the north that you can really call England England.

Other than that, monarchs come and go and monarchies across europe are one big incestuous blob.  Our current mob are still basically descended from Sophia of Hanover, which basically makes them saxon again.  Thanks for playing

And none of this changes the fact that the irish can fuck off.  And before you call that racist, just remember they've invented an entire genre of music dedicated to their hatred of the english and no one says jack about that.

Aethelstan ran the Danish out only for Harold to come back in and be king until just before William the Conqueror came over and took over.

I can't possibly imagine why the Irish hate the English so much. It isn't like they were systematically oppressed for centuries via Nazi-esqe tactics or anything.

Lord, grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King.

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their popish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

I recently took a DNA test and found out I'm 99.6 percent European, with a majority of that being British and Irish.  See they CAN get along.   Enough to screw, at least...

Lovely lovely hate sex.

[RavynousHunter]

I've got, like...Brit, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, bit of French and German...my ancestors did not give a single fuck about cultural bullshit.  They just fucked.

[Random Gal]

I'm mainly Scottish, Irish, Prussian, Swedish, and Finnish myself.

Yes, I have light-colored everything and burn really bad in the sun.

[lord gibbon]

Scottish, Irish, and Yiddish here.

[Art Vandelay]

I also have both English and Irish ancestry. Though even more impressively, I have both Slovenian and Croatian as well. Those Balkan people make the English and Irish look like amateurs when it comes to ethnic dick waving.

[lord gibbon]

Is there anyone better? The Balkans are like if aliens decided to build a lab to experiment on human hostility.

[Art Vandelay]

Maybe certain African tribes could keep up with them, though that's merely speculation on my part. Otherwise, there's no one better at it that I know of.

[Random Gal]

Don't forget that's also where Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Islam all collide. Lots of religious tension there.

[Ultimate Paragon]

The Middle East is another obvious example that comes to mind.

In many ways, Trump is a Hitler or Stalin like figure. A somewhat self-made man with an effective but brutal speaking style, the emotional maturity of a three year old, a lot of money and no scruples. I'm not saying he's a genocidal maniac, but what is it about conservatives that make these people attractive to them? (Yes, Stalin was elected by the, conservative, community party room).

There are a couple of historical inaccuracies in your statement.

1. It's true that numerous conservatives supported Hitler, but some of them only allied with him out of convenience, considering him (probably incorrectly) the lesser of two evils.  Also, there were quite a few who outright despised him (Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck comes to mind).

2. I'm not entirely sure what the "community party room" is, but I think calling them "conservative" is rather disingenuous.  Calling a Bolshevik "conservative" is like calling a sumo wrestler "thin."  That may be the case compared to others among their in-group, but compared to the general public?

Irish/Dutch/Krymchak.

I wonder why Trump - who has offended and stirred many people to dark extremes of anger - has not been attacked or assassinated yet?

Hitler had a cunning, ruthless monster running a lot of counter intel.

Could Trump have someone similar?
