    Granting the premise that the current wave of nativism can correctly be characterized as Islamophobia, what makes you confident that it will lessen? I think there's just as much reason to hypothesize heightened tension as there is to guess that it'll fade.

    I linked a Gallup poll that asks what the people of america identify as. The results show the majority are democrat.

    You say they aren't because... I don't know, reasons?

    Except I didn't? I said the polls say different things. Then I offered clarity on the overall world view, and a reason that helps explain the earlier point made about turn out.

    Why are you arguing with someone who doesn't even have an opinion on the matter, and who was merely clearing some of the mess up?

    You can't read or follow the conversation and you start calling me a tin foil hat wearer when I am the ultimate critic of that sort of thing.

    Thanks for that riveting insight you provided.

    I mean it'll lessen, but only in so far as its redirected at a different group eventually. The history of the US can be reasonably charted by who we're scared of at a given time.

    That's the answer - we need to make people scared of Republicans.

    Polling at this stage of the election? I'll Just ask President Giuliani how that worked out for him.
