If you're referring to half the country as Nazis, you're the one with a problem.
It the Doc Marten fits...

While I agree with what your saying, is it right to essentially also call the other side subhuman? Going back and forth with hostility doesnt accomplish anything, and we are seing a lot of that now. (Not saying you are doing this but I see that a lot.)
When did he ever say this? Also are we actually comparing Hitler with Trump and his voters with Nazis!?
What does help when the other side wants reasoned arguments for why you should be allowed to live?I 100% agree its not an equal comparison, but what I'm saying is simply yelling at the other side accomplishes nothing and only adds fuel to the fire for Trump supporters to hate on everyone else. We should absolutely denounce hatred of anyone simply because of race, religion, or gender, but simply saying "you're a racist, fuck you" doesn't help in my opinion.
What's your point?
A very good video and I'm glad he took the 2064 devs to task a little for their awful tweet.
You walk in lock-step with a fascist bigot warmonger... guess what you're a fucking Nazi

I mean, it doesn't have to be Hitler. There's a bunch of historical figure parallels who shared similar beliefs on how the head of state should act. Mussolini, Franco, Tojo, Mosley...
See this is the problem here, assumptions and insults by the side that like to think they're right. If you're platform is "you need to hate this person as much as we do or else we hate you too" that's not very healthy for discourse.

He says he left the Republican Party over Trump, but if it was down to just the two of them, he would pick Trump over Hillary. So in spite of everything bad that Trump represents that caused Colin to leave the party, he still thinks that would have been a better choice than Hillary. Then there's his Twitter comment after the election that claimed people were overreacting, pretty much disregarding how a large group of people would be affected.
Yes. And if and when Trump stops pandering to the alt-right/neo nazis, maybe we'll stop.
A veritable fascism buffet!

In before the lock.

Why do people pay so much attention to Colin when he is generally so callous? He cant be the only conservative voice in gaming?

Feel free to offer likable qualities and/or discuss them. Saying "you're mad, so I don't want to discuss things with you" isn't helping cultivate a healthy discourse either.See this is the problem here, assumptions and insults by the side that likes to think they're right.

Look i am 100% convinced Trump is a piece of shit and his voters are racist at least some of them are. However comparing Trump with Hitler seems to be missing the point in just how bad Hitler and the Nazis actually were. If there is one thing Trump wont do is put millions of people in gas chambers and kill them. This kind of comparison is actually disgusting and disrespectful to all the people who died in WW2 under the Nazi regime.
He really needs to change the name from "Colin was right" to something else. It's antithetical to the quality and effort he is trying to convey. It comes off as childish and immediately puts me in "defensive mode" before even watching.

Same. Can it be more arrogant? it's a ridiculous name. But so is kinda funny (not that funny).
I don't agree with you at all, I don't think anyone should wait till Trump starts putting people into camps to call out his policies and actions that are going to do really damage to the enviroment, to minority classes, to people in general. He needs to be called out now and taken action against because sitting back and pretending everything is okay is only going to do more harm than good.Look i am 100% convinced Trump is a piece of shit and his voters are racist at least some of them are.

i have that flannel (hand me down from my bro who is a bit older than Colin)
just thought I'd point that out. thanks for the read
With all these complaints about the title of the show, which is clearly supposed to be tongue and cheek, I wonder why I don't see these same complaints filling the Jimquisition threads to such a degree when being arrogant and condescending is part of his whole shtick. (that is also clearly tongue and cheek)

Why the hell are we giving a gaming commentator attention on his (shitty) political views on the gaming side of the forum?
Because the name of his show isn't "Thank God For Me".
I said this earlier in the thread.

Colin is so much more interesting when he doesn't read a script like a robot. Just drop the script, get a few notes and start talking about them. It's so much better.

It also needs to be stated that Jim says this ironically.
Colin, if you are reading this, that was exceptional. You hit every nail on the head with great research and anecdotal evidence. Absolutely fantastic episode and it made me really quite angry at some of the people out there, but also more sympathetic and understanding to others.
America needs to be hopeful in a time where hope isn't in much quantity. Instead people are making it darker and harder for people to communicate to each other about their problems.

It's not just unhealthy, it's absolutely dangerous. People are okay with committing violence against Nazis (like Richard Spencer), but the definition of who a Nazi is has been watered down so much that you have some people calling half the country Nazis. This is crazy. And it's coming from the 'progressive', 'empathetic', left.

You're not going to reach across the aisle with fascists and nazis.
