    My grandfather lived here when you got shot for being a union organizer and he was IWW.
    He voted for Eugene Debs and was pissed off by the results of a lot of elections.
    I remember him having a bunch of very choice things to say about Richard Nixon.
    Can't even imagine what he would say about Trump.
    But he always said, this is our country and it's important to make them remember that.
    You don't have to 'give' me a safe zone, I'm taking it.

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
    “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
    With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

    America, the original safe zone.
    Also, inscribed on our money, E pluribus unum. "From many,one"

    I understand that some of the memes are controversial, but I don't think that @Solitary Man actually believes some (most?) of them.

    IMO he shares them to stimulate thoughts and conversation.

    I could see your thought if his memes weren't so one track in their focus. But maybe Solitary Man could chime in on his singular focus.

    Most people misunderstand what safe spaces entail. They're areas whose administrators promise to uphold the dignity of those who occupy the space. They're not about censorship or banning certain topics. They're about respect and the absence of attacks.

    omega : E pluribus unum = "Out of many, one". Not "From many,one".​

    Actually the word on the street is that he decided to run because his little feelings were hurt at the White House Correspondents Dinner where the President got in a few well earned jabs at Trump due to the whole Birtherism bullshit.
    Trump needs his own safe space.

    First of all, thanks for correcting my translation of a motto lifted from a dead language. I'm glad your google fu skills are unparalleled.
    As to Trump, there are a couple pathetic things that could be true about this. Hold my beer watch this is a redneck's remark. A redneck who is about to do something that is supremely stupid and that he is unqualified for. That describes president Trump in a nutshell. Running for president on a lark is extremely stupid. But Trump is so arrogant that he cannot even see that he is too unqualified to run a country. The second part that is scary is that Americans celebrated this ignoramus. They somehow believed that a stupid redneck saying "watch this" would somehow be capable of running our country. This, just like voting for Bush Jr shows that Americans don't celebrate exceptionalism and qualifications. They want a show.
    So sadly, this is really the only "political meme" that has a kernel of truth. So good job, though I'm pretty sure that's not what you meant.

    This ^ is funny.

    And I'm a moderate liberal who thinks that dickhead Trump is in way over his head.

    The problem there is all too often you have been sold a bill of goods as to who is getting the help.
    When you bitch about the people getting welfare do some real research and don't just go by Breitbart or your friend who some lady buy steaks with their WIC card then drive away in a Cadillac.
    The real numbers tell a story about kids and old people, people with disabilities, very little fraud, and a fuck less money being spent on welfare for people who are hungry than on fucking corporations who would do just fine without it.
