How can people support both 2nd Amendment Rights and Donald Trump's anti-Muslim comments when these two stances contradict each other?

Of course. It was an INSANE thing to propose. Imagine Trump "registering" Congressman Keith Ellison, then telling him he can't come back into the country if he leaves.

Republicans have lost next year's election already.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
