Because you asked me whether I agreed if
American conservatives do this or that. It doesn't matter if they're American or if they're conservative, saying "you not liking this thing is only making me like it more" is, in my opinion, silly. Whether the thing is American or conservative or both or neither.
I did not say, "you not liking this thing is only making me like it more". What I said was more, "you making outlandish claims against the other half makes me not want to associate with you", and it goes both ways.
I'd be careful to associate with a party that claims literally half of Americans 'drool' over police violence.
You're trying to build this weird, one-size-fits-all argument using nationalities, policies, etc... that frankly doesn't fit.
Dialogue like yours drive people away from your party.
You also meant yourself in "people." If you didn't mean it affected your opinion as well, and you were just expressing concern that the original poster's party would attract fewer people because of this... okay, I guess. But I don't get why it's such a big deal, then.
Ok, well, I doubt that too, because Trump is currently the least popular president (at this point in his presidency) since polls began. Even if Republicans still take the White House, I'd be surprised if they still go with Trump. When Bush was re-elected he was at 60%, and his lowest rating in his first term was low-50s. Trump is currently at the same point that GWB was at when Bush was trying to deal with the fallout of Iraq/Afghanistan not being resolved and losing control of the House and Senate in his second term.

I have no idea where you first sentence about nationalities is coming from.
Also, the guy's not criticizing a policy. He's making inflammatory statements. If we can't agree on that then I don't know what to say.
