So it's okay for Trump's and his supporters to call immigrants "rapists," declare all Muslims "terrorists," and call progressives "traitors," but when I call out dumb hicks for what they are, I'm in the wrong? What gives?

Why don't you try a dose of intellectual honesty instead of vitriolic rants? None of Trumps supporters are referring to immigrants as a whole as rapists. Though some of the illegal immigrants have committed rape, murder, and other crimes. None of Trump's supporters are declaring all Muslims as terrorists. However some fanatical extremist Muslims do happen to be terrorists. Nor do Trump supporters declare progressives as traitors. And your use of the term "hicks" suggests that you are prejudiced against some regions of the country and some income levels.
 
Best way I can put this is: You're new. You have to get used to a new place.

I don't care if the people on this forum think my words are strong. I stand by what I say.
 
My parents voted for Donald Trump. Does that mean I deserve to be mocked, insulted, and to suffer?

Not necessarily, but your parents definitely do. And the dependent, non-voting children of people who voted for Trump deserve to suffer, because their parents are a bunch of racist idiots. Nobody should feel sorry for them.
Yes, it's not their fault that they will suffer, but it is their parent's fault, and for that reason, I do not feel bad about their suffering.
 

My, aren't you a stand up human being.
 
Let me repeat it again. The defense of tolerance means not tolerating racism or hate.

Let me repeat it again. That is the antithesis of tolerance.

You can disagree with one's viewpoint, and still tolerate them. Like for example, I can tolerate a Trump supporters' viewpoint, even thought I probably won't agree with it.

I want to be clear, that I think OP is over-reacting. And he went from 0-100 in .5 seconds. But, Donald Trump said he wished murder upon the families of terrorists. Just sayin'. We are living in extraordinary times. Likely, Trump was talking out of his ass. I don't know. I'd like Trump to clarify where he stands on this basic human rights question, that would violate the Geneva Conventions.

I don't begrudge the family of anyone. My entire family is Republican, but, they support a person who wishes death upon innocent people, and has delivered death to innocent people in Yemen.
 

Oh, I understand he's overreacting. This seems to be intentional on the OP's part (POE).

But if they seriously do wish the absolute worst on everyone who voted for Trump, then that's just wrong.
 


Man, where were you for the previous 8 years?

It's the wrong face to put on the opposition. If there is a concerted effort on the left that includes a violent component it will get shut down by the government. Look at what happened to the Black Panthers. Look at what happened to SDS and The Weathermen. They were eliminated and are relegated to the history books.. As a person wanting to achieve left wing policy objectives, we need to follow the right channels by primarying incumbent democrats.. and making clear that we don't condone violence in disagreements.

I think he's genuine. I think he's a frustrated person who needs to ask himself WWBD? What would Bernie do? Would Bernie be in favor of using violence as a reaction to a person's constitutional guaranteed rights of speech and voting?

I criticized Obama for his bombings in Yemen, Somalia, Syria, and Libya. I did not vote for HRC, because I didn't want to be responsible for a "no-fly" zone in Syria. I'm a legitimate anti-war person. I don't just see Republican bombs and let the Democrat bombs by.
 

If so, then :beer:
 
Can't agree.

Their kids inherit the same hate and idiotic views on politics. From there, they vote the same and these votes hold down poor red states from reforming. If you didn't know, there are a lot of minorities in red states, small enough to be overpowered as a minority but still a good deal of people. That and the minor-aged children of these folks should gain some sympathy from you.
 

That "warm and friendly greeting" went straight to stupid pretty quick. Wonder how long it will take for this thread, based entirely in baiting, will take to get flushed.
 
I saw "RWNJs" and thought this was about one of those stupid "Real Wives of Wherever" shows.

Somehow, I pieced it together..
 
I got two sentences, however this is proof that Americans will argue about anything even when it's, like this, about nothing.

I say, I say, I resemble that remark!
 
yeah but does a self identified socialist have the jurisdiction to call other people stupid and ignorant?

i think not.

No less and no more than anyone else, especially the right.

What I LOVE about debating American politics is no matter what is the issue, the other side will demonize the opposition. Name calling and worse has always been a part of that. What is amazing is that you can't see that you're all exactly the same, from lies, dirty tricks, name calling to blow jobs and campaign finance, both sides are identical.

...and fueled by hate
 
Point out anything that I said is false. I'm waiting...

right here you started with a lie since you don't know what someone else's best interests are.


It is well known that a lot of right wingers in the USA vote against their best interests.


that's lie and once you start you fecal pile of nonsense with a blatant lie, the rest of it smells of prevarication.

One of my closest friends agrees with me on every substantive position. we agree on politics, music and she asks me advice for what she should wear for certain situations. Yet she voted for Kerry in 2004 and I voted for Bush How could that be? because to her abortion rights were the most important issue to her-she is the mother of two girls who currently are in their twenties. She believed the Democrats appointing judges would be in the best interest of her daughters.

so you claiming that right wingers vote against their best interests is bovine excrement but its typical of left-wingers. The entire premise of leftwing control freaks is that they know more about what is in your best interest than you do and that is why they think they ought to control your life.

Sorry but I know what is in my best interest far better than you can ever imagine
 

The only reason I didn't vote for Hillary is because of those terrible pants suits.
