Should slurs be allowed for entire groups in discussions?

In this case I'm speaking about the specific slur MAGAts or sometimes spelled MAGAT.

I"m certain if I used the f-word variant, the n-word, all these bitches, or called all Democrats Pedocrats or something along those lines, it wouldn't be tolerated.

So is MAGAT tolerated because everytime I read it my fingers really want to type PEDOCRAT or some appropriate return slur I will think up that I believe is just as clever.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, since I use demorats and republicants to show disrespect for policy positions taken by them.

What are the parameters and or rules of the discussion?

:rolleyes:

When will you ever understand that a person can't fully nail themselves to a cross. You've still got the one free hand. Maybe even a free feet, if you forgot to start there.

Are Maga Republicans one of these:

Protected groups under this rule:
a) Race
b) Ethnicity
c) Religion (also atheists)
d) Sexual orientation
e) National origin
f) Gender (including transgendered)
g) Disability

If not, they can be called names under the rules. Maybe learn to debate instead of playing the victim...

I'd argue that they qualify under several of those categories but I'd also just note it is a slur.

Protected groups under this rule:
a) Race
Click to expand...

Trump supporters are often attacked due to race being referred to as almost exclusively white even when exit polls show that isn't true.

b) Ethnicity
Click to expand...

Trump supporters are often derided for being Americans by people who basically see themselves as global citizens. (No one is illegal, no arbitrary lines drawn in the dirt mean anything.)

c) Religion (also atheists)
Click to expand...

There have been a huge array of allegations toward MAGA supports claiming they are Christian Nationalists which hits several of these.

d) Sexual orientation
e) National origin
f) Gender (including transgendered)
g) Disability

I've done my bit here.

I would support your right to use them here. Not the terms themselves. They seem like flamebait.

Well you get to the point of the discussion, how is MAGAt not flamebait?
 
I like "pukes"...plus, it's actually in the dictionary. I didn't have to make up a word.

It is not even a very good comedy bit. It is just whining about being a victim. The rules for slurs are what they are, and Maga republicans are not protected from slurs and more than liberals and democrats are. The difference being, liberals and democrats have a spine...
 
Political identification isn’t a protected class.

🤷‍♀️

And behavior isn’t either.

MAGAs are a group of individuals that ascribe to a political ideology. What is offensive about calling people by the ideology to which they ascribe?

MAGA

MAGA isn't a party.

So the point remains, you'd support my use of Libtard and Pedocrat since behavior and political identification aren't protected classes and those terms are not insults, flames or baiting.
