Thanks to democrats way over using them, two things have become and absolute over used joke. One is the word racist. When a democrat is losing an argument due to overwhelming facts, the person arguing with them is called racist.

Then there is the charge of hate speech. Hate speech defined by democrats is ANYTHING you say that they dont agree with.
 
I'd add "BOMBSHELL" news to the list, after this past year.

This is hate speech.

There is a LONG list of words and references that have become an absolute joke because they've been so misused and overused, they now mean nothing.
 
"Breaking News" scrolling across any cable network news station.:roll:

They's so brainwashed, they literally believe we who are not fans of Trump just arbitrarily dislike Trump for "no reason". It's hard to believe they've bought into the con. Trump has accomplished NOTHING as president. All half measures and any fool could have done it better than he has. JUst and empty suit. They don't see it, it's a deep emotional connnection that logic can't break through to. It's a cult, no doubt.

Pick me. Pick me! I know the answer to the this! Two things that have become an absolute joke - Trump and Logical1's posts.

Typical conservative snowflake nonsense. :roll:

If some of you don't want to be called "racists" or "bigots"...don't speak and act like racists or bigots.

If you don't want to be criticized for engaging in hate speech...don't engage in hate speech.

But for Pete's sake, the very least you should do is stop whining when people share their opinions about your opinions.

Or Democrats could just stop using those terms to refer to things they don't like.

And thanks to Republicans, the words "communism" or "socialism" have become an absolute over-used joke. It is now used to describe anything they don't like, like "the new speed limit on the higway is so communist!", or "I hate pickles on my burger. They are so socialist!"

Or, Republicans should just stop using that lie as an excuse to avoid substantively and objectively defending their some of their retrograde views on public forums like this one.

Nope Democrats just need to stop misusing the words. In fairness Republicans need to stop misusing Communist and Elitist to refer to ideas they disagree with

Wrong. Republicans need to stop denying racism when it is exposed.

In fairness, it's not "Democrats" who misuse the word often. It's evident to many that most conservatives who share this particular WHINE....don't know understand what racism really is.

Recognising racism is important. So is recognising when the term is applied incorrectly.

What is real racism in your view?

That's the question for you. You're the one attempting to argue that "Democrats could just stop using those terms to refer to things they don't like", remember? That's what conservaitves like you have been taught to say whenever your can't defend your views substantively.

You're among the very large faction of Republican loyalists who repeat the LIE of the OP (i.e. "When a democrat is losing an argument due to overwhelming facts, the person arguing with them is called racist."), when you KNOW you can't back that up. You do that because you don't understand what Racism is....or because you can't defend what you've said or done and need a convenient way to escape the discussion. It's about victimhood for those who do this.

Heck, most of the time no one has even called you "racist". You just "feel" like they did. Lol
 
Ok you didn't want to answer have a good day

I see you have NOTHING to add but name calling. Thanks for proving my point.

Yes socialism is a joke. Just look at Venezuela!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Based on my experience, I believe that "racist" is an overused word by some on the left. We are all prejudiced in different ways, all of us with a lot to learn, but we are not racist in the sense of the Nazis or the old South. On the other hand, it is inescapable that Trump, whatever his personal beliefs, has taken advantage of people's prejudices to advance his career. His words about illegals, focusing on Mexicans and not Canadians or Europeans, wasn't the first time. Love him or hate him, no question he uses fear and resentment of "the other" to make his points and support his policies. We have strong institutions that can check his worst instincts, but his rhetoric is clearly that of the fascist leaders of the 1930s.
 
When Trump said "“You had some very bad people in that group," Trump said, referring to the white nationalist groups rallying against removal of a Confederate statue. "But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”

I'm of the opinion that "very fine people" do not associate with or attend to support white nationalist groups. I think people who do so are racist. I base this on my own observations of their speech, their actions, and their written words. Therefore, I am at odds with Trump.

I believe this revealed Trump to be racist. There have been other incidents that have affirmed my suspicions. Therefore, I conclude Trump is indeed a racist, or he at least panders to the racists. Either way, from that point forward, I believe I will filter everything Trump says or does through "he's a racist" colored lenses.

I'm old enough to remember a governor of Alabama, George Wallace, who was, for most of his adult life, proudly a racist. He'd say it to your face and didn't give damn what you thought of it. Towards the end of his life, he came to realize how hateful and ignorant his racism was, and he begged forgiveness from those who he had hurt. From then until his death, he disavowed racism in all its forms.

Unless and until Trump does something similar to what Wallace did, I will consider all he says and does as that of a racist.

but their ultimate outlier is calling anyone they have lost a discussion with a nazi, so they can claim they saved face.

You support Trump, who publicly referred to some of these members of his base as "very fine people." What did you expect?

EDIT: I bet some of Trump's "very fine people" are the guys wearing the MAGA hats. You just know Trump loves that ****. Amirite?
