You think that we elected a hateful criminal predator, TWICE, primarily because Democrat supporters were not nice enough when begging them to save our country?
Hmm, though I guess it’s true that any time I’ve seen stories ranging from rolling coal in people’s faces to ripping people with brown skin out of their established communities, there are those damn leftists and progressives doing CRITICISM and even sometimes using BAD WORDS!
I think you might just be buying into some bad faith arguments rooted in the paradox of tolerance.

.....how do you still not get it?
Subject matter: PEOPLE -- who are VOTERS -- WHO aren't STAUNCH Republicans already.
HOW...HOW DO YOU ALL FAIL TO STAY ON THE SUBJECT?! How is it that you all keep making such bad faith arguments and adding context that isn't there?! Why are you talking about morons and talk radio hosts, and politicians?!
Holy...fucking...shit. It's like you're not even listening to what I'm saying - you're just stuck on the same old bullshit, repeating the same old lines, you can't even see someone giving it an honest chance to talk about things. It's just hyperbole after hyperbole after hyperbole...
Is it just impossible for you people to understand that there are people who exist somewhere in the middle? Do you REALLY, like ACTUALLY believe that if someone has a SLIGHTLY different opinion than you, that they can ONLY be considered the enemy?
The party of people who constantly drones on about gender being a spectrum, cannot see that political beliefs are ALSO a spectrum, and refuse to see in anything OTHER than black and white?
I am not disagreeing that it happens. I am disagreeing that it had the level of material impact you seem to think it did. (“It” being the failure of informed decent people to kindly sway undecided voters away from fascism)
And do you notice how since I disagreed with that premise, you’re looping me in with these people under the umbrella of your multi-paragraph strawman generalization?
And speaking of “HOW DO YOU ALL FAIL TO STAY IN THE SUBJECT” I don’t think I see anything in your rant that’s actually responding to what I said. You’re just yelling a bunch of “you people won’t listen.”
I was talking about real discussions, such as on here, and you’re yelling about talk radio hosts and politicians.
I'm highly amused you think voters will ever matter again in America.
