Now for something to add to Trump crying about demanding an apology.

So by the GOP, illegal immigrants aren't the only people they hope to deport.

Party of free speech.

This thread has entered the realm of dejection throwing back and forth. Brace for impact. Or don't, and just sip coffee while avoiding the projectiles, danmaku-style.

People love to complain again and again without actually doing something impactful towards what they're complaining about, after all, and while protests erupted left and right, they're powerless in the face of the country's majority voting for what protesters deem wrong, so I guess the only choice now is to wait for the result of Trump's first moves. And while this thread's usual dramaturges will complain, I doubt it'll be as deathly and as negative as expected.

Meanwhile, I'll keep sipping my coffee while watching another third-world country burn.

Eggs didn't go down in price once Trump took office.

I think it's a lot easier to "avoid the projectiles" if you don't live in the country. The people unfortunate enough to actually have to deal with the results may be slightly more invested in politics that has a direct impact on their lives.

I don't differentiate the people behind this from any other 2024 Trump voter.

This is far beyond insulting and you should feel ashamed of your post.

It's nice to be ignorant, I guess. I don't have that luxury. Truth be told, the popularity of Trump's style of post-truth politics and demonization of queer people (and the results) is not contingent on him being in office, but I'm sure the force multipliers are getting into place. Instagram has already started their process of Gleichschaltung and is now censoring an elbow long list of hashtags, while resetting customized feeds to spew the reactionary propaganda that made this a problem in the first place. Not even Elon Musk was that mask off about it, but I guess Mark has been "hiding his power/fascist" level for a while. Free speech my ass.

Nope. These people aren't a deal breaker and Trump voters were willing to stand alongside these people in 2017's Unite the Right rally. So Trump voters are gonna have to deal with being lumped together with the KKK, Neo Nazis and the like.

False equivalency and weird deflection. Maybe reevaluate your values if being lumped together bothers you because you will continue to be.

It's actually not a false equivalency at all. It's spot on.

Oh, you don't understand the word equivalency. Got it.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

Oh, you don't understand the word equivalency. Got it.

But it's literally equivalent.

Bad group believes in thing.
You believe in thing.
You = bad group

Bad person likes thing.
You like thing.
You = bad person.

Equivalent.

Don't bother. The more you explain his obstinance and hypocrisy, the worse it gets. Eventually it will be, "Oh, so you don't understand numbers." or "You've made it clear you're ignorant of water."

Utter nonsense. Why do the KKK, Nazi, Proud Boys, 3%ers support Trump, and why doesn't the rest of the party even attempt to denounce it.

The modern GOP has a KKK/Nazi problem, and this isn't a deal breaker for Trump voters.

So logically, there's no reason to differentiate a 2024 Trump voter from the above groups. I'm not even taking Trump's rhetoric into the equation here which you all conveniently ignore and deflect as well.

Boils down to everything I needed to know about a Trump voter, I learned from the 2017 Charlottesville Rally where all these groups stood together unified.

aren't you the guy who ran away from my 5 peer reviewed studies conducted way before anyone ever uttered the word DEI

Not every Trump voter is a closeted Klansman. I know plenty of people who voted for him simply because he was the loudest voice. Many people in my generation don't follow politics at all, and yet voted for Trump anyway simply because he was the loudest voice in the room.
Frustrating? Absolutely. Skipping on one's due diligence for smart voting? Absolutely. But that doesn't invalidate the vote itself and it doesn't automatically equate every Trump voter with the worst of the worst.

Your logic is the same fallacious judgements used by hardline conservatives to designate every liberal as a Communist. It's literally the same fallacy, just inverted.

He did and as I predicted he'd be back with nonsense again.

His rhetoric also aligns with the mentioned hate groups and reinforces my reasons to not differentiate him from said groups.
