It's as if every time a pro-choice judge was appointed I started quoting typically eugenic arguments made by the left here in support of abortion and eugenics. It'd be obvious, and I'd get called out. It's stark, this contrast. It's right on the page before. People are moving the Venn diagram of Trump supporters from spelling his name out in guns to the stock market to other things. It's a joke.
It has become disturbingly common for people to defend the politicians on their side of the aisle instead of demanding that they change things. It's almost the antithesis of democracy, that people change what they want to support their leaders instead of choosing leaders who support what they want, but once these guys are in office that happens a lot.
It's at the core of whataboutism. Obama approved a huge stimulus package ar the start of his term? Yeah but it was proposed and approved by a Republican Congress. Wait. Do we like big stimulus packages or not?
Trump might have obstructed justice. Oh yeah? Clinton obstructed justice.
It's gotten so bad that we had palpable confusion when lefties brought up the trump comments about Epstein liking girls on the younger side and righties said aha Clinton used top hang out with him too and lefties said ok if they were raping kids then throw then both in jail.
That's not everyone on the right. And sadly I'm sure there are people on the left who would argue against Clinton being investigated for his connections to child rape.
That environment has gotten us here.
1 Trump says things that appeal to racists.
2 People accuse trump of being racist,
3 His supporters defend him saying that he's not a racist, and attack people who "cry racism"
4 people say trump's racist comments are going to get people killed.
5 His supporters defend him saying that people who commit mass homicides are mentally ill and not doing this because of trump's comments.
6 someone kills a bunch of people and has a bunch of connections to trump including using language he's uses and using talking points he espouses
7 his supporters defend him saying that it's not trump causing this
8 trump doesn't actually apologize. He doesn't walk back his comments. He doesn't give a speech saying that these tragedies are unacceptable and that the people who are doing this are evil. He doesn't decry racism.
9 his supporters have a choice, and their decision defines their culpability. Everyone posting here on an internet message board that thousands of people read can choose whether to decry his milquetoast response, or accept his actions. If you accept his actions, you should prepare to be judged for it.
And if you didn't speak up when domestic terrorists attacked the media, who trump called the enemy of the people, and you continued to support him while he continued to use that language, and you didn't demand better, then you deserve to be judged for it.
More importantly though, you should be introspective. Blaming the people who blame you is denying your own culpability.
Of course, if you're one of the good guys who has demanded that trump change his language, you can absolutely complain about being lumped in. Because it's not only the support of trump that's the issue. You can support a politician and demand better.
And if people had the spine to do that, innocentlives might have been saved.
Good one
Weren’t you the one talking about “debate tactics” earlier?
