Tribesman - in other words one who can’t discern kernels of truth from someone else’s opinion... you wanna try that oped again with that in mind? Or are you content with your prefab POV?
IMO the reason that the liberal media wants to paint Trump as White Supremacist

You asked for the same card in Go Fish 25 times in a row already. When you ask for it again for the 26th time, who's the one looking dumb?
I would have to subscribe to the tribal progressive thought that racism is behind every door to give that op-ed any second thoughts. I don't, and thus I won't. Still zero proof of your racism claims...
I'll take that as your admission that you have no proof and are just blowing the dog whistle like the rest of the progressive tribesmen. Unaware and compliant is how the party likes you to be. Compliance was beginning to become a problem but they've clearly ironed that out.
You can take it as acknowledgement that you have closed your mind off to reasonable discussion.
Closed mind because I refuse the narrative that has been overused in a non-ingenious fashion to compensate for shitty progressive leadership?
I was told I was racist because I didn't hike my skirt and cheer everything Obama. That was red flag number one. The shaming of folks who disagree with progressive bullshit might work on feeble minded folks, but I know better, as do plenty of people like me. I'm a misogynist because I thought Hillary was a shitty candidate? I'm an Islamophobe because I don't bend over and grab my ankles for intolerant Muslims? I'm a xenophobe for believing that secure US borders are a necessity to a safe and secure country? I'm a climate change denier because I don't scream like my hair is on fire at every single alarmist prediction? I'm sure there are plenty of additional labels I'm not even aware of because I decided to tune out the bullshit.
Democrats have an answer for everything these days. It's too bad that none of them are good policy and leadership. The rudderless leftist ship is what got Trump elected. Not racism, or misogyny, or Islamophobia, or whatever ist and ism you can cook up. Don't believe me? Fine. You can look to the traditional blue states that actually elected Trump for the answer. The Democrats have become more absurd than the intolerant religious right these days.
It's obvious you've bought into the party line. I asked for facts and was given two opinion pieces to read and a bunch of was was. It's all good. I don't like you any less. I'm just surprised an educated guy like you doesn't use his own brain to sift through the mindless party messaging from time to time. It's probably just the difference between a guy that lives a sheltered life of wealth like you and a guy that sees all aspects of human life, including some pretty shitty stuff, every shift like me.
It’s interesting, given your assertions of promoting some controversial progressive platforms - such as abortion rights, gay rights, etc., that you speak of progressivism as a burden on this country.
You contradict your own talking points so much, I’m not entirely sure you know what you are. You call yourself a classical liberal, yet you exude profoundly conservative viewpoints, almost from convenience and a personal need for popularity.
I guess what I wonder is, and this isn’t even necessarily a question for just you...
What’s the margin of “error” between a libertarian and a liberal?
Those aren't controversial progressive platforms. Trying to stuff everyone into a victim class and using shaming as a basis for compliance with the ideology is. You know who else does that shit? The religious right.
I love how liberals default to "closed mindedness" when someone doesn't agree with their mantra. I look at it as I've examined their nitwittery and thoroughly reject their premises. There's no need to reexamine their new and different iterations of their same old shit.
agree with this post. postmodern progressivism is a religion. shaming isolating and shunning are essential control methods for its followers.
classic liberalism was/is liberty based and bears little resemblance to the social justice “warrior” clown shows we see today.
Very much agree with this post.
can you provide a link to a single post of yours that would support the notion that you are open minded to reasonable political discussion? im relatively new here so I allow that I may have missed one in the distant past, but from here this post seems extremely tone deaf.
Righties speaking of fascism make me giggle haha.
Carry on lol
that’s because you don’t understand political ideology is spherical and communism/fascism are both totalitarian ideologies which aren’t especially dissimilar, and both share one thing in common - socialism.
Righties speaking of fascism make me giggle haha.
Carry on lol
in fact, on a correct spherical spectrum, a politically correct advocate (sjw) is far closer to being a fascist (or something like one) than any libertarian leaning “conservative” (ie - the posters on this board).
such a person is the intolerant moral equivalent of the preacher in Footloose.
“Fascism is characterized by strong nationalism, an extreme level of authoritarianism, corporatism, militarization and hostility towards both liberalism and Marxism.”
your unattributed quote in no way proves your point. hostility towards another similar form of intolerant, socialistic authoritarianism would be natural and expected. the finer points of the philosophy guiding the boot on their throats are lost on the oppressed.
Answering like a good little lamb ready for slaughter. The extreme of either side always ends with a government controlled economy huh?
fascism
[fash-iz-uh m]
noun
- (sometimes initial capital letter)a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
Laughably weak. The libs now feel Internet access is a basic human right but free speech is not.
Wow, I’ve never had someone make my point for me like that.
Are you a special kind of stupid or a LARP advancing conservatism?
Whenever the hivethink alt-right vocab (tribal anything, unaware and compliant) starts working in you know the discourse is over. Groundhog Day.
So you tell me I suck at this and can’t get past the 19th century’s politics. Lol mmmkay
