Which is why I don't understand why people started to counter my stance by bringing Trump and racism into the equation, when my stance has nothing to do with Trump or race.
-You- don;t think they do, but ofc it's the ideological support of good folks like yourself that form the PR wing of the racists ideologies. They coopt you. You;re presentable in all the ways that they, until recently, were not. When someone says "hey, you're a fucking bigot, why should I listen to you"...they point to people such as yourself.
When they present their bigoted little schemes and you say to yourself "well, I don't think there's anything wrong with x in principle.....so I support it" - then you coopt yourself.
"Whats wrong with border security rhythm" - Other than being a racist dog whistle, nothing, I guess.
"What's wrong with deporting illegals rhythm" - Other than "illegals" being hate speak for brown people...nothing, I guess. (Fun fact, they detain and harass those here legally -and- citizens on suspicion of being mexican)
See where this is headed?
Not at all. My stance isn't that it should only apply to Mexicans. It's as simple as that. Don't put me into a box.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
