Sorry but your post reeks of bullshit to me. I'm not the one who should get my facts straight here.
Ok, so maybe the wrong tone for me to start out there.
I highly suggest you take a deep breath, go outside for a second, and then read the rest of this. I'll attempt to be a reasonable as possible despite it being outside of my range for someone who just called me a lair and full of shit.
Good?
Ok.
Let's start at the top;
So you just want people to be silent and watch Trump spout his bullshit at rallies?
Maybe I'm wrong, but there have been people spouting Trump's ideals in the past. Every-time there is some massive movement against the guy, he only gains momentum. It's not about being silent, it's about being precise. Your post up there? That's an example of hot-headed reactionalism that will only fuel a greater divide between people. All the media coverage, all the offended millenials, all the fucking tweets. Your playing right into the dude's hands.
Last time I checked, we have the right to freedom of speech and we have a voice (and right) to protest against Trump.
Correct, never said you didn't. But do we have a right to beat up anyone we disagree with? This isnt about protesting, this is about protesting intelligently.
Last time I checked, Trump even stated that his supporters should use violence against his protesters.
Exactly! This is what the fucker wants! Can't you see that? This is giving him power, support. It's mobilizing all those people who never voted before. And by giving him violent protests, these people are eating out of Trumps hands.
That's inciting violence. Trump DESERVES to be protested against
Agreed once more! Its easy to find similarities when you slow down and read someone's post like this. But I also think that anything deserves to be protested against if you believe strongly enough. People are legitimately scared of Bernie and Clinton, and they should protest against them too. Should they main and insult supporters? No, I don't believe so.
and unless you want him to president, I suggest you stop being compliant and wishy-washy.
Aaaand here's where you lose me. This topic isn't about me, and I'll do my best to keep any personal attacks out of this in respect for your opinion. I'm neutral, I have strong beliefs on both sides and I'm cursed with sympathy for right and left wing ideologies. You call it compliance, I call it cool-headed thinking and long-term resolution. To me, a negotiated solution is better that building up walls, creating rifts, and encouraging violence, at least when my own countrymen are concerned. It's great that your passionate, but those Trump supporters are passionate too.
Facts aren't insults. I know you think they are BUT they aren't. Apparently Trump thinks so though.
Never said that, and if you read my post again, you'll see I encourage facts, and discourage insults. In a post above you just called Trump supporters "retarded." That sir, is an insult, and that gets us nowhere. Last year I had my standing on the Confederate Flag incident changed by someone here posting facts, not by all the people who called me a racist, ignorant, and uneducated. Show a human side to someone and you can hope they will show it back. If I made this post dedicated to calling you an asshole and belittling you, do you think either of us would make any ground in understanding each other and solving the problem?
How are we fighting fire with fire? We're responding to Trump's bullshit speeches.
Let's say Trump is an arsonist, his ideals are combustible and the heated rhetoric his supporters are using is causing it to light. Media, and heated reaction to those ideals only spreads the fire. Logic, understanding, and facts are what I consider to be the water where. But people opposing Trump, what are they doing? They throw insults at his supporters, they call them "retards." To me, that seems like fire with fire.
You're not saying anything to Trump's supporters though. Double standards much
If there were open Trump supporters here, I'd have plenty to say. But this is not the kind of place you'll see them prosper. If you want me to express my concern for Trump supporters, give me a PM and I will gladly return it. But I wasnt adressing the Trump supporters there, I was addressing you. I don't see that as double-standards.
Sorry but your post reeks of bullshit to me. I'm not the one who should get my facts straight here.
And there we are again. All I can say is that what I posted had nothing to do with fact, it was my opinion. Just as I never called any of your facts or opinions into question, (or at least I tried not too.) I'm just a veteran, college drop-out, and labor-worker, I'm likely not as educated or wordly as you, but I try my best to see all sides of the conflict. I have no bad blood towards you and I hope you can return the gesture.
I'll leave you with a picture of my puppy as a token of hopeful friendship.
