DP but for starters, one is a student protest group and one is an affiliate of the Republican Party with ties to the current administration (including some people who have worked in government). To be clear I don’t agree with the message “death to collaborators.” But it seems to be students in response to a particular Gazan death. Whereas the text chat was ongoing for months using slurs over 250 times. These are the people age 18-40 in line to take over the Republican Party. And we haven’t heard any condemnation from the White House … |
Maybe to your face. And maybe you’ve been lucky at not coming across the worst of the party. But look at how Ramaswamy was treated at the recent Turning Point USA event or the slurs in the young republicans text chat. There is a sizeable base of the Republican Party who deep down will never view minorities, women, immigrants, and lgbtq people as equals. |
Are you seriously asking the PP to spoonfeed you the differences between people who have actual positions of power within the Republican party and a widely-condemned group whose greatest accomplishments include vowing not to vote for Democrats and being vehemently antisemitic (hey, sounds like they'd fit right in with Trump's proud boys!)? |
I certainly agree that the Young Republicans’ messaging is loathsome, despicable, and that those responsible should be sh*tcanned from every position they currently hold. But your distinctions between them and SJP are tenuous at best. Both groups are leaders of their movement (SJP is national and was instrumental in organizing protests across the US). Secondly, this is hardly a “one off” from SJP. Multiple statements and actions supporting Hamas. Bottom line: if we’re going to use statements by some members of a movement to draw conclusions about *everyone* in a movement (as many here are doing), we should apply that logic consistently and without partisan bias. Me? I think some/many MAGA are racists, some/many are not. And some/many of the campus protesters support Hamas, and some/many do not. |
Do you seriously not understand the common principle at issue here? If not, my sincere sympathy. |
Suuuurrrre. It’s much more likely you get paid to post from some troll farm or campaign. |
Oh bless your heart. Both groups are reprehensible. One of the groups is comprised of members who famously boycotted the Democratic nominee for president. The other is literally comprised of the actual, real Republican Party. Do you seriously not see understand the difference here? If not, my sincere sympathy -- life must be really, really difficult for you. |
Well, they may come to regret that when the Supreme Court rules their votes count less than white votes. |
You’re gross. The worst kind. If you were getting your green card now, or going to an immigration hearing you’d be handcuffed and detained. I really find your attitude sickening. Worse than racist whites. |
Is it really all that surprising that the proud Trump voter is a classic "f**k you, I've got mine" Republican? |
You lumping all black people into “they” is actually so racist. |
Right, yes I’m much more racist than Trump and MAGA because I failed to say “some.” Carry on… |
I don't even believe that post. There were non white voters but they are not still supporting this. This is some MAGA trying to defend the party. |
What's wrong with “death to collaborators”? Trump is blowing up Venezuela fisherman with the same slogan. |
You’ve missed the point and misunderstood the principle at issue in its entirety. Unfortunate. |
