I honestly just thought they were literally saying "Resist White Supremacy" nothing to do with Trump or GOP. |

If you saw a sign that said "Resist Equal Pay For Women"...
Who do you think that would upset the most? Women and those who advocate for women rights probably, right? That's who that sign offends and thus it would upset them the most. Makes sense. If you saw a sign that said "Resist Political Correctness it's Retarded"... Who do you think that would upset the most? Individuals who are cognitively disabled and the friends/family members/advocates of those who are intellectually challenged probably, right? That's who that sign offends and thus it would upset them the most. Makes sense. So based on those examples, a sign that says "Resist White Supremacy"... Who do you think that would upset the most? Take your time. |
Nobody said there is *nothing* worse than white supremacy. But calling it a straw man that you are over sure makes you sound like a sympathizer. Frankly, I love that you find this sign so provocative. It's bugging some of my conservative relatives, too; and they're twisting themselves into pretzels trying not to spew their normal soft racism. Also: you said "You socialist nutjob lefties...F you all." So, you're not in a position to complain about casual insults. |
Yeah but I would argue you either have your head in the sand or you're very naive about how Liberals perceive and refer to conservatives. It's gotten out of control. |
Just wondering, with your sensitivity to unstated implications, what your position is on monuments to the Confederacy? Are they offensive? Or just people celebrating their heritage, and people who see "unstated implications and meanings" are liberal snowflakes? |
Haha, funny! But seriously, aren't supremacists of any sort just people who think they are better than others? |
LOL. You can't win, can you? Poor little Conservative can't figure out how to denounce white supremacy without losing your Conservative credentials. The word "resist" means you can't support it on principle! That would be capitulation! You've thrown your lot with the Trumpsters if you can't figure this one out anymore. |
|
So apparently no one is allowed to use the word "resist" anymore because, in the minds of conservatives, it conjures up images of citizenry opposing Trump?
When did the United States become a monarchy? I wasn't aware that we needed to swear fealty to the newly crowned Sun King. |
"Nobody" - you said it (if you were the PP) when your only supporting statement to calling me a "white supremacist" was that I said crazy liberals are worse. Notice I said "let's be against crazies on both sides," which you casually ignored. Don't back peddle and stop calling everyone a "White Supremacist." |
LOL *checkmate* |
You said white supremacy is a straw man, too. Talk about back pedaling--you've ignored that part of your quote several times over. Also ignoring the point about getting upset about name calling and then reverting to calling folks in this thread "you socialist nutjob leftties." |

republicans and conservatives are giving cover to white supremacy. And their policies are racist.
So, yes, I KNOW I'm better than anyone who believes those things are ok. |
I'm a moderate conservative. I gave an explanation about why that sign is "offensive" to a lot of conservative because someone asked. Now, "sensitivity?" No, I don't really care that much myself about the sign - it would be irritating to see for all the reasons I gave, but not "offensive." If you want a debate on monuments, start another thread. |

Sorry, can you articulate again why the sign is offensive to a lot of conservatives? I don't think I understood your explanation, so can you please explain it to me in concrete terms? Why is the sign "Resist White Supremacy" on private property offensive to a lot of conservatives? |
