I know that Trump has done his share of name calling, but republicans/conservatives as a whole does not do this. On the other hand, liberals throw around names and labels such as racist, sexist, homophobe, islamophobe, xenophobe as a core component of their current strategy. |
When did conservatives last march for those things? Not anytime in the last 30 years... They didn't march, and neither did libs, so what's your point? Libs should be held to a different standard? We don't march about those because by and large we are in pretty good shape in those areas. We haven't had major terrorism issues and the hype around illegals far exceeds reality. |
Not a plausible comment. This message board is constantly being littered with "libtard" and "leftist" and "liberal snowflake" and plenty of other namecalling. Your statement is either clueless or a lie. |
+1 Crickets. |
"The worst" tbat will befall red states wiill come at the hands of Republicans. And yet here you are trying to paint dems as being the evil ones for nothing more than pointing that out. Major fail on your part. |
[quote=AnonymousWithin this group of "white left", the sub group that is the most peculiar are the feminists that support refugees. Middle Eastern Muslims as a group is culturally oppressive to women. Within this culture a man can have four wives, beat their wives and daughter at will, force women to cover themselves, and even honor killing - this is the very definition of systematic bias, which is far more evil than the behaviors of any one private person. Yet some how feminists are blind to this, isn't this an indication for bipolar disorder? Trump gets torn to pieces for cursing or talking about pussy grabbing, but these feminists suddenly become blind to real actions that harm women.
This quote stood out to me, as this contradiction is the most glaring of all, IMO. I will never, ever understand how those who call themselves "feminists" can defend Middle Eastern Muslims, particularly men. It's absurd to say, "Oh, well not ALL of them feel/act this way." This is Middle Eastern culture. Women are hardly treated better than dogs. How can someone who identifies as a feminist defend these men and their abhorrent practices? I'll be waiting for an honest answer, but I'm not holding my breath. |
Reps don't march at all, they vote for what's important - jobs, economy, nat.security. Libs go pussy riot about everything but jobs, the economy, national security, because they don't care about country and people they care about their political agenda. Got you, patriots. |
NP... I work in IT and for the last 20 years have worked with Chinese IT folks, am often the only caucasian in the room. And, I know a lot more Mandarin than they realize. These are some of China's best and brightest where it comes to IT, and yes, they have their opinions of Americans but don't actually have much of a clue where it actually comes to understandin American culture and politics, so I take any conclusions in this thread with a major grain of salt. |
Reading comprehension and understanding American values is obviously not your strong suit. Liberals also vote for national security, jobs and the economy but unlike you, they don't just stop there and call it a day. |
The thing is liberals go around marching in things like the women's march. What rights are going to get taken away under Trump? Like what rights do you have now that you won't have any longer? Like the March for science, what's going on with that? Has a new executive order been passed down to burn all science books and and end teaching in school? |
Liberals spend most of their time on Tumblr complaining about the patriarchy. |
Occupy Wall Street? |
THis was actually the bullshit they fed the military. Many of them came back completely disillusioned. I had to hold my tongue at a party thrown by some folks I babysat for when the Rs started babbling on about how great we were for the women of Iraq. It was like the new Fox News talking point that week. 'Cause THAT was the reason we started an unnecessary war? Riiiiight. Not to mention, we weren't that good for most of them either. |
Actually Russians are not my countrymen, they are in the war with my homeland country. |
Do you live under a rock? Trump's administration has federal science budgets being gutted, climate, atmospheric and other science programs being shut down, rollbacks of regulations to protect the environment, parks and natural resources, rollbacks to regulations that protect consumers, and many other onerous things are being pushed. It's not minor stuff, it would take us backward by decades. People are right to be angry and march. There has not been this kind of an assault on the American people by our own government in decades. |
