[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is it okay when conservatives use those slurs?[/quote]

While I don't think the term "flyover" is derogatory, the rules of use as it relates to these words and all others should apply equally to both parties.  [b]I think OP's point is that liberals hold their party out as the one of tolerance, inclusion, and acceptance, and what is clear following this election, if it wasn't clear before, is that these traits are often only exhibited to people who share the same beliefs or are covered by in one of their pet causes.[/b][/quote]

This is precisely it.  In a nutshell.[/quote]

Not really.  It's not lack of "tolerance" to put up with people who support a candidate who has said and done some of the things that Trump has said and done.  I don't have to tolerate someone who supports a man who brags about grabbing women's pussies, who spread xenophobic hysteria, called certain races rapists and murderers, who deals in fear . . . to names just a few of his traits.  So, I agree that both parties should refrain from name-calling (conservatives do it too, and I would argue do it more).  However, I don't have to accept those vile traits of our incoming President or be nice about the people who support those traits in order to remain "tolerant" or "inclusive." This isn't fiscal policy differences we're talking about.  It's an ugly, ugly underbelly of a certain branch of the Republican party and it is the foundation for this presidency.

Nice try though.[/quote]
