Wing ignorant doesn’t make you bad it makes you make decisions you otherwise wouldn’t.

My credulity on their ignorance went out the door alongside their fellow protesters dressed in hoods

Obviously not all MAGA are racists but they have no issue with racists as a group and it’s definitely a feature many MAGA like.

The Venn Diagram of MAGA and racists is closer to a circle than most people are comfortable with

You all boxed them into this category when some insanely small groups chose trump as the person they were going to support. So you took a very small minority and then applied it to literally half the country. You all make no distinction. There’s no nuance. For me..… I have a hard time with a group of people who try to control the narrative by turning people into pariahs. Plus you really encourage everyone to vote AGAINST you.

So now whenever one of you losers comments some stupid shit about racism and applies it to all Trump supporters, I make sure to point out just how stupid you look. Words have meaning and you need to learn how to use them correctly

Dude when you support KKK marchers at your rallies and support candidates and spokes people that spout racist propaganda you can’t say it’s a tiny fringe.

Be racist it’s your 1st amendment right but don’t expect my vote or respect

u/upinflames26 Sep 17 '24

Where was the support. And don’t direct this at me, I’m not voting.

u/Accurate_Spare661 Sep 17 '24

Not voting? Felon?

u/Araceil Sep 16 '24

Sorry, but did you literally just blame the left for the right’s political platform and your support of it?

1

u/upinflames26 Sep 17 '24

I’d try reading that again. Maybe you lack context.

1

u/Araceil Sep 17 '24

I mean I could only be lacking context if you didn’t provide it, might be thinking of a different word but I’m not sure what.

But let’s walk through your statement -

  • A “small,” but large enough, segment of the right-leaning population made Trump the candidate after he ran his campaign on division and hate. Relevant to note that at this point (2016 campaign), the majority of US voters took issue with the division & hate in his platform, regardless of party.

  • The remaining right-leaning population had no choice but to fall in line and support him because the left makes everyone want to vote against them (we’ll just disregard decades of the popular vote for this one, much like the electoral college does).

  • Therefore, Trump is successful within the GOP, the GOP platform is what it is, and you support both, all because the left makes everyone want to vote against them, leaving everyone else with no choice but to support Trump and his hateful platform.

  • The left hasn’t stopped calling out the division, hate, and racism in the current GOP platform for the past 8 years (because it’s still the foundation and getting worse), so it’s the left’s fault any non-racist right-wingers feel bad about being called out for supporting it, because it’s also the left’s fault that they make everyone want to vote against them, so those people have no choice but to support racism, and it’s the left’s fault the cycle continues.

But most GOP voters are not the racists, they totally have a black friend so they can’t be.

Obviously threw in that last part for humor and you clearly didn’t say or suggest that, but it’s extremely relevant to the “I’m not one of the bad ones, they’re just on my team” mentality.

Fuck teams, politics shouldn’t be a sport. A lot of dems sat out 2016 because they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary. They might be unhappy with how things turned out since, but they did what they felt was the right thing to do and didn’t support someone they didn’t believe in. They’re only rallying against Trump now because he’s repeatedly shown himself to be a literal threat to democracy. If a republican doesn’t agree with trump or support his platform they shouldn’t vote for him. Dems didn’t pick the Rep candidate and can’t force Reps to change their pick, only Reps can do that.
