There are people who are going to use this as the reason they "voted for Trump", but it's really just someone looking for any excuse to validate them voting for him, since they were going to anyway and are too embarrassed to vote for him in the first place.

It happens all the time. People need a catalyst to justify something, and usually it's to mask their ignorance of something, or their shame about it.

 

Those people weren't voting for a democrat in the first place.

 

Im saying that people who use renaming stuff as a reason to not vote for someone (who might or might not support said renaming of stuff) is a weak justification for voting for the other candidate all along.

Those who don't vote for a candidate (Clinton in your scenario) didn't not vote for her because what a lot of people argue over (trivial things), but because they felt that she was a bad candidate, they didn't go to their state and have felt they've been passed over/ignored/taken advantage of for a long time by the party.

They didn't need some random short term point for their justification.

 

I grew up watching John Wayne movies, loved them. There are some truly great movies. So I was a little confused when I saw the airport thing.

And after reading it I can see why. It won't change my enjoyment of his movies but I have no problem with them changing the name of the airport.

This is what people are upset about:

The resolution cited a 1971 Playboy magazine interview in which Wayne makes bigoted statements against black people, Native Americans and the LGBTQ community.

He said: 'I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. We can't all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks. I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.'

Wayne also said that although he didn't condone slavery, 'I don´t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves'.

The actor added he felt no remorse in the subjugation of Native Americans.

'I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. ... (O)ur so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival,' he said.

'There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.'

Wayne also called movies such as 'Easy Rider' and 'Midnight Cowboy' perverted, and used a gay slur to refer to the two main characters of the latter film.

John Wayne was a shitty actor, a shitty racist shit stain. The fact people, in the year 2020, are getting upset that they want to re-name something that has his name on it, is weird to me. It's only been JWA since 1979. Just go back to it's former name, Orange County Airport, OCA!

Wait, that just reminds me of the Oregon Citizens Alliance. Shit...

I do find it funny how people will argue "it's just a name, get over it" for both sides of the argument though.

 

YOU SHUT YOUR *&^^%# MOUTH!
