I can but in a different way, the righties and especially the religion whackadoos try to pass laws to fuck with people who are different. The hypocrisy of liberals is what offends me. Here's a pretty well known video of what I'm talking about. I think a man holding a sign like this is a FUCKING dumbass so don't get it twisted. I'm about as dead center right in the middle as you can get.
They both do it, I don't see why you don't see that. The loony preacher with a homosexuals will burn in hell sign makes me shake my head in disbelief. The entire cult of lefty snowflakes is a completely different kind of intolerance. Way more in your face. They are really proving the give them an inch they'll take a mile cliche.
There are tons of videos both sides can show depicting the other side as intolerant, and on youtube and forums, people express their opinions vociferously. However, in day to day life I don't really see much from either side. Sure, people will voice their opinions, have bumper stickers or tee shirts with slogans, and certainly have discussions at the bar or coffee shop, but very infrequently do I ever actually witness someone in real life demonstrating intolerance via their actions. Preachers on the street, or people at rallies will scream and chant and act a fool, but that's the rare gem that most people actually just make fun of. In life, we often glean more pervasive attitudes and sentiments from the loudest amongst us. Now, in the age of the internet, those vocal windbags get straight to your ears instead of the passing right by in a stream of verbose doldrums. We need to recognize that these people represent the tiny minority, not your liberal or conservative neighbors. Liberals aren't like X, and conservatives aren't like Y. These are two overarching terms without a true set of ideals or beliefs that one must subscribe to. I, for example, have long considered myself a liberal but would not yell or scream or attack someone over a sign saying gays should die or go to hell, I would not kick or scream if someone expressed their views that abortion should be illegal or that there is no such thing as climate change. I might try and talk with them, but that's why someone would be out there in the first place, to discuss. I'm tired of political memes of all stripes. They are hogwash designed to elicit a response of humor usually, but in aggregate end up tainting an entire swath of people instead of just the remote few who actually hold the represented views.
You're using this as an "in your face" situation? That was an even toned conversation. Awwww did it hurt your feelers? Because she seemed pretty cordial and barely even raised her voice. Jesus...
That lil piece of SHIT needs his ass whooped. You're REALLY using this as a depiction of how most Liberals act? Hell, I'd have defended that man if that lil PRIVILEGED PUNK tried to assault him. That man can stand there with that sign of he wants. Stop it. 90% of us Liberals would've defended that man. Stop getting it twisted.
That's your problem. Looking for truth on youtube is like looking for something organic or gluten free at Taco Bell.
I do see the hypocrisy from lefties in daily life though, I mentioned in another thread how I got a Hillary voter I work with to disparage Mormons without even trying. It isn't hard. Like I said, we all took a test here a few years ago to determine our political beliefs. I answered truthfully and almost hit dead center on the chart. Neither party is for me.
really? 62 million people voted for him, how many are committing hate crimes? Of course there are some, and they should be prosecuted or put down like rabid dogs, but blanket admonishing of all "Trumpers" just widens the gap between the ones who were simply voting for change, but aren't racist, misogynistic or homophobic asses. I don't support Trump, but there are millions of people who voted for him for misguided (in my opinion) but not evil reasons. Think about Mags, he is Asian, yet he was as big of a supporter as there could be. I haven't met him, but I know many who have, and everyone loves the guy, including people whom I trust. The vitriol is misplaced. Be as mad as you can at those people who commit racist or other hateful acts.
Think about mags? We don't share the same view on how the country should be governed so our ideas are going to clash. When it comes to some of the things that Trump voters want, I will fight them tooth and nail on it. Sorry, I'm not compromising on labeling Muslims. I'm not compromising on a fuckin' wall. I'm not compromising on Nationwide stop-and-frisk. I'm not compromising on the lobbyists and the racists that he's appointed to his cabinet. I could really give a damn what the Trump voters voted for. Just like you said it was misguided. If Trump decides to do some of the things he said, like allow importing of drugs from Canada, those are things we can work on. But on the issues that are going to adversely affect certain demographics of people, just because they are who they are, I will fight him tooth and nail.
