    Yeah well when it’s liberals deciding the definition of “ignorant” it becomes a relative term, like many of the other definitions they’ve deemed fluid. You know, things like “man” and “woman” that we just can’t quite seem to pin down or understand in any concrete way. The mysteries of science…

    Ignorant has a very clear definition: uninformed. So, if you ensure that the statements you make about VP Harris are actually rooted in fact rather than just based on salacious, incendiary, unsupported talking points, you should be fine.

    Ignorant to me means deliberately uninformed. I mean, there are subjects about which I know little or nothing, but don't claim any expertise. I say someone is ignorant when they avoid learning about a topic but still opine or even say they know more than actual experts. Exhibit A: Trump
    Or all the random dudes on Facebook who know more about infectious diseases than Dr. Fauci.

    Conservatives are so goofy when they try to do identity politicking. You can criticize Israel’s policies without being anti-Semitic. I suppose the International Court of Justice ruling Israel an apartheid state was purely a hate crime and had nothing to do with criticizing their policy either.

    I think part of the reason why these kinds of things go out is because they think it shows the hypocrisy (in their eyes) of the left.

    I.e., how they think whenever someone on the left disagrees with them, they get called "racist" (etc).

    The problem is when they say racist shit it IS racist. When they say sexist shit it IS sexist. But when someone doesn't blindly follow Israel, it's not because of antisemitism.

    It's kinda like how when Trump (or others) lie about something, they don't just do a white lie...they do an outright easily disprovable lie. Like, over the top how can I take you seriously lie. This is the same. Instead of pointing out inconsistencies, they spew shit like this or that "tHe LeFt WiLl SaY lIkInG mTn DeW iS rAcIsT!"

    The irony is the Republican party has embraced overt neo Nazis and anti Semites. Candidate for governor of North Carolina says Holocaust never happened and movies with Black characters are Jews taking money from Black people. Project 2025 aims to establish Christian fascist dictatorship that among other things replaced public education with Christian schools and requires business to close on Sunday.

    I said uninformed. @crandc simply added the word "deliberately". Nobody else gave any alternate definition.

    It's really not a difficult concept.

    Republicans said stop attacking Harris over race and gender. Good luck with that.
