    Didn’t know if trump logic was a shot at me or the guy himself. That’s what confused me. Got it now.

    That's not what he did.

    He compared a situation where you could only blame one side vs Trump's situation.

    It's a valid comparison.

    It’s the quickest/easiest/most obvious way to show that yes, it can be totally one side to blame.

    Right but in this current situation you really can’t just blame one side. They are both responsible for bullshit in some way. It’s not one sided.

    I get your point, but I just disagree with it.

    You honestly believe that the political left is in no way responsible for any of the division in the country (the thing that Cippy is specifically saying both sides shoulder the blame for)?

    If you truly believe that, then there's no further discussion to be had.

    The biggest divide in this country is racism.

    And that is the fault of conservatives.

    How the fuck can one actually be "socially conservative" is bullshit to me.

    People are free to self identify anyway they want.

    And when people are free to self identify as anything they want then that means they're actually a liberal.

    When subjective opinions are stated dogmatically as objective truths, conversation and understanding is stifled.

    Dogmatically is way better than stating things catmatically.

    I wouldn’t say that’s the biggest divide. It’s a division among many others but racism isn’t nearly how it used to be. I also wouldn’t lay that all on conservatives. I have seen democrats be racist too. I also wouldnt make the generalization of ALL of one side because that isn’t true. Once again there is racism on both sides. It’s shitty. I think both parties really come together to create the same amount of division. Doesn’t mean that people involved with either party is bad. There are good people on both sides but more often than not this tribal like thinking towards each party depending which you root for is what causes the division and will continue the division.
