If you (vocally) support racists who are actively pushing racist ideology and legislation, then what's the functional difference?

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

He might have just been very brainwashed, tribalistic.

Actually fuck it, that's is functionaly just as bad.

Who exactly do you mean? I'm not being snarky. Thats genuine question.

As an example, when a known, unrepentant sexual predator runs for a high government office, anything other than "no, they are an evil person" is quiet support of their behavior.

It's much worse when the support is vocal and strong, it means their behavior is acceptable because they agree on other points.

"Oh sure, he raped/abused people/kids, but he really stands up for free-speech/gun rights/lower taxes/lower crime/healthcare."

It doesn't matter, their actions and choices have fundamentally shown they are evil, and are not doing anything to atone.

The fact that my statement applies to SO MANY people in office is just devastating.

So unnamed person is trump, right? Wouldn't that mean that US is almost exclusively KKK racists?

[-] BambiDiego@lemmy.zip 3 points 14 hours ago

Wut?

I said it applies to a lot, and I mean a lot, of people in office. I didn't even say the US.

Also, what's the leap in logic there?

Supporting a (despicable trait) person doesn't automatically make you a (despicable trait) person, but it does make you someone who thinks there's a level of excuse for (despicable trait)

He's your twice-elected peoples representative. Which by definition means that minority of "the people" "acctively oppose him". So everyone else met the same "anything less" criterion that was set for Norris.

There was a saying in the 40s.

"What do you call a table with 6 nazis and 6 German farmers?"

"A dozen Nazis having dinner."

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

But... doesn't that mean that Democrats are Nazis, too?

You know, since they are sitting at the table with the Nazis

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago
