Sorry, but what does Antifa have to do with anything?
No sir. I'm saying that the statement he made "there are some very fine people on both sides" was inclusive of both the alt-left and alt-right. Or I may ask you, what do you think he meant by "both sides?"
Trump's election--especially in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan--should have been evidence enough. Now you have Summer Madness in this very thread saying friends on Facebook are walking away. If that happens in the black community, it's devastating for Democrats. I don't know how it can be disputed.
When did I turn on Summer? My comment was about Liza B dropping the old, "I know a black person that's one of the good ones" line, we hear so often from the right.
You want to talk about lack of diversity of opinion on the left but the right only cares for black people who think like they do. Don't think people can't see right through this nonsense.
Isn't that current position of the Republican party, as stated by their leader? I'm quite sure it was Trump who said he "loves the poorly educated", and for good reason.
It appears both parties appeal, to use your words, to the "dumb". If true, doesn't that say more about the USA as a whole than anything else?
People who vote Democratic and don't go out to punch Nazis or engage in riots or try to shut down free speech they don't like.
There's a few of us like that.
They're how certain groups rationalize voting for someone who openly supports white supremacist groups. I mean sure, one side is literally neo-Nazis and KKK members, but the other side wears masks, so it all balances out and I'm not really supporting a White Nationalist political party.
Whatever you do, please:These posts are the reason so, so many liberals are walking away. Really, that's what they're telling us.
All this "KKK, Nazi" stuff. Just a new way to call everyone who disagrees with you -ist, -ist and -ist. But it's creating so many ex-liberals, as Summer Madness has witnessed. So really keep it up.
My friends that have walked away have said they feel the left has betrayed their values and felt it was no longer a party they could support. It's odd, but they say they admire Trump because they think his words match his values and he really fights for the common man. I try to argue that's not true, but they say the craziness on the left just makes them not want to be part of this mummer's farce.
I really don't understand where Liza B is coming from . I see new Democrat faces on TV giving interviews and running as candidates and none of them look like the Antifa types. They look like rational human beings not wedding to a religious-political agenda of resentment.
Michelle Obama has spoken out against Democrats reacting with "low" tactics. So has Nanci Pelosi. The Democrat establishment isn't in favor of the sort of tactics that the right has taken to for the last two years, of personal demonization and name calling. There hasn't been a groundswell of political revolution on the left. At least not yet.
The friends on the left that walked started asking questions like, "Do black lives really matter? Why don't they act like it?" They've also been pushing back against a lot of these stories with #LivingWhileBlack because they feel a lot of them are part of a setup. A few of my black walk away friends have talked about leaving the plantation, but I find that language to be rather extreme. But I know what my eyes have seen and it's amazing, I really hope the left doesn't continue to lose this amount of support, it's going to be a slaughter in November.The stories I know personally and I'm reading and hearing on #WalkAway are almost always ones of surprised welcome too from the "other side". Are there racists, bigots and homophobes on the Right? Absolutely, you bet. But the Left has so blinded folks into believing we're all a bunch of mask-wearing KKK members (imagine me rolling my eyes over here) that people are almost stunned to discover that's a lie. It's just a lie.
Are there cultural differences? Of course. I don't know what it's like to be black, Asian, Latino. Or a man, for that matter. But the Right is a LOT more accepting than ex-liberals thought. What we more commonly hear is a LOT of nasty blowback from their former friends. Really nasty blowback too.
