I’m not from California, so I don’t know much about her; but this genuinely surprised me, especially how vicious and vitriolic the comments were. What’s going on there?

    There’s no extremist language at all. It’s a simple statement of facts.

    The right wing of American politics explicitly supports racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia.

    The fact that you got triggered and ran to “nazis” shows a lot more about you.

      Sir, you can drop the personal attacks, I already said I’m not a rightoid or anywhere near there.

      I have a personal friend, grew up on a cattle ranch, best friend was a black kid that worked with him. He voted republican all the time because he (wrongly) thought they represented his way of life.

      Some loser like you comes along and calls him a racist, sexist, homophobe, transphobe, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam does absolutely nothing but undo years of work trying to drag him to the light. You’re acting as ignorant as he is.

        “I can’t be racist, I have a black friend”

        At this point anyone who still willingly voted for the Republican Party is explicitly endorsing those ideals. Ignorance is not an excuse. If you vote for American republicans you’re outwardly and explicitly condoning those behaviors.

        It’s not my job to make them feel comfortable. If they support those policies they’re not worth the breath it would take to try to explain it.

        Let me repeat it. Ignorance is not an excuse.

        Also the only one resorting to personal attacks is you

          The fact that they’re taking my broad generalizations about the Republican Party as personal attacks is very telling

        “racism, sexism, and homophobia are bad”

        “whoa whoa whoa man, cool it with the personal attacks”
