why would you align yourself with republicans if you dont have republican beliefs?

Anonymous #5 3d

For me personally I have beliefs from both ends of the aisle but my views lean slightly more republican than liberal. So I guess I have more republican beliefs than liberal… that doesn’t mean I support everything from republicans and doesn’t mean I wouldn’t support the beliefs of a liberal woman. Also MAGA ≠ republican

I think they meant MAGA. My bf IS Republican, but he is not MAGA. He has basic human decency and doesn’t support the free speech violations and ICE raids. He and I both voted on political issues because we naively thought that one narcissistic president could be held in check by people with backbones. Neither of us is MAGA. MAGA are either ignorant or evil.

100% agree and this post should say MAGA, not all republicans are extremists! And the same goes with the left, I feel like I see so many news articles where both sides call their opponents “extreme” or “far” left or right… most of the time not true

I knew Trump was a liar and a narcissist, but I cast my vote based on each candidate’s alignment with my political aims. I now realize that if the lying narcissist had been a Democrat, I would have voted for them. I just didn’t expect one person to be able to cause this much damage. Naively, I thought we were better than this.

Then you are absolutely worth dating. In my view, as a liberal-leaning person with basic human decency and a moral compass. I’m sorry your party was taken over by nutjobs.

honestly, it’s so sad seeing some of the people i grew up with who are also republicans not realizing how blind they are to the bad things the party is doing, and how they think the administration can do no wrong

It is sad, but not surprising. Most schools are dogwater when it comes to teaching critical thinking, and complete obedience to an authority is seen as a good quality among the religious. The mental framework to blindly follow a leader and overlook their flaws is there, not just in how many of us are raised but also in human nature.

It depends why we disagree. If you think we should have lower taxes and more freedom, that’s fine. If you think we should execute LGBT people for violating your religion, we are not friends.

Of course. Anyone advocating harm towards others should be tolerated. But that is a VERY SMALL percentage of Americans. And social media would have you believe there are more extremist out there than there actually is

Not everyone draws the line at direct murder of innocents. Some people do not make allowances for the ignorant. Example: if I believe that Hitler is amazing because I am unaware of the Holocaust and tolerant of the “deportation” of Jewish citizens, would you be friends with me in spite of my support for a morally bankrupt leader?

Anonymous #8 2d

The truth, if you’re willing to honestly and intelligently analyze the evidence, is that Trump is a morally bankrupt, corrupt leader. Not everyone is willing and able to see that, and some even go so far that they willingly justify moral atrocities (such as underfeeding pregnant women in custody) just because Trump does not condemn them.

Oh come on… the hitler argument? Why is it always the hitler argument

And how many people do you think genuinely say I believe in (what you just said). They like trump, his ethos. And because democrats are kinda lame rn. Not because they are die hard supporters

What I said about Hitler was a thought experiment. If you’re going to he turned off by the word Hitler, I’ll say Putin or “school bully” or something. Just envision a bad person that your friend follows, aids, and abets out of ignorance. That’s the important takeaway: it’s a moral question of whether to befriend people who follow bad leaders out of ignorance.

Please please please, I really hope you are capable of thinking beyond buzzwords

Well hitler ≠ Putin ≠ Trump≠ High school bully. Nuance matters

Anonymous #6 2d

Not sure what buzzwords I used? Ethos?No need to be rude. Also you did invoke the hitler argument, which everyone on the left has been doing since 2015, so I don’t think it’s right to necessarily tell me to not use buzzwords

1

Anonymous #8 2d

Again. This is a HYPOTHETICAL situation. It involves entering the mindset of someone who believes Trump is doing evil things and seeing it from their perspective. The buzzword comment was in reference to the way you immediately classified the example as a “Hitler argument” instead of listening to what I actually said.

1

Anonymous #6 2d

Well the “hitler argument” is a buzzword for a reason. It’s literally debate 101. You’re using an ad hominem (straw man). Just saying it makes your argument weaker, not stronger

FYI I have no problem jumping into different mindsets myself. If you ask me to imagine how a Christian would see pro-choice arguments, from a perspective that every fetus has an immortal soul that may or may mot be saved if it dies before birth, I can do that. That’s all I’m asking you to do.

Reading comprehension check: 1. What’s my main point? 2. Define hypothetical.

Anonymous #6 2d

I did. I just struggle to see how we started with “you should be able to talk to those you disagree with politically” to “well some people justify genocide, so I wouldn’t want to be friends with them”. Like of course you wouldn’t. No sensible person would 😂. My point is you straw manned my original point I was trying to make talking about Hitler

1

Anonymous #8 2d

Straw man is when you misrepresent what somebody said, providing an easy argument to knock down. I cannot misrepresent what you say without making a claim about what you said. What claim did I make about your words specifically?

1

Anonymous #6 2d

Well I suppose the argument is “you should be able to talk to those you disagree with politically” which clearly you don’t fully believe in because I don’t believe we would have engaged this far if you did. But then again I could be wrong, you could just love to debate as much as I do

1

Anonymous #8 2d

It’s not exactly that I love to debate per se, just that I like to seek the truth and share it. You might notice that my point doesn’t seem all that clear. That’s because I’m not actually here to take a stance and defend it to the death. I’m throwing ideas around to see how long they survive. I’ll throw out all my beliefs if I think they’re false.

Anonymous #8 2d

The Hitler scenario was NOT meant to prove a point. It was meant to illustrate another person’s perspective. I was asking you to imagine what YOU would do if your friend followed Hitler out of ignorance, because that is how many people see MAGA. That would tell you what kind of hypothetical non-MAGA you would be.

1

Anonymous #8 2d

If that hypothetical feels insulting to you, I get it. It’s tough to imagine bad qualities onto yourself, but it’s essential to understanding other people. I do it all the time actually: there are people in my life who hate me, and I am able to see it from their perspective, understand why, and better avoid their attacks. It’s a useful skill.

It tells you how tolerant you are of friends who follow bad leaders because of their ignorance. If you were not MAGA, you would probably see MAGA this way because most non-MAGA people do.

This is the point where people usually give up on trying to understand and start throwing insults around. You made it this far, so I think you’re actually a pretty decent person

It was your apparent displeasure with the “Hitler argument” and subsequent reaction. Gave the impression that you took it personally, which is what MAGA would do

I should have known you weren’t MAGA when you showed signs of actually trying to understand our conversation. Not sure if any MAGA person has done that in a conversation with me.

Yeah. I’m very weary whenever Hitler is invoked because people often use it to talk about our president. Which I do not agree with. Hate him or love him he is the president. And we should invoke his name in the same sentence as a genocidal dictator

When news outlets spew bullshit, it is almost always of the variety that their audience wants to hear. News outlets do not convince people that a politician is evil, they harness the belief that is already there.
