98. So you're saying that DUers shouldn't even stand up against slurs aimed at fellow DUers?

You are arguing that we should not morally support each other here on DU, but that you'd feel justified in breaking the law if Trump won an election under the current laws - and that no-one can criticize you for that. Would that extend to President Biden? Your attitude is "I know right, and no-one else does."

You've admitted your "good American" slur was aimed at William769. And that you'd apply it to other DUers in this thread. Do you really think DU should be a place where one member says another would ignore fascism, and that no-one should point out how insulting that is? Should DU really be a playground for your taunts?
