(135,425 posts)I don't mean to be rude in saying that, but every conversation we've had, you're arguing from a wingnut hill. The "Oooooh, what will THEY think?" tack that you're using this time is especially irritating and frankly, hypocritical.
You're talking about how YOU want discussion?
Why are you telling US to shut up, then? To be afraid of what "THEY" (they being those racist, sexist, hate-filled Trump-humpers) think?
Really. It gets old.
This IS "Democratic" Underground. Most of us here lean LEFT, not right.
And using the "It makes it harder for US to get the word out" argument is equally disingenuous. Gee look, a right BASTARD treats his wife like shit--but don't say anything because you don't want to OFFEND the right bastard Trumphumping asshole voters who treat THEIR wives like shit...
Your arguments are really lousy. They're not legitimate--they're "Shut up--don't make the racist/sexist bigots FEEEEEL BAD." The fact of the matter is this: This kind of story ENERGIZES us--it makes us see what a PIG looks like, and the more these stories are spread about, maybe some of those racist, sexist Trumphumpers (or their enabling, turn-a-blind-eye wives) will start to get a feeling of ... UNEASE. They'll realize this kind of sleazy, shit behavior is just NOT ACCEPTABLE.
You're in a hole--stop digging. Stop NORMALIZING this abnormal bastard. His behavior is WRONG. His attitudes/views are archaic at best, disgusting at worst.
