Do you support abortion?
Do you think that Nazis should have some restrictions on their free speech?
Do you oppose prayer being led by teachers in public schools?
Do you support gun control?
If yes to any of the above, a political opponent could easily say that you in fact are actively working to oppress others and that your views are harmful. To which Im sure you would reply that no, those stances are about protecting and empowering people, but thats really a matter of perspective and conservatives would say the same thing about their principles. I’m sorry that this makes me sound like a smug enlightened centrist, cause I’m not remotely a centrist, but I think it’s narrow-minded to believe that only people with your worldview are fundamentally good.
Do I believe rape is bad? Of course, and I believe the accusations and therefore I believe Trump is a bad person. But the vast majority of his supporters don’t believe the accusations, so it’s not fair to accuse them of knowingly supporting a rapist. Honest question, do you really believe 40% of the US population is shitty and evil?
I’ve always been against restricting the speech of nazis because if you don’t let them voice their stupid opinions, how do you know who deserves to get repeatedly punched in the face until they can no longer speak?
Hmmmmm.
