@davidflucier Good grief, Trump, has always shown tremendous respect for those who serve this country. The families wanted him at their Arlington event. The families wanted the photos. He was being accommodating to them out of respect for their desired way of honoring those they lost.
@coley_luke@JamesSwan1754@RonFilipkowski Well, then, since Harris is a lawyer, she should have known to say “SOME undocumented immigrants are not criminals”. The fact that she didn’t tells me she was being intentionally misleading.
@StacyNi08915023 Ah, there’s a lot to unpack there, but I can’t do it right now because I have to log off for the night.
I‘m really enjoying this conversation with you and I’d like to continue if you’re interested, so maybe we can pick it up again tomorrow?
@StacyNi08915023 @SirBylHolte Look, I’m not a MAGA trumper. I’m actually an independent who’s voted for Ds as much as Rs because I look past the noise & vote on policy. I have no illusions about Trump but I can see past his flaws & focus on his policy, which is actually pretty moderate & even liberal at times
@StacyNi08915023 @SirBylHolte That’s the whole point, I don’t, and neither do all of the people assigning negative intentions to him. I go off of his actions,which haven’t shown to be racist. His lack of realizing how racist he sounds is something I’ve experienced w/people I did know well who weren’t racist.
@StacyNi08915023 @Gameshowdeejay@SirBylHolte I’ll acknowledge that, in this day and age, it’s expected that people will be more cautious with their words, but that isn’t who Trump is. Maybe a little ignorance, maybe a little naivety. Should he try to do better? Absolutely. But I don’t think it’s fair to call him a racist.
@StacyNi08915023 @Gameshowdeejay@SirBylHolte But here’s the thing about that. I’ve known true racists & I’ve seen how careful they are in their phrasing so as to BE racist w/out looking racist. Trump LOOKS racist because he isn’t. He doesn’t think in those terms when he speaks. It’s an unfortunate irony.
@StacyNi08915023 @Gameshowdeejay@SirBylHolte On this one, I agree. That comment was extremely tasteless & I’m not going to defend Trump for reposting it.
@StacyNi08915023 @Gameshowdeejay@SirBylHolte The lie about the “fine people” quote was that MSM & Dems said Trump was using it to describe Nazis & white supremacists. That obviously was not the case. My point about the Big Lie was that, by your standard, people in MSM & Dem party could also be called Hitler.
@CastleBroadview@tobornwith@NicoleShanahan Then you and I disagree entirely. I am a free speech absolutist. With very few exceptions for things like yelling, “fire”, in a theater, people are responsible for how they respond to the words of others, not the other way around.
@SirBylHolte I feel the same about other accounts on this platform that belong to people I’ve never heard of. They have 1000s of followers, they post nothing but lies & propaganda which get 1000s of likes & they never respond to replies that discredit their posts. They hit & run.
@Gameshowdeejay@SirBylHolte Would you agree there is a difference between Trump calling people juvenile nicknames and him being called a literal Nazi, white supremacist, racist, and extremist?
@RyanMarino@teacherinRI Have you done any research on causality between the increase in cases and higher risk of exposure from infected, unvaccinated illegals?
