EPTBut mostly we all need to above getting back on our bullshit. Don’t bite at the first angry post about liberals/conservatives. Wait to see if the poster was just grumpy or if they are just on an over generalizating rant.

shouldn’t instead you stop identifying as conservative? i’d suggest ‘or change the representation,’ but clearly there is a base there voting for them, and i guess they disagree with you(and me, for that matter, don’t know if that needed mentioning but to be safe,) so i’m still left with only the former. | ||

Its because of the hate. The way people talk about trump and the republican party is entirely through the lenses of hate. I'm not the republican party or trump but you are confused why leaping hate on me and what I believe is going to lead to anything good? I don't think you're dumb enough to believe that preaching hate is going to change anything so I can only believe that you're preaching hate against me because you enjoy it. Just look at kwark. He went from a snarky asshole to just a hateful asshole. I get it that trump is really bad and you don't like the republican party but I'm not them and I don't deserve your hate. Trump doesn't justify your hate. Republicans don't deserve your hate. Conservatives aren't a hive mind no matter how little you associate with them. | ||

This is what happens when the acting presumption from the Left that everyone on the other side is racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted. The true cost of identity politics is finally becoming apparent. | ||

Trump doesn't justify your hate. Republicans don't deserve your hate. Conservatives aren't a hive mind no matter how little you associate with them. question: when you say "trump doesn't justify your hate" do you mean "trump doesn't justify hatred directed toward you (sermokala)?" basically, i'm not sure which hate you're referring to. because trump's actions would seem to justify hatred toward trump himself. and the statement "republicans don' deserve your hate" seems odd; because a lot of the republican leadership/politicians at least, rather does seem to deserve being hated. I agree we shouldn't be lumping you all together though, as there's many different factions. and we shouldn't ascribe fault to all for the actions that only some did. (but ascribing fault for those that actually supported the bad actions/actors seems to be more reasonable) | ||

Once one group is okay to hate then its a simple path to hating more groups and hate is anathema to anything good in this world. ok; I'm just a bit surprised you're against hating the likes of hitler and nazis. most people would find it acceptable to hate hitler, but there are indeed some who oppose hate in all its forms, didn't know you were among them. [the below question could be moved elsewhere as it's less apropos to the feedback, shall we move it to the main thread?] I assume this means you also oppose the republican party as well it has quite a bit of hate itself? (iirc you were republican at one point, forget where you are now in regards to them) | ||

I'm fine with moving it elsewhere; I was simply replying in the thread it was in seeking clarification. but I could move my question part to another thread, as that one is less pertinent to the feedback section. shall we move your response and/or my question to another thread sermo? | ||

Right, you always take a conversation from "lets not hate on eachother" to "Gee don't you hate nazi's, everyone hates nazi's". Come on, you've discussed on the internet before. You know better then this. | ||
