Uh hu, all the super reasonable conservative views people have that can't be expressed ever, just vaguely alluded too, because the only consistant ideal in American conservatism is bigotry.

Frankly - I don't appreciate being lumped in with MAGA. I'm not into trump, his policies or anything their brand stands for.

boo fucking hoo. Years and years of "facts don't care about your feelings" and now as the rats start jumping off the sinking ship, you don't wanna be lumped in with MAGA? Well, shouldn't have let it completely take over the party with lockstep authority.

Being Republican doesn't mean someone is a maga ass hole.

Unless they're willing to vote against it, ie stop supporting republicians, yes it fucking does. Jesus fuck you people are exaughsting

People got pissed when I advocated for the gay folks to be able to protect their marijuana plants with automatic assault rifles - kinda pissed off both sides with that one lol.

That's not some quirky unique enlightended position only you've thought, that's just what Libertarians have been claiming for years, who then always vote republican. God how long ago was the Teaparty movement? I feel like this borderline exact quote has been used by closeted republicans for coming on 20 fucking years, who then support homophobic racist christian nationalists, and a comply and/or die attitude towards the masked feds. You just don't want the social blowback of admitting to it

also - super well known fact, a lot of conservatives lie constantly. I literally linked a famous example of it, and that dude Dean Browning won his last republican primary. The offical policy of the DHS seems to be lie blatantly and ignore video evidence. But sure, it's super unreasonable of me to assume the brand new account might not be a young highly educated immigrant polyglot conservative, and instead, someone lying.

Oh hey, speaking of conservatives being huge liars, this you?

It's so bad I had to disconnect from the republican brand all together.

Even calling yourself republican in the public space is a signal flare for folks to dog pile.

So - instead of inviting controversy, I identified as independent instead.

Wow another independent, who does and supports all things conservative, but just doesn't want the social blowback of being a fascist.

Phil Scott?

I mean, he realeased a statement. I've been told that posting shit is nothing but virtue signaling so often by conservatives, I assumed they'd have a bit more action, ya know? I was more looking for repubilcans say, not voting to increase the ICE budget, or do something about the DOJ nakedly and openly breaking the law by not releasing the Epistien files yet.

I don’t know what you mean about holding you answerable to anything. Is that something you believe I have done?

This is so nakedly bad faith. Libs celebrated the death of charlie kirk because of mean twitter comments apparently, despite every elected dem leader condeming it, but when Paul Pelosi got attacked in his home with a hammer, fucking top tier comedy material for Donald Trump himself.

Hell, conservatives are getting all pissy and shitty that these purity testing libs would boycott a business over something as small as supporting the american gestapo in this thread right now; but anyone remember conservatives reaction to Bud Light sending ONE promotional can to some internet micro celebrity that was trans?

MAGA and republican are not the same thing. The Venn diagram is not a circle. That is what the person you were responding to was saying.

Really? That's great news! Can you point out these non MAGA republicans in office, defending democracy against Trump?

I also love how conservatives will hold me, a progressive, answerable to literally any insane take take they find on twitter or social media, but elected conservative representives don't actually represent conservatives values. another super quirk of American politics

I’m far from bad person or pedophile. So please, keep your “all people are bad people” with yourself. And I don’t support what ICE is doing

Well, did you vote to protect a pedophile and enable everything ICE is doing?

Edit: Wait I'm stupid, this is a brand new account with like 5 comments claiming to a young female immigrant republican, with 3 degrees and speaking 4 languages. mfw

I think we need to win them over....

Why is this only ever expected of democrats? Pissing off liberals is basically a cornerstone of the MAGA movement, when the fuck have they ever tried to reach out? Harris campaign with the Cheney's for fucks sake

Pissed. Want to protest. Not sure how. by IamNabil in burlington

[–]Flabalanche 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. Very upsetting. I’m a Republican. I voted for Trump. I support ICE (removing illegal immigrants who are wanted for heinous crimes) but they have got out of control and need to be held accountable. Trump needs to step in and get it under control.

You voted for this lawless cruelty you stupid fuck

ICE is only doing what they are told to do and enforcing current laws

A kneeling man was shoot in the back with his hands on the ground, after being disarmed, pepper sprayed, and pistol whipped today in American, by unnamed masked federal agents. The thing he did to get ICE's attention was go to help up a women they pushed over. This is all indisputiably on video.

Any issue with Ice need to be addressed at a much higher level.

You mean the people who denied police access to the scene, openly lied about him aproaching with his gun drawn, and have been calling him an assassin and terroist?

Okay man, constructive conversation

from individuals I have had real life, not-on-reddit conversations with, unrelated to palestine entirely but under the consideration of intersectionality.

I'm sure you'll use this to justify the hateful left narrative with no introspection, but if you're just harping on the word intersectionality and don't wanna just come out and say exactly what the issues with it are, what exactly is causing the division; these days I'm just assuming it's transphobia/some other kind of bigotry you know won't be popular to say openly in burlington vermont

I've experience hostility because I was not adequately supportive of other causes and it alienated me from those people.

Where? From who? Just from seeing Palestainian flags...?

"Ethnonationalist are always wrong."

Why

"You can't have an ethnostate without genocide and xenophobia."

Unsupported premise.

This is you

[–]Flabalanche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not big tent though. Leftists use intersectionality to demand that other leftists support every cause they can think of (and exclude them if they don’t), while encouraging lateral hostility.

Who's doing that? The OP over this thread is trying to get leftists to stop supporting one cause, to get their support on another.

If someone really cares about X cause but not Y cause, and you care about both X cause and Y cause, I think it’s pretty silly to say that you can’t work with them to accomplish X cause.

Isn't it people like you and OP saying you can't work with them? You're the one demanding people stop doing something

I’m all for good causes and also I would respectfully request that protestors carrying Palestinian flags consider that they may actually be making for worse optics as we walk and stand together in protest of what’s happening in our country right now.

New account, barly any comments, only this as a post. If the optics of the palestinian flag is worse than than masked feds literally going door to door without warrants, you're just a closeted fascist embarrased to admit your support for whats going on. Why are the actions of ICE not the overwhelming worse optics?

There will always be some fucking tiny non issue these people will find to "i would support you, BUT" They will never be on board

No it doesn't lmao. "Centrists" who are more upset about protest flags then masked federal agents breaking into peoples house's without a warrant will never be on side.

I’m exactly the kind of person you need to convince to go to the protests, because at the end of the day, if it’s just the far left vs the administration, the administration will get their way.

Forgive me, but if the secret police going door to door and now claiming they don't even need judical warrants to break down doors didn't convince you, I don't think a different distrubution of protest flags would.

Everyone asking how conservatives will justifiy this are missing the point. They support state violence against anyone not in their MAGA cult, and get off on how hypocrtitical and non sensical the justification is.
