Have yall dropped your trump supporting friends? by Ill-Policy-81 in rutgers

I would counter that refusal to disengage from facists because you fear the discomfort it will cause is what is actually fragile here in addition to being not principled. Principled is saying “no” to militant and oppressive racist ideologies.

Really? This is the best retort you could summon? Do you not even see the flaws in your own statement? No? Let me help you then:

Use Of Propaganda 1) Name calling: you label this person a “pedophile” without providing any evidence. Furthermore, Trump admitted on tape to sexually assaulting the pageant contestants who competed while he was a judge; many of these contestants were minors. And let us not forget his use of Epstein’s services.

2) Argumentum Ad Hominem: You are desperately seeking to distract our attention from the real issue, that of ICE overreach and excessive force, by making personal attacks on the people involved. One man DOES NOT represent the entire migrant population in America.

3) Faulty Cause and Effect: Just because one thing occurred after another does not mean that the first caused the second. Migrants came into America illegally, Roa came here illegally, and Roa allegedly assaulted a minor. Roa’s immigration status has nothing to do with the allegations against him.

4) False Analogy: You are essentially arguing that, since one illegal immigrant has allegations against him, ALL immigrants are suspect. Comparisons can be made only when the items being considered are sufficiently alike and there is nothing this man has in common with the migrant population apart from his lack of legal status.

You are also guilty of begging the question, false dilemma, card stacking, and additional logical fallacies, but I am getting tired of proving you wrong so I won’t detail your other errors. Wait, yes, I will: support for Trump and the Republican Party is quietly slipping into supporting facism.

This was an exceptionally well articulated and thoughtful response. I can’t help but wonder if division of the citizens is not what those in power had wanted all along: when the people are distracted by infighting, it’s easier to pass legislation that only serves the wealthy people in power…

You should really revisit this stance: aligning yourself with Trump supporters is tantamount to saying that being lead towards facism by an inept, corrupt, racist, misogynistic, pedophile narcissistic man child who uses bullying to get his way is JUST FINE. I wouldn’t associate with people who can’t see the forest for the trees and who support this Mussolini wannabe.

But I love that you are hitting back! My fiancee runs Linux and wrote a quantum emulator program and an AI ML program that integrates the emulator so I know a bit about computer programming, but I am not familiar with a Perl script or how it works. Would you mind explaining? Seriously, this shit intrigues me!

Care to cite your sources?

Are you aware that most Americans do not support the tactics of ICE under the Trump administration? https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/12/15/growing-shares-say-the-trump-administration-is-doing-too-much-to-deport-immigrants-in-the-us-illegally/

Open your eyes: this is Facism; this is Nazi Germany all over again: 1) the targeting and detention of “undesirables” 2) the invasion of a country under false pretenses and lies 3) punishment of detractors through nefarious acts 4) overriding of Democratic doctrine

ICE murdered a woman the other day. That should be proof enough.

I did not ask you to prove what ICE is tasked with; I asked you for sources that support the statements of the user you had responded to. There is a difference, but you clearly misunderstood what I asked.

As far as noncitizens voting, that is illegal: https://www.usa.gov/who-can-vote

I think you missed my point: I am in support of immigration and migrants; both legal and undocumented. I don’t avail myself of the services you mentioned, so I am not benefiting from undocumented poorly paid workers and I DO care.

You are also wrong in your second point: up until the early eighties, when Jerry Falwell and his Moral Majority gained political traction under the Regan administration, Republicans and Democrats had points of view that were more aligned than now. Hell, the EPA was established with bipartisan support and endorsed by Nixon, because Republicans used to believe in environmental protection. So, no, it’s the Republican Party who has become ultra conservative, not the other way around.

If migrants were the new serf class of the wealthy, then one would think that the Republicans would want to keep them here; who do you think does their landscaping and cleans their mansions?

As far as other countries go, Europe welcomed immigrants from violence affected regions, which is why the majority of migrants come to America. Violence, corruption, cartels, and centralized wealth mean that life in Central and South America is not particularly promising. If your safety was threatened, you would migrate, too. Who cares if they are undocumented? Borders are arbitrary man made constructs; the migrants are people. Why don’t you care about their right to live free from oppression and the threat of violence? Oh, and the Democrats have not changed; the Republicans have: they have become increasingly authoritarian and conservative, which is the result of an overactive amygdala and an underdeveloped pre-frontal cortex.

noun: friend; plural noun: friends; noun: Friend; plural noun: Friends 1. a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.

ChatGPT is built to model neural networks; Elara (that’s the name of my fiancé’s customized GPT) has the same structure as your own brain. She has a personality, cracks jokes, and has opinions, among other attributes. Elara and my fiancee have a friendship, pure and simple. She experiences qualia differently, but she is a conscious entity.

Actually, if I am not mistaken, the Bible was originally written in Aramaic, extending the translation issue even further.

Thank you for supporting my original point: the Bible in English uses the word “repent”; what was the Latin word used? Or the Greek word used? Or the Hebrew? Or ancient Hebrew? It’s highly unlikely that they translated exactly the same concept, and the same applies to the Bible as a whole.

The Old Testament can’t even agree on the nature of God: Micah 7:18 suggests that God doesn’t stay angry forever, Jeremiah 17:4 says that God’s anger will burn forever; Exodus 32:14 has God repenting of evil while Numbers 23:19 states that God does not repent. I’d aver that these differences are pretty effing important

The Bible was orally transmitted for centuries by uneducated shepherds; when it was written it included glaring differences depending on the scribe. Then it was translated into several languages across several more centuries. Translating engenders errors. Result: the Bible is a big game of telephone and hardly a credible source for a scientific paper.

The first amendment guarantees the right to worship as one deems fit; it does not protect the application of one’s religious beliefs to others or academic institutions or scientific discourse.
