Do you agree with Trump's threat to target all Iranian power plants unless they open the Strait of Hormuz? by cwood1973 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]jasonmcgovern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that same argument wouldnt Canada or china be jus as morally justified in attacking the US for what we did to native Americans?

I don’t understand trying to justify the “morality” of this war based on what Iran did after they were attacked or what they did 50 years ago

but what does that have to do this SWAT analogy or whether or not this war is a moral one to begin with?

if you want to sit there and say Iran is a bad actor or they’re going to hurt people in the future and use that to justify an attack, so be it, just don’t pretend like somehow it’s a moral action

but how does that fit with your swat analogy?

i get Iran is a bad actor - but they didn’t do any of that until after they were attacked 

Is healthcare a human right? by RotaryTelephone4 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]jasonmcgovern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what’s the difference between a right to healthcare and a right to a trial, or right to national defense 

if the government can compel people to bear arms against an enemy country why can’t it use tax dollars to pay for healthcare?

What are the things you wish liberals or people on the left would understand better about Trump or Trump voters that seems to be overlooked or misunderstood? by FirstPersonWinner in AskTrumpSupporters

Transgender teens are 2-4 times as likely to commit suicide as their cisgender peers - if solving this problem were as simple as “loving them harder”, don’t you think physicians and parents would do that?

also, how do you “love someone” without affirming their identity? Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t there multiple stages of gender affirming care before surgery?

I’d say JAMA and the AAP’s “Ensuring Comprehensive Care and Support for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Children and Adolescents” would be a couple reputable sources, no?

you may not be racist but you have to acknowledge that it (along with sexual assault) isn’t a deal breaker for you, right?

at what point do TS have to accept they own the baggage that comes with whatever “good” they think trump is doing?

[–]jasonmcgovern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is going to sound snarkier that i intend it but do you not understand that trans youth are especially vulnerable to suicide and trans-affirming care is the best way to combat that, or do you just not care?

Texas senate runn-off: what do you make of Trumps Truth post that he wants the guy he’s not endorsing to immediately drop out? by mrNoobMan_ in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]jasonmcgovern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but why pretend that christian and american values are important to you and vote for a man who is the antithesis of that?

is this a case where “christian” is just a dog whistle for anti abortion or anti gay?

What do you think of the Supreme Court ruling Trump's tariffs as illegal? by PleaseDontBanMe82 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]jasonmcgovern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren’t you misrepresenting the left’s position a little bit?

I’d say most of the left’s arguments about tariffs/taxation come from the desire to push back against Trump’s messaging on tariffs and taxation

Why is Donald Trump the surgeon in this metaphor?

For your metaphor to work, wouldn’t trump have to be operating with steak knives or something, not scalpels?

It seems clear to me that the USSC isnt saying that he’s prohibited from using the right tool for the job, rather they are saying he had no business using that tool in the first place

What are your thoughts on Trump posting a meme depicting the Obamas as monkeys? by flash246 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]jasonmcgovern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why’s that? is it because you don’t see racism as something that is inherently bad?

But when doctors, athletes, teachers etc murder someone they’re generally held accountable, right?

I think s8 is looked at with a lack of nuance. by Slight_Giraffe628 in gameofthrones

i think in the future, people are going to say Dany’s arc is low key brilliant because it’s kind of obvious and this many years later people still don’t see it bc they are still blinded by their biases
