    This isn't the same. The difference is that our troops are supposed to fight for good causes. They are suppose to be the good guys. That doesn't necessarily mean every action they take is good but their purpose is supppse to be for a good cause. Trump is openly sexist/racist/xenophobic. You can't ignore that and still support him because it's rooted in who he is as a candidate.

    Stop using those labels all the time or people will stop caring about them. Racist was a big deal 6 years ago. Now it's been regulated to buzzword, eye roll inducing status. Which is a bad thing.

    He doesn't deserve it because he supports trump smh what a dumbass reaction.

    However I don't feel bad for him because he was clearly provoking it.

    your bias is coming through and you're really bending the terms to fit your argument.

    i could easily say, "the president is supposed to fight for good causes. he/she is supposed to be the good guy. that doesn't necessarily mean every action they tak eis good but their purpose is suppose to be for a good cause." and that would negate the divide that you just set above.

    that said, this is getting silly because i don't really care that much and i think i get what you're trying to say, and i think we agree to a degree, so let's just say that we partially agree here.

    Yes, the president is suppose to "fight for a good cause" but Trump has shown numerous instances where he wants to do the opposite. From stereotyping minority groups to generalizing to inciting fear etc. Just today he tweeted this:



    This isn't me being bias. It's one thing to not agree with all of a politicians policies but moral/ethics are much more essential. Saying you support trump but don't condone sexism, racism, etc. would be like someone in the 30/40's saying they support Hitler but don't condone his hatred for minority groups (Jews, gays, disabled, etc.). It's an extreme example but still accurate. They go hand-in-hand together.

    Assaults have happened at Trump rallies as well. Some of the videos I've seen nobody helped out the person accosted.

    I don't excuse it or support it.

    One of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. He got "beat up" lol. You didn't have a scratch on you and you were talking fine seconds after the "attack". Yeah you didn't get beat up lmao. Just because you're running around screaming like you've got a role in the new Blair Witch Project doesn't mean he was 'beat up"


    What an absolute p----. f--- this guy.

    I never used the word "justified" once in this thread. Nice try.
