Punishing Trump Supporters

Wow, that's a really judgemental thing to say. Very stereotypical.
Well, they love harping on about god doesn't approve of homosexual marriages, but many of them are divorced and remarried. God doesn't approve of that either, but they don't care.

What if I were to say that gay and trans people are generally two-faced and often have no problem talking about people behind their backs and are often snitches..? Would that be fair to say too?
 
Our silence to injustice is a bigger *****.

I want to be able to do whatever I want in my free-time without being judged and punished by my work. There ought to be a separation of work life and home life... Like separation of church and state. I see it as a human right aligned with personal freedom.
I don’t think anyone who is not in the entertainment industry is getting fired merely for peacefully attending the rally, are they?

All the reports I have seen have been centered on people who breached the Capitol building. The OP is an exception ... that’s showbiz for you. Remember when the President called for athletes to be fired for expressing their first amendment rights by taking a knee? (I don’t mean to engage in whataboutism, though)

Not really. I'm talking legislators. Hugh profile media personalities. Those who decide legal policy and have the power to influence and sway them. Not regular people who dont have the power to remove rights amd civil protections.
And often snitches? Does this mean you have an issue with illegal activities being reported?
Amd hate to break it to you, but most people are two faced and talk behind your back.

Trump now represents the spearhead of a violent and arguably treasonous trend. If you don't think supporting him despite this warrants "punishment," maybe you need to reconsider your priorities before playing the victim card.

Trump's fanatic supporters are now being "canceled" before they can cancel everyone else with violent foolishness.

That's what Mao did.

Enemies of the people.

Only punish actual crimes? What fun is that?
 
I'd like Trump supporters to be banned from social media. I'd also like Biden by executive order to ban Trump himself on owning any social media.
Hi Suave. Respectfully: I can’t quite tell if you are a person of the far-left persuasion, or if you are a troll trying to make people on the Left look bad by promoting extreme views.

Sorry but I honestly am wondering. Are you sincere in this view? :)

I voted for Biden but I do not agree with your suggestion that ALL 70 million Americans who voted for Trump should be banned from social media. That would be a clear violation of First Amendment rights.

If people engage in unlawful behavior or violate TOC, okay, maybe those individuals can be banned.

The bigotry involved in punishing Trump supporters is very much the same kind of bigotry against any other group, including minorities, women or LGBT people...
Cooky, I think that you must take into consideration that what Trump's supporters did -- at least at the Capitol -- was clearly illegal. And if that is the case, they need to face the consequences.

It doesn't actually matter if they honestly believed that there was fraud in the election. We are, none of us, permitted to take the law into our own hands, and if we do, we will be found guilty and punished. Anything else simply leads to increasing anarchy.

I wasn't asking for an evaluation of the comment, of course it's bogus, I was wondering if you would find such comments offensive. I was curious because I think consistency is important, and I was curious if you also think consistency is important.

Your own words are basically a parody of themselves. The irony is absolutely hilarious.
If I knew KKK members, I'd be friendly with them.
I'm friendly with commies, socialists, fundies, MAGAs, & marxists.
I try to influence them appropriately.

I do know a guy who had a KKK monogrammed knife.
But this was only cuz he found it.
He's black, BTW.
(His family thought he should get rid of it.)

autonomous zones and burning govt blogs with workers inside?

I don't think analogies are going to sway any who
see the right as this monolithic evil.
