Conservatives spread real hate and call it just my opinion. You're supposed to be fooled with their calm tones and words.


When conservatives complain that everyone is “too PC” these days what they’re really saying is they miss being able to spew their racist bile without consequence.

You are having a reading comprehension problem. I DON"T care if Harris cheated on her spouse. (she wasn't married, so she didn't). I care that she was sleeping with a guy, HER BOSS, who promoted her! How can you not understand that is worse, as far as suitability for public office, than sleazeball Trump sleeping with bimbos while he was married? Ok... if not worse, then DIFFERENT?

Yep, the guy just totally ignores anything he doesn't like to hear. That's why I had to block him.

It is about the same thing as always. Liberals despise the have to share the planet with those who do not agree with them. So they will try to destroy them and their liveleyhoods. Liberalism is about hate.

What kind of hate are conservatives spreading? I do not see conservatives threatening people at restaurants for example.

They just got it passed in CA that a 24 year old gay male can have his way with a 14 year old youth and not have to register as a sex offender.

Not true at all, some of us are misogynists not racists.

This is a perfect example of how the gays want special rights, not equal rights. 😒

True about the workers. You get paid on your output not on your "needs."

A business going under is one thing. Someone's livelyhood being destroyed because liberals are upset the the owner will not bend to their will is quite another. Like I said, liberalism is about hate.


Refusal to cater to certain customers is essentially virtue-signaling. You're basically taking the gamble that the customers you'll gain will more than offset the revenue that you're losing. And, again, boycotts are perfectly valid...as is legitimate public information on a business.

Like, "If you're x type person, this business will not serve you." How is that not valid to put out there? In a sense, it does both affected potential patrons and the business a favor, because patrons in that particular category will not attempt to give their business to that location anymore.

Also, turning customers away who are not disruptive is just bad business. If I owned a business and had a religious organization that wanted to patronize it, I'd be saying, "God bless you," to each and every one as they made their way out.

I'm not a Conservative and I have no racist bile to spread.

Everyone is too PC these days.

I generally feel the same way. My view is personal life should be personal.


That's pretty much the root of it.

Quote:
Employers should not be able to hold legal (now if you break the law of course its different) political involvement against you. If somebody is a true NeoNazi and attends an illegal event with a gang they probably have a criminal record. If somebody is a "NeoNazi" because they posted "build the wall keep them out" on Facebook (a common reaction to that kind of post), that should be free speech.


I agree that they shouldn't do it, but I'm not sure that there should be an actual law that prevents them from doing it. Reason #1 is because I'm just not sure. Reason #2 is because it wouldn't be really enforceable...like anything else, you just trump up some excuse to get rid of them.

Either way, I agree. The reason that Free Speech is protected in this country is so that the Government can't do what cancel culture has now essentially taken it upon itself to do.

Quote:
Now I can't stand Trump, more than almost anyone, both politically and personally. But, I will admit, that I have seen Trump supporters targeted (sometimes for just sharing stuff from the Presidents own FB wall) for employer retaliation in a way that I have never seen before. Granted as people like to point out, I am not old, but I am old enough to be social media active (not anymore, but until recently), for every President since the rise of social media in the early 2000s, and I have never seen it like this. I honestly know a lot of people who support Trump who are afraid to share their views because of personal or employer backlash, I have never seen it like this before. As much as I hate Trump, if you feel afraid for your life or livelihood to support (somebody who is sadly the current President), openly, that is not right.


Agree 100%.

Quote:
And, its easy for us on the left to say "good I hope they are afraid to show their support", but that is the wrong attitude because A. Freedom of Speech, and B. One day it could happen to use if a divisive Democrat becomes President. You always need to be able to look at things from both sides.

Also, I know you are a libertarian, that can be socially dangerous (I know from past experience), maybe not to the extent of being a Trump supporter, but its a great way to get mocked by both parties (and that is not meant to be an insult to you, I am just saying how the moderates in both parties generally feel about traditional libertarians).


I agree with the first paragraph. More than that, it's not just about Trump, but also about people being canceled just for underlying political ideas. Saying, "Build the wall," for example, does not make someone a racist. Disagreeing with BLM does not mean a person is a racist. Etc.

I don't mind being mocked by both parties. I can take it just as well as I can give it. ;)
