Since countering Aldean’s claim the video only contains “real news footage,” Destinee Stark has received a wave of hateful messages from defenders of the song.

    It’s not bizarre, the right wing are terrorists. This is how they respond to anyone who challenges their fiction.

      That’s a very bias comment, there are hateful people on both sides. And calling a whole group of people terrorists isn’t going to do anything but divide people more.

        Last I checked only one side wrote a super racist song about killing the other side of they “come to our small town and try that”.

        I don’t see left wing terror attacks in this country do you? Because I see a lot of right wing ones, at pride, at power stations, at events with people reading books to children…

        You have an incredibly stupid take and the “it will only divide us further” narrative is just pleading with one side to accept the terrorism of the other as not to make it worse. It’s like saying that the abused in an abusive relationship is also at fault, “They are both good people, she just makes him so mad sometimes that he hits her, she should stop making him mad” .

        Also love that this is your only comment on lemmy….

            I had to look that up because I wasn’t sure what you’re talking about. I agree, that was a shitty thing Kathy Griffin did in 2017. She shouldn’t have done that.

            Still doesn’t change the fact that the republican president literally attempted to overturn a free and fair election via a violent insurrection. Still doesn’t change that republican politicians and pundits use violent rhetoric while attempting to take away human rights from everyone who isn’t a wealthy white male.

        The public actions taken by right-wing activists include showing up a events heavily armed, attempting to abduct politicians, and militia-style parading

        This isn’t a “both sides” situation

        Anyone still trying to claim “both sides” at this point are just willfully ignorant.

            One side is literally trying to erase the rights of people like me and my friends, while the other isn’t. So what I think is that you should shut the fuck up.

            Want to know the difference between people who vote Democrat and people who vote Republican? Most people either vote for Republicans or against them. There isn’t a “both sides” it’s “these people scare me because they stand for violence, hate speech, less rights for anyone who isn’t a wealthy white male, and they attempted a literal insurrection when their guy lost an election”

            If they don’t understand American politics they shouldn’t be lecturing Americans about it. I don’t go around telling people in other countries what their political parties stand for.

        It’s really not at this point. And claiming both sides are hateful is completely disingenuous at this point. One side is making death threats, talking about holy wars against Jews and intimidating the other side. It’s like saying your raving gun toting uncle is the same as his brother who said some bad stuff 20 years ago. Sure what was said 20 years ago is awful, but the other uncle is planning to shoot up a school because it won’t teach kids that slavery was good.

        The right wingers and their former president literally attempted a coup. Yes, they are idiots and did a shit job of planning and preparing and trump lost his nerve but they still tried it.

        In all fairness if the right stopped being terrorists they’d probably not be called terrorists.

        Domestic terrorism in the US is overwhelming committed by the right. Look up the FBI’s statistics if you don’t believe me.

        People are divided for a reason: because one side is full of fucking Nazis, terrorists, and their sympathizers.

        Oh, and “bias” is a noun, not an adjective. Maybe try consulting a dictionary before you misuse it again.

        Looks at people on the other side of the divide, ranting about the latest conspiracy theory, very against abortion (to the point of stoning women who want an abortion), saying that slavery was beneficial towards slave’s skill sets, wanting to expand child labor because “No oNe Wants to woRk aNYmoRe” (rather than no one paying enough, which seems to be the real reason):

        "I think I’m good. "

        There is no “both sides” to this. And the radicalisation of the right wing has been a very deliberate process.

        A whole group acting like terrorists is the problem here. They actually performed a failed coup.

        Ayo remind me real quick which political party is forcing women to give birth to babies that won’t live and putting their lives in danger? Also, which one put up barbed wire in a river to try and drown people/children legally seeking asylum? Which political party was it again that had a shit-fit about being “forced” to make a website for gay people and it turned out that never happened but legislature was made anyway because your right to discriminate matters more than treating people like human beings?

        If these are the people that you willingly affiliate with then you’re one of them. At least own it.

        Yeah that two sides shit isn’t going to fly anymore. There is nothing more to divide. They are literally terrorists at this point and defending it puts you right with them.

        Fundamentalists who make threats, resort to violence, and hate Americans. What should we call them?
