Hi, all.
As should be news to no one, polarization and animosity between conservatives and liberals is at one of its all-time highs in America right now. There’s even talk of a second civil war looming. Obviously, there are strong passions and convictions on both sides, and people on both sides have claimed that the other is a grave threat to the integrity of the nation itself. I’m familiar with the views and concerns of my own side: we view Donald Trump’s (and his allies’ and supporters’) statements and actions as being an attack on the democratic process that defines our nation, and are worried that the strategies and tactics he and they are employing will make future elections farcical, paving the way for an authoritarian state (a dictatorship). I am less familiar with why conservatives feel Democrats and liberals are a threat to the nation and its integrity in similar fashion. My best guess is that conservatives buy Trump’s assertions that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, and thus might have similar fears as liberals do, but I also get the sense conservatives have deeper, older concerns than this, and that Trump was/is viewed as a solution to them.
Can you please try to articulate here what those fears are? And, to any liberals reading this, please refrain from answering in conservatives’ stead. I’m interested in their opinions, not your opinions of their opinions.
You have spent too much time online and it has friend your brain
your insults don’t change the history of whiteness or the meaning of fascism.
What is your opinion on the history of blackness? And why are you such a racist?
i don’t believe you
That’s fine, I voted Green Party until 2015, when I voted for Trudeau
I’m Canadian.
you can vote any way you like and still be politically illiterate.
Whatever you say, man
Your user name is ‘commie’, that’s about all I need to know about how you see the world. Good luck being miserable
a bit of ad hominem followed by a thought-terminating cliche doesn’t change whether what i said was right.
Nothing you’ve said has been right
blackness was invented by Europeans and has subsiquently been embraced by the people formerly oppressed by the concept.
eventually, I aim to destroy race entirely as a social construct
I am not racist
Whiteness is a racist concept, as would ‘blackness’ be a racist concept.
Maybe you’re just confused as to what racism is
one of us is confused, but it’s not me.
Sure, buddy
