    how does that violence compare to the violence of being sent to a country where you and your family are in danger? how does that violence compared to the violence of being locked up and a slave colony? how do you quantify this? I don’t believe it is quantifiable.

      I said violence is higher under Republicans against minority populations, and gave proof. You are now saying that doesn’t matter and moving the goal posts.

      Touch grass.

        you gave one expression of violence that may be higher under Republicans, but how do you quantify all violence?

          Violence is bad. Higher rates of violent hate crimes is worse. Simple as.

          Democrats at least are socially progressive, even if their foreign policy and economic policies are reactionary. As such, it is safer to be queer or an ethnic minority under democrats. Republicans literally run on the platform of “brown people bad” and “immigrants are dangerous people stealing our jobs,” and as such under Republicans, hate crimes rise.

          The only way you can genuinely not know this is if you yourself are so privledged that it doesn’t impact you.

            so it doesn’t matter how many families Obama broke up or deported because that’s not classes as a hate crime? absurd.

              It absolutely does matter, it’s just worse under Republicans. Both sides are bad, one is worse.

              Go back to being a fed and spoiling the pot.

                it’s just worse under Republicans

                you might want to check those stats.
