    Remember, try not to downvote in disagreement. It’s important to be aware what political figures are saying.

    This does seem valid, based on cached searches on yahoo and bing. Sadly it doesn’t seem any archive site I use has a cache.

        Regardless, that doesn’t change what they are saying and the positions they hold. Glad they share it so willingly.

          Hes a fascist. Fascists are not deserving of civility. Any time a fascist comes to spread fascism they should be met with immediate dismissal and ejection from any society that claims to not itself be fascist.

          He’s here to promote a man who would have me stripped of all my rights to exist in society and either murdered or reduced to forced homelessness and death. His post should be removed and he should be banned.

            Yes, but their positions still need to be made. It’s like a cancer, would you rather know when it’s a little bump or consumes everything? If you can’t see what being said is horrible, you deserve what you get.

                To elaborate, we should seek to understand and reject their ideology. Not just blindly reject it. I am a moron but anyone susceptible to believing these people is in harms way. We should be trying to show them that it’s a lapse in judgement that this makes sense, rather than us vs them arguments. Rejecting ideology because we understand it and see it as immoral is logical. If I am seen as an idiot for this belief, so be it.

                  You assume others have not done the research when you see the rejection.

                  How much research do you think we need to do? Requiring high levels of research to repudiate intolerant, incivil, racist actions is… trolling. Whether others care to call it that or not.

                  I don’t need to have a 3 point, multi-paragraph essay on why I don’t drink bleach. I don’t drink it because it’s poison.

                  Same thing here.

                    Everyone has to learn something sometime, it’s the reason you have to teach kids not to drink the chemicals under the sink. It’s better for this stuff to be put on display as inappropriate, not buried to be found somewhere this might be encouraged.

          Tolerance is a peace treaty and OP seems clearly in favor of intolerance. “Enlightened tolerance” of intolerance is how societies slip.

          Where is your line?

            I am not saying to tolerate it, quite the opposite. This should be put on full display as immoral and wrong, rather than buried under the rug.

          Also keep in mind, the originally linked tweet was deleted within moments of the post, so downvotes might have been because of that. OP has since linked a similar tweet.
