Republicans will claim this is further proof they’re being illegally silenced, their supporters will lap it up and rage hate online. And the divide will ever grow wider.
So? Kinda done giving a shit what toddlers say. In fact our nation is imploding by allowing them at the adult table.
Truth. You can't be afraid of upsetting the perpetually upset. Even if you do nothing they'll just invent something to be mad about.
Well there's something called objective reality, based on facts and science, not opinion. If you don't acknowledge it, any rational discussion becomes impossible. So don't be surprised if you are kept away from these discussions.
Toddler comment hit home then?
I've been hearing a lot of Neville Chamberlains decrying every action to hold Republicans accountable or establish rules to curtail bad behavior as widening the divide, but I've yet to see any attempts to bridge that gap(by the Left) have any positive effect, much less get reciprocated.
They don't care about fairness, or law, or compromise. They only want more, and if you don't establish boundaries, they'll keep taking more.
I agree, it has been shown that decoupling people from their source of propaganda can deradicalize (some of) them. So yes they'll be angry for a while, but it'll be good in the long run.
They were going to do that anyways, fuck em.
Yes, but, that rage and anger will turn some to act. Without knowing who all could be hurt, this should at least send a lot more of them to jail. If they can't be bothered to know the laws beforehand or have their guy strip away that power, then it's off to jail! I just hope too many aren't hurt in the process. Truth and rightfulness alone can't protect us.
