As an example, when a known, unrepentant sexual predator runs for a high government office, anything other than "no, they are an evil person" is quiet support of their behavior.
It's much worse when the support is vocal and strong, it means their behavior is acceptable because they agree on other points.
"Oh sure, he raped/abused people/kids, but he really stands up for free-speech/gun rights/lower taxes/lower crime/healthcare."
It doesn't matter, their actions and choices have fundamentally shown they are evil, and are not doing anything to atone.
The fact that my statement applies to SO MANY people in office is just devastating.
So unnamed person is trump, right? Wouldn't that mean that US is almost exclusively KKK racists?
Wut?
I said it applies to a lot, and I mean a lot, of people in office. I didn't even say the US.
Also, what's the leap in logic there?
Supporting a (despicable trait) person doesn't automatically make you a (despicable trait) person, but it does make you someone who thinks there's a level of excuse for (despicable trait)
He's your twice-elected peoples representative. Which by definition means that minority of "the people" "acctively oppose him". So everyone else met the same "anything less" criterion that was set for Norris.
Please read my comment again, slowly, instead of making up your own ideas of what you think I meant.
What your ment is clear. Im talking about logical implication of what you wrote.
Your use of "almost exclusively" completely loses the concept. You are confusing individual support and majority voting. Just because Trump is president doesn't mean everyone supports him regardless of his crimes. Many people did, yes. But not even close to everyone.
