I still have good friends who are anti-Trump Republican, and like most people of generally moderate temperament/political leanings, I find the pride some are taking in indulging their “outgroup bias” of “anyone who is a ____ is a ____” to be kind of a horrifying development in “woke” society.

And Andrew Jackson was a Democrat and Lincoln a Republican. Times change.

Thank you. As a Republican who didn’t vote for Trump (I really tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he kept disappointing me until I gave up on him) I feel like I can happily go about with you leftists but Trump supporters hurt my head.

because the production’s titular character is modeled after Donald Trump, and gets killed at the end in the middle of the play.

As much as I’d like to angrily shout that this is some spineless fucking bullshit, the guy does have a point when he mentions the idea of the “Public” theater belonging to everybody, and thus should probably stay clear of a story that could isolate large swaths of the public. That is, if, of course, the same action is…

Ah, so by that logic, say if they were in a mosque and holding a Koran, then she would be totally fine labeling them as “Muslim Terrorists”?

Cecilia, this cult is about as Christian as the Mansons are. I think you’re tossing around the label a little too liberally, and misidentifying them.

At best, they’re appropriating symbols, not theology.

I don’t hate many things, but I truly hate this Kinja format. I click an article to read that article and when I scroll down to the comments I’m immediately met with another one and it looks like I haven’t left the front page and it’s all convoluted and the never-ending scrolling is annoying.

I used to be a “liberal” in the same way. I think we’re both now called moderates because we stayed where we were while politics moved around.

I’m team Ariel winters mom. This child is lost and looking for trouble.

Sure he can. It’s just a dick move. Besides, he doesn’t seem to understand that the original post he replied to wasn’t trying to equate the organizations.

Hey, you asked me to name someone killed by those groups, I answered. You can’t go moving the goalposts.

Black Panthers - Alex Rackley

Yes.

Yes? If ISIS supporters wanted to do that I wouldn’t stop them from outing themselves to federal agents.

The United States Constitution is actually a really good thing and defending those rights actually makes for a better country

They were rhetorical.

If I was a KKK supporter you would be correct in that. But I’m not. I’m not countering anyone’s opinion because I didn’t express an opinion. I simply pointed out that organizations with a history of murder and torture and whatnot are still around and you can join them and they are still allowed to assemble…

You’d think Trump would’ve made people realize that you don’t want the government in charge of who’s allowed to assemble.  

The Black Panthers can, right?
