      Dope guy makes sense but that still doesn’t change my opinion that the article is rage bate on the level conservatives put out. Frankly I think it’s rage bait to sway minority groups back to the democratic party since trans people have been unfortunately the scape goat republicans use since Trump’s comments about Mexicans have backfired. Republicans have been gaining support from certain minority groups since that story has died down and democratic have noticed. And no I’m not advocating for tolerance of the intolerant. I just don’t believe we should make a big deal about a couple of idiots comments because when something actual note worthy happens it will just becomes more noise in the constant news of culture war.

        sorry that you totally missed the point of the video.

        And no I’m not advocating for tolerance of the intolerant

        that’s exactly what you’re advocating for when you say shit like this:

        I just don’t believe we should make a big deal about a couple of idiots comments

        because that’s not what this is at all

          Didn’t miss the point. The reason these idiots even have a platform is because you and OP are giving it to them. Your falling for the rage bait and spreading it through a post just how conservatives started to spread bullshit on Facebook. Unless your following up with an actual call for action your just spreading their message and so far alot of responses on this post have been just “fuck em”.

            oh, right… racism is our fault. because we complained about it. gotcha. that’s some real DARVO bs ya got there…

            “DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.”
