I’m not going to go well into the details because it’s getting off the point but as a few examples:
“A Republican candidate running for a seat in Oklahoma’s state House once said it is ‘totally just’ to kill gay people in comments that have resurfaced amid his campaign.”
“The Trump-endorsed Republican candidate in South Carolina’s4th Congressional District called for the arrest and execution of those who advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and the protection of trans children.”
former Republican state representative Robert Foster: “I think they need to be lined up against [a] wall before a firing squad to be sent to an early judgment.”
There are plenty more out there like this, and an absolute avalanche of them couched in the standard political double speak and dog whistles that we are all used to.
Now I’m sure you PERSONALLY did not vote for any of these people directly, but these are the representatives of the GOP, this is what I mean by you being on the ship with them. You may not be the person steering the ship, or loading the guns, or pulling the trigger, but you are on the ship advocating for violence and murder, passing laws that are leading to death and suffer and pushing to make more of them. You are saying that because you are swabbing the deck and cooking the meals you don’t deserve to be lumped in with nazis who are running the ship.
So you literally ignored what I had to say entirely.
You are voting for that party, you are voting to support these people, you are voting to support these agendas, agendas that are meant to take away rights and hurt or criminalize or murder people. You might as well say “Well I don’t agree with Hitler at all, I vote Nazi because of their economic policies”
So I guess the real question is, do you agree with these positions? Do you want gay and trans people to be eliminated from society? Do you want women to be forced to give birth to headless fetuses even if it kills them? Cause if the answer is yes, then you are voting the right party! And they are fucking monsters!
Otherwise I’m starting to think you are just trolling and don’t actually have an interest in considering why people keep “lumping you in” with Nazis (I guess voting for them isn’t enough).
Troll. Mah man just wants to pontificate and thinks it’s up to you/all of us to convince him that supporting the Nazi party is bad. This idiot is laughable.
100%. I’ve seen it a million times with this lot. Patronizing and bad faith arguments designed to appear as though they are genuinely curious and open to opposing viewpoints. It’s all complete bullshit. Conservatives need to take a real hard look at what they’ve become and it’s not up to anyone else to convince them. Don’t waste your time or energy. And yes, I’m talking to you.
Yeah, I frankly don’t care how you want to confound the issue. This discussion began with an article about the religious right and anti-LGBTQ messaging. I don’t see liberals or Democrats claiming to be the “religious right.” Again, let me reiterate my point that you are acting in bad faith. When you are finally mature enough to open up your mind and your heart and possibly, just possibly adjust your sacred “whole world view” – only then would I attempt to engage in conversation with you. Until then, I bid you adieu.

Get off the ship.
