Donald Trump: Political Intolerance

[Stavros]

To be fair Trish, Senestro did refer to Muslins, which you can now buy in packs of 5, without added boat.

[hippifried]

So, uh, Trish... Ya figger the fact that Hillary's been vetted to death already might have some slight effect on the trumpeteers' hillarphobia? Just seems to me that unless you really need the typing practice, replying to the Kool Aid drinkers is pretty much an exercise in futility that can't do anything but raise your blood pressure. Wouldn't want anything bad (like a hemorrhage) happening to my favorite girl. Get Zen baby girl. Let those eyes roll back in your head & follow the tunnel to the inner light.
Aaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm...

Of course it you get there & see a pale image with a duckface & bad hair, babbling something incoherent about walls, & telling you you're fired...
Well then... I'm sincerely sorry.

Every once in awhile you gotta counter Chief Little Hands' branding strategy and chomp the head off of one of his soft, marshmallowy peeps.

Funny, all of us who belong to or support the LGBT community who constantly remind people to be tolerant of others as well as their beliefs and associations; then come to make postings such as this speaking of distancing themselves from "friends" for exercising their Constitutional rights in supporting a Presidential candidate that does not match our own. The next time any of us wish to remind others to be tolerant, perhaps we need to remind ourselves of it first.

So we should congratulate our friends for supporting the candidate who wants to build a wall - a huge wall? Who wants to ban Muslims from coming into the country? There is a distinction between friendship and tolerance of the freedom of others to express their views - a distinction which I think your post overlooks. No one telling to go out make friends indiscriminately, we're just telling you not to hate indiscriminately.

As you can tell, I'm having trouble expressing myself today. I'll try again. No one is telling you to go out and make friends indiscriminately, we're just advising you not to hate indiscriminately.

What does it mean to tolerate intolerance? To enjoy a man standing on a podium mimicking the staccato, poorly controlled actions of someone with a disability?

It's not only constitutional to support Donald Trump for President, it would be constitutional to support David Duke for President. And while Trump is not as nakedly hateful as Duke, each of their actions are constitutional and support of both men is also constitutional. It would be unconstitutional to muzzle them, through prior restraint, through prosecution, or civil action for their indecency.

But you know what isn't unconstitutional? Choosing not to associate with people for any number of reasons, including their adherence to viewpoints one finds repugnant or their support for someone who embodies all of that ugliness.

Do I have a right to not want to affiliate with those Trump supporters on twitter who see my Jewish last name and decide to send me pictures of ovens with trails of dollar bills leading to their insides? Or to someone who responded to me saying I'm going to wear orange in support of gun control by saying, "if you see a Jew wearing orange shoot'em"? Is it okay if I don't invite this asshole into my home?

You know what, nevermind. Go fuck yourself for not even trying to understand why people might be disturbed by Trump and his supporters. And double fuck yourself for not understanding the constitution. F-

Tolerance is intended to apply to things that are morally neutral such as race, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation. One is tolerant if he does not pass judgment on a gay man for marrying his partner. One is not intolerant if they are disgusted by somebody mocking a disabled reporter, or people who are insensitive to that.

Enjoy it and by god please tolerate it.

So I have to affiliate with (your buzzword is tolerate) anyone who does anything that they are constitutionally allowed to do? So if someone says they think genocide is funny, or that they hate Mexicans, it is intolerant to not want to associate with them? Funny fucking world you live in.
