    Don’t judge a group by their worst members, but absolutely do judge them by their leaders.

        Okay, sure, I should say a “voluntarily associated group”. Just because you were born on some dirt that a government claims doesn’t mean you share values with that government’s leaders.

        But yeah, if you voluntarily put “Republican” on anything associated with your identity, yeah - you are a pedo protector.

          Thats you changing the parameters of your own argument. I say American. You dont like that I said American, yet give exactly zero fucks about the republicans who arent MAGA as you tar them with the same brush that is. That the folly of taring everyone with the same brush. You only look at one thing about them, and then slap other things on to them with no evidence.

          Theres videos online of trans women jerking off in public toilets. Pornhub, onlyfans, whatever. Huge vast sections with just this content. So, when you say that you support trans rights, which includes trans woman using womens toilets, are you siding with the only fans girls who are rubbing one out next to other women and girls while they pee and poo?

          See how quickly any topic can be turned into a complicated mess? And that just because you say something like “trans women shouldnt be using womens toilets” doesnt automatically mean they are saying what you think they are saying. Any topic can be complicated, and any topic can come from ideas and experiences that you may not have had or considered. If all you knew about trans woman using public toilets was these videos, you might think the same thing. And you hope, that someone would take the time to have a conversation with you. Maybe give you other perspectives.

          Being American doesnt make you Republican, and being Republican doesnt make you MAGA, and being MAGA doesnt mean you support paedophiles. Take that popular video of John McCain when he was running for president. Some woman slagging off Obama, and John was quick as fuck to cut her off and tell her that Obama was a good man that he just happened to disagree with on some issues. This is how its supposed to be. Not all this extremist team sports politics. You can 100% be friends with someone who you dont agree on all issues with. Its not hard. You just have to respect people, and judge them by the content of their character. Not their skin, not whats between their legs, or who they love. Just WHO they are.

          I mean, we dont agree here, right? But I dont think youre a bad guy, I hope you dont think I am. Neither of us are calling each other names, or throwing toys or anything like that. We’re just having a conversation… like civil people do. And I think thats pretty cool.

        No no no, you see the other capitalist party is the only reason this thing that we, the working class, all want and the politicians and their friends dont want didnt happen. If youd just vote harder, they’d do it.
