- dunstad 7y agoYep! The current GOP is corrupt in every way you can imagine, and by all accounts doing their best to turn the United States into a dictatorship.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoA bit of Slippery Slope combined with Strawman fallacy here.
- viridian 7y agoIt's some great irony that two minutes before you posted this, a man of straw himself appeared and agreed with the statement. I don't think you can call something a strawman if the idea seems to actually have wide support.
- dunstad 7y agoHello, I'm a real boy! I happen to support both of these positions, but it is indeed possible to condemn ICE without feeling the same about the GOP in general, and jumping immediately from one to the next is exactly the kind of thing people mean when they talk about moving the goalposts.
- slykat 7y agoI just wanted to see if dunstad would support such a ban. And they did, as you can see by their agreement. This shows how real that slippery slope is for many people...
- CamperBob2 7y agoPolitical alignment isn't a protected class.
- slykat 7y agoYou are right - I always forget that political affiliation is not a protected class within our legal system. However, I think it should be, because we've seen the whole ugly side of persecution and discrimination that came about during the McCarthy era and beyond where people like MLK, Chaplin, WEB Du Bois, and Linus Pauling were targeted for their political beliefs.
