Clearly I need to spell this out more clearly. Do you believe that support of Trump should be without consequences? I don't have the details of the three cases discussed above, but the lack of detail is exactly the problem: It paints politics as a game that we can supposedly play with no real-world results. I object to that framing (as well as the framing that any degree of "support" for a candidate is equally damning).
- waheoo 6y ago> Do you believe that support of Trump should be without consequences? Yes. You do realise your position violates multiple UN human rights? Take a read through the lot of them. Please. https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ People have died to maintain these rights. Please stop trying to tear them down. You're not woke. You're asleep.
- jaccarmac 6y agoWhich human rights does my position violate? Please, enlighten me. YOU do realize that human rights don't include a blanket prohibition on people treating you differently due to your political opinions? Also, how do you reconcile these "universal" human rights in a state that violates them?
- waheoo 6y agoThey apply to everyone, regardless of political stance. Articles 12, 20, 21, 23, 29. You do realise that while not a blanket prohibition on treating you differently, employment, wellbeing and political leanings are expressly covered for obvious reasons.
- jaccarmac 6y agoBut I never suggested that Trump supporters should have their employment or wellbeing threatened for their support of Trump... I am merely making the point that support for Trump could reasonably be part of making one's colleagues feel unsafe. Additionally, the fact that political opinion is protected does not mean that a person's politics can be ignored.
