Your post supports with facts - ie. your own experience - the idea that moderate members of a group don't get oppressed, which is missing the point, in my opinion.
I think the point of the parent of your post and the article is that regardless of what you believe, you should have the right to your opinion and should not be persecuted for it.
- Zigurd 5y agoYour "persecution" is a cheap shadow of actual persecution, which was meted out to whole sexes and races under the flag of inherent superiority. That's not what the modern right is feeling. They are feeling the consequences of expressing overt racism and sexism. It is their right to do so. Nobody has taken away that right. It is everyone's right to reject racism and sexism and the people espousing it.

- Zigurd 5y agoWhether a one-state outcome in Israel entails apartheid or whether the terrorists among Palestinian leadership positions is fundamentally different than Sinn Fein are wonky policy nerd topics. That's not what the modern right is about. It is about denying the bodily autonomy of women, for example. And they wonder why women won't touch them.
- Msw242 5y agoThank you for informing me on what my argument is. Don't get heat stroke fighting all of those strawmen.
- someguydave 5y agoI agree, Republicans are suffering for expressing anti-racism and anti-sexism.
