The brain gymnastics of Trump supporters arr absolutely amazing, one hand they could stop shouting freedom of speech everytime someone (a private entity) didn't allow them to spew racism on their platform, on the other hand deporting (the government) someone for their political views is fine because they are a security threat and deportation isn't really punishment (being banned on a social media platform on the other hand...).
At least be honest and say "I don't care because it's speech I disagree with"
- the_gastropod 2y agoI saw this comment on Bluesky yesterday, and it really resonated with me after watching a "totally moderate" conservative friend incrementally tolerate more and more obviously evil things: > A conservative will pretend to believe whatever they think is necessary to get to their only goal: hurting you. That is the sum total of how they function. Pretending they have morals, ethics, or beliefs actively plays into their hands. "Owning the libs" is pretty much the only thing needed to unite them.
