It's not a false dichotomy. If you're going to try and gotcha me with a logical fallacy, maybe you should actually know how it works? We call that form of distraction away from the perfectly reasonable argument a red herring. Perhaps you should look it up.

The fact is that they either are ambivalent about his openly racist and misogynistic positions and behavior, making them amoral, or they are very comfortable with it and don't see anything particularly troubling with it, making them immoral. Or they're just ####ing racist and misogynistic, you know, a deplorable human being.

There's no way that anyone could not be keenly aware of who and what Trump is at this point, and to suggest otherwise is pure intellectual dishonesty.

And yes, my neighbors down the street are big Trump supporters. They fall into category "A" of being ambivalent to his racism. I've traveled this state and met some pure evil ####heads who are all in on the white supremacy. They would fall into the latter category of deplorable. They are all fully aware of who he is.

Trump wins one demographic...white people with no post secondary education
sometimes we can indeed call a spade a spade. Even if he got 13% of the black vote and not 11% this time
Not all dumb racists but come on now, quite a few

Scott Galloway, who I find quite insightful about a lot of topics, has a pretty scathing article over the election. I feel like this is pretty spot on. The article centers on the impact and influence of podcasts on the key demographics. It's fairly long but well worth the read.

An excerpt:
Spoiler!


The democrats don't seem to understand what matters. They seem out of touch. Very good lessons for our parties in Canada to learn too.

My bad confirmation bias !

It sounds like you are describing a group that acknowledges and respects the significant progress made in areas like racial and gender equality over the past several decades and maintains a more traditional or rigorous standard for what constitutes being labeled a “racist” or “misogynist.” This perspective suggests a focus on maintaining clarity and severity in applying such terms, rather than broadening or lowering the threshold for their use.

This approach might be rooted in the belief that labeling should be reserved for truly egregious acts or ideologies and that diluting these terms risks undermining their gravity and importance in identifying genuine discrimination or hatred.

Keep on normalizing! Enjoy your evening.

Did you ask AI to write that for you? Such a dull and boilerplate conservative response with no real novel thinking on the subject. It certainly didn't dispel anything that I said, nor does it counter the direct evidence I provided from actual interactions with human beings where we've discussed these things and they've indicated how they feel.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them."

I choose to believe someone when they tell me things directly, rather than assume their beliefs based on right wing talking points.

Trumpers are all chests puffed out now...but really all that happened is dumb people elected him. He is still the same orange clown we said he was. Now he has to do the job and it will go exactly how we said it would with blunder after blunder.

I mean we are still waiting for Mexico to pay for that wall right? Like actual adults think you can build a 30 foot wall across an entire boarder...problem solved.

And deporting 20M people? easy peasy...it just costs 10-15K each but maybe Elon will pick up the tab? Oh wait, he is trying to die with the most money possible for scoreboard reasons.

Can two things not be accurate. The number of women who have accused him of despicable actions is a much more compelling argument than him appointing a woman into a key position. I think that it is appropriate to judge someone by their comments and their actions more than the fact that they will have a woman appointed to a position in a government.

Well I am guessing you will come up with some trite comment about going to bed or something rather than actually responding to how he has made sexist comments for years.

He is a creep who makes disparaging comments about people of specific races, whose entire entrance into politics was based around one of very few black politicians and obviously the only black president not being an American but born in Africa. The guy is a sexist, a racist, a shyster, and a criminal... why is that someone who you would ever want to support?

Then he should say either he supports those things or that he is willing to overlook his personality traits and if so for what reason? There is no arguing who he is, just explaining why people think that can be overlooked. How much money does your soul cost?
