Lol. How brave /s
Show your true colors y’all! Finally, you can stop pretending you truly care about struggling Americans that don’t share the same values as you - coincidentally, exactly like your slightly more racist/white-supremacist neighbors
Hopefully we can at least admit rural folks are absolutely correct in feeling like we hate them. I mean, that still won’t win us any elections but it’s a step in the right direction - one towards a more honest party
By values, you mean supporting a violent and openly fascist political party whose main goal is to hunt migrants to deport?
Lol, is that the same logic you apply to the civil war? The North just hated the South for their rural ways?
I wouldn’t agree with what the person you are responding to says, because I don’t think anyone deserves not be ripped from their homes. But I can understand why people would wish unpleasant times to people who voted to do exactly that.
Falsely equivocating all of that down to, “hating rural folks” for their country ways is inaccurate, ahistorical, and highly reductive.
No? What did I say that made you think I’m a trump supporter? I’m criticizing folks for celebrating harm coming to their fellow Americans.
No? I’m honestly not sure I understand your question about the civil war. The parallel throws me off because the point I’m making is Dems are maybe not “just as racist” as Rs but the fact they’re proving latinos were seen as pawns to be used when the Dems platform was basically everything Rs wanted while Trump was in office (minus family separations. let me know if you think I’m totally off). There’s certainly parallels to the civil war, the Northerners absolutely did not like it when free black American citizens first started to move there when fleeing terrorism I’m the South. That’s how we got red-lining and the modern for-profit prison system.
I am absolutely not doing what you’re saying. Let me know how I came off that way. I’m trying to be as specific as possible here. People that are celebrating bad things happening to their fellow Americans. Stop. That’s it. That is gross, to me. I think it’s bad philosophy and atrocious politics. We’re not in a civil war, we’re discussing how our fellow citizens
votednot how they shot at our kids. Wait, it’s not even that. We’re simply discussing Americans that didn’t know anything.Here’s my silly accusatory question: Our people didn’t vote. Because of that we celebrate latinos being deported?
Wish this could be a light conversation. This is truly not that serious. It’s a chat on fuckin lemmy (imagine this place is huge one day. lol)
Mostly it’s the regurgitation of radical propaganda…
The civil war parallel was made because you are parroting propaganda that’s been endemic in the South for the last 150 years. That the war wasn’t about slavery, that the North just hated rural people’s culture.
Ahh yes, because a minority of of internet strangers have some bad takes, the two parties are basically the same…except for the little caveat of family separation and interment camps thing, and even though Trump’s main campaign promise was to immediately deport everyone he can…
And how is that a parallel to modern times? Pretty sure there were sanctuary cities all over during Trump’s first presidency.
You’re talking about two separate times in history separated by a hundred years of lived history. After the civil war, before conservatives torpedos reconstruction, black Americans actually gained a lot of economic and political power. Redlining and the modern prison system were a reactionary response by conservatives to desegregation.
You just so happen to be parroting several different pieces of propaganda used to falsely equivocate the both sides argument popular among accelerationists and radical conservatives…Interesting.
Who is our people?
I wish we could just have a light conversation about the fascist said the German to the Jews…
It’s almost like even tangentially supporting fascism isnt a light hearted conversation?
