(64,830 posts)I'm not suggesting that we call people names. We have higher standards. So, why do we tolerate half the country supporting somebody with no standards?
In just the closing days of the campaign Trump called his opponent a whore and JD Vance called her trash. There was no outrage. It's normalized.
But Biden stumbled over his words while defending Puerto Rico and the media went crazy for days.
Your telling me I can't refer generally to Trump supporters as stupid, on an anonymous message board, sounds like a church pastor telling an abused wife not to speak up or her husband will hit her harder the next time.
Have you seen what they call us on social media? Gone to Twitter lately? The big thing today is "Your body, my rights." But we're not allowed to even call that stupid?
Excuse my language, but fuck that.
