    Sure, but do you think the right wing nutjobs who get angry about things like this care about evidence?

    They’re glad of another excuse to validate their anger against “them”, and even if later evidence comes out to suggest something never happened, their rage and hatred has by this point only grown deeper.

    We’re on a path to a return to bring openly run by these sorts of people, and eventually all that deep hatred of “them” will come pouring out once there’s the power to act against them on a national scale.

    Us decent people are, by our nature, not angry and hateful enough to do anything to stop this until it’s far too late. History repeats itself over and over :-(

        pronouns themselves aren’t a problem lol. he had a specific group in mind. “the conservatives who are complaining about this issue” the problem arises when the “them” is nebulous or used as a racist dig whistle. he is pointing out conversations using it as the latter here.

          I disagree. The problem is when you divide the whole into “us” and “them”.

        Rightwingers aren’t people and don’t deserve to be treated like people. That better for you?
