Oh sorry, how many planned parenthood’s have been bombed in the past decade? How’s that for “integrity.” When republicans don’t like something, they resort to actual terrorism. What regime does that remind you of? One that suppresses women’s voice. Stones them for infidelity. Ring any bells?
The courts have deemed a women’s life less important than their unborn child. What’s next?
I’m not defending Republican policies, and I’m not denying that there are real issues worth being angry about. What I’m calling out is the way you’re choosing to express that anger - by making exaggerated, tribalistic jabs that shut down conversation and treat an entire group as cartoon villains.
There’s only one side that’s tribalistic and that’s the right. If you break down politics enough, there’s only two ways really - for the vulnerable or for those in power. Each side has a multitude of different approaches, but people who chose the path to the right are ultimately all fighting against the weak, the powerless, the discriminated. If you don’t call that out, you’re complicit.
You can argue that one side is worse than the other all day long - but that’s not what I was talking about. I’m pointing out that reducing an entire group to caricatures and using that to justify dishonest or hostile behavior isn’t helpful. It shuts down conversation and feeds the same tribal mindset you claim to oppose.
