Kanye West defends his support for Trump: 'Liberals can't bully me'

Did you even read my post?  Or did you simply shut down at the first 4 words and assume what the rest of my post would say?  Where exactly did I "paint the other side as crazy 99% of the time"?  When did I say it was wrong to be of either mindset?  Did I not specifically state that I deliberately have opposing mindsets within my social circle because I value them?

 

If we can't use the words "liberal mindset" or "conservative mindset" (notice I specifically did not use the commonly associated political parties), then what common language terms should we use to describe the way a group of people think politically?

 

Part of the problem we've all be discussing is the shift further towards the extreme left (or commonly accepted "side defined as Liberal").  If it were merely the usual smatterings of "extremism" here and there, we wouldn't even be bothered to discuss it.  It's the fact that the "extremism" is gaining momentum, it's not just the media or leaders spouting the typical eye roll worthy nonsense - it's a belief system that is taking hold among the population in a way that is truly beginning to threaten the  basic rights afforded by the US Constitution.  I'm seeing (as have others in the forum) a complete lack of tolerance for dissent from my friends who subscribe to what they would call "a liberal political mindset".  Yes, some are saying "wow, if the Democratic party continues to go into the extreme, I'm leaving it" and others have said "the Democrats have gone too far into the extreme as a party and I'm leaving it" but there are still a significant number who are spewing forth such rage and hate, happy about the violence, happy about the shredding of basic constitutional rights, AND refuse to allow any disagreement or discussion.

 

Are we not allowed to discuss it when it's not "a few extremists" but rather "a rapidly growing portion of our general population"?  I'm not sorry - I won't minimize the threat to the US Constitution that is growing.  

 

"and there was no one left when they came for me" will not be said of me.  I will speak.  I will actively engage.  I will uphold my oath.

Yup a few extremist.. amplified by the media. 

I believe the term is "vocal minority".

The worship of trump is so ridiculous that's its beyond liberal and conservative, because he is neither. 

Just an arrogant non-selfmade billionaire that wants to pad his ego and pockets. 

Why trump supporters can't or won't see it.

Who knows. 

It's so funny how angry they are at people for not seeing the world as they do. Their unbelievable hatred of liberals has made them immune to reason, and instead must point to outliers to support their cause. The crazy twisting of anti fascist groups in fascists is just another example of how devorsed from reality the main stream republican party has become.

So true. 

But remember the liberals are ruining this country. It is no longer great because of these liberals. 

Yet liberals and conservatives have put their minds together to create awesome things. 

Ironically giving the anti-liberals outlets via social media to blast their "enemy"... the liberals.

 

Good god lemon.

Again, nothing but rhetoric and personal views from you both.

 

Any links to show this hatred and intolerance? We see it clearly in many links here in CEHST from the left.  I'd like to share your views about where the right is doing it.

Are you saying Antifa is an outlier?  They along with other extreme leftist seem to be growing with a lot of encouragement from Democrat leadership.  Much of the platform they, these extreme left wing groups, support and preach (primarily socialism/communism, an end to freedom of speech, an end to due process, an end to self-protection, etc.) are being adopted by Democrat leaders, and leftist candidates.  Doesn't look like a simple outlier to me, maybe it is not the Right that is not seeing the world properly, it is always a good idea to take off the rose colored glasses occasionally.

 

Btw, when have anyone that is right of center expressed a hatred for anything?
