so you're just oblivious to the last 8 years of US politics. okay.
I've been around the past 8 years. I'm just not trying to bury my head like an ostrich because I cant control what I read.
I get the argument that we shouldnt be revering these people by continually discussing them. But my beliefs are more along the lines that history should be discussed and the action of these people should be discussed so it stays in the forefront and people know.
history proves that acknowledging this kind of threat legitimizes its power.
Only if you cherry pick your history examples.
Yeah, legitimizing a minority resistance by giving it attention is an anomaly.
Acknowledging something happened and discussing it is not the same as legitimizing something.
you've learned nothing over the last 8 years.
Actions like yours are what allowed the last 8 years to happen.
Explain how trump got elected.
This argument can be summarized as such:
You: We should ignore these people. Talking about them gives them power. Ignoring them makes them go away.
Me: Ignoring them allows them to do bad shit. Talking about the bad things they do allows everyone to understand they are bad people and should not be allowed power.
Rinse and repeat. You're obviously not going to convince me that burying my head in sand will make trump magically not a huge political threat and I'm not going to convince you that the best way to prevent people like trump is to make sure we loudly proclaim all the bad shit they do.
So if you just have to have the final word feel free to respond but as I've stated a few times. I think your political philosophy is not only idiotic but is what caused us to be in the situation we are in today. But I'm not going to respond to you about this topic any more.
