Openly reject leaders that incite violence against others, or we lose everything we once thought we stood for. |
If Trump did as you say, why isn't this happening in "Trump country"? Again... an oversimplification of what's happening and why. Where do you see the most reporting on attacks on Asians kach? Sorry to make you think... so I'll answer for you. It's happening in areas that have been hit the hardest by the virus. It's areas where lockdowns and mandates have become the normal. People in general are pissed off. This has less to do with Trump than it does what has happened since the virus arrived here. "Normal" for people was blown up almost overnight. Do you think there wasn't going to be some sort of overreaction by folks or some sort of lashing out? Do you really think these folks wouldn't have associated China and the virus had Trump not called it the China virus? Did they all pay attention to Trump and not listen to any of the reporting about where the virus originated? Lazy... lazy thinking on the part of people who want to blame Trump for this.
I agree with you on openly rejecting leaders that incite violence. It's just that your words are hollow. You accepted Obama when he referred to me as the enemy and suggested his supporters punish their enemies. But that was okay... right? We had to look at "context". Who the f'k are you kidding kach. You accept the hate you agree with. Remove the plank from your own eye...
