Jesus, man. The false equivalency is just so terrible.

The devil never asked for an advocate, and those nazi wannabes didn’t either. You don’t have to defend them, especially with language they’d laugh at.

    They're not defending anybody. They're just stating that punches below the belt aren't cool, even if you're hitting MAGAs.

    Let me be clear, I'm not being a devil's advocate here.

    I genuinely believe it's not okay to tell a widow she's grieving wrong.

    I also genuinely believe that telling women how they should be dressed is some sexist BS.

    I also genuinely don't think those pants were particularly egregious. And I thought her hug with Vance wasn't particularly scandalous. And I also genuinely believe if it wasn't someone you were already primed to hate, you'd feel the same way.

    And I don't think the solution to any of the problems were having in this country is more dehumanization. We get plenty of that with this current administration thanks. And just because they suck doesn't make it okay to abandon your principles.

    Gosh, you’re right. I was already primed to hate her. By her and her husband’s repeated statements that people I love should not exist.

    I genuinely believe that enforced decorum benefits the powerful. “I get to do whatever I want without consequence but you’re terrible for saying something mean to me” is a thing an oppressor says.

    I think their point is hate her, or poke fun at the actual reasons that she is a terrible human. Wearing leather pants to a funeral and awkwardly hugging Vance are not the reasons she should be shunned. It's her idealogy and actions that are.
