do the right wing guys think it’s like a draco malfoy thing where they’re a good guy underneath?

like when it’s like a lady and a cop and the lady seems like a normal sorta boring suburban lady

do you know what i mean. this is one of the things where if you try to ask an AI bot it yells at you

    It’s not the knitting projects at home or shooting cans in the woods people have an issue with, it’s the legislature you vote for, the way you treat people when you’re not at home, and the kinds of people you support (people in aggressive positions of authority)

        I’d like to think I’m a generally kind person.

        As a queer person, I don’t. You supporting a party that opposes my rights and is actively demonizing my existence. From grooming rhetoric to outright calls for the abolition for my way of life Listening to conservative politicians is frightening, scary and isolating. I’m sure you don’t think of yourself as a bigot, but every donation, vote or right wing politician you promote, you embolden those who ask seek to block my basic rights. And very often, those people succeed. Your priority for “your own self interest” at the expense of my existence does not make you a nice person.

        Kind people aren’t selfish. Your actions harm me and many others like me, but you only think of yourself.

        I’m in California. I have no power here.

        I think the point is moreso that the party you support typically is indifferent about minorities/LGBT/immigrants/poor people, etc.

        This seems antithetical to the morality we are taught as children (ie: the Golden Rule) which is why people question how you generally survive in that type of relationship when both people seem to have blinders on regarding empathy for others.

        If you vote for people who want gays to have less rights than other people, you’re not a generally kind person.

            You know for someone who acts like they care about “civil debate”, you certainly don’t engage in good-faith.

                I didn’t comment about who you voted for.
                I commented on the deflection.

                  It’s not a deflection it’s a reflection. A purposefully and deliberately mis characterizes B’s position, so B does it back to A.

                    It’s still avoiding the point. Furthermore, there is no mischaracterisation in saying that conservative politicians are opposed to LGBT-rights.

                There ya go, another ad hominem attack. Can’t actually debate, just engaging in rhetoric. Now we see your true colors. You really seem generally nice from this comment /s

            Lol what a lazy response. Just straight to trolling and whataboutism, no nuance in your thought.

            You might want to reevaluate how you think about yourself as a “generally nice” person. This isn’t how nice people talk to others.

            You said above:

            That wasn’t very nice. I’d like to think I’m a generally kind person.

            Now you’re calling someone a bigot when they said nothing bigoted. I guess when you said you were kind, it was a lie.
