Morality is mostly subjective. But there are basic universal human morality of decency, integrity and compassion. And these are the more important depending on the person's role in society. By this definition and these measure, Trump falls very short and is unfit to be leader of the free world, compared to others of high moral standing. In fact he has proved this week to be very dangerous to the U.S. and the world. I'm sorry.
Too bad right? well here is your chance to one up the darn liberals and take your ideals elsewhere if you don't like losing the election and trying to overthrow democracy in a way a 2 year old throws a tantrum
NickyG I appreciate your zeal. But I think you really are hyper and overblown. All your language is inflammatory.
They are protected except in the case of specific calls to violence. Why do people keep saying they are not protected?
I saw all those white Antifa and BLM members burning black owned businesses to the ground and looting stores and terrorizing the citizens in black neighborhoods while claiming America is "systemically racist".
Nazism is a system of beliefs. Adherents of Nazism has no objection to be labeled as such. Those who are not adherents rightly object to the label. But those who act in accordance with the principles of Nazism but might not understand they are acting as such, could rightly object to the label, but it seems logical that they should bear some of the responsibility for attracting the label to themselves.

I get your point. But I think there's also plenty of people who are otherwise more directly affected by various political decisions which drive them feel that they have much more at stake. If you were LGBT (to use an example from a different post) living in a rural town just a decade ago, it's not unlikely to think that your neighbors don't exactly have closely aligned political ideologies. Even now they have to deal with the anxiety of wondering whether Obergefell will be overturned, regardless of whether it's truly unlikely. To some, that their "existential crisis".
Wait until your mind is blown when you read about Stalin (Hint: he was not a Nazi, still killed as many people).
That is a completely specious argument. You use Twitter, Isis uses Twitter, therefore you must be a terrorist, right?
That's the thing though. There is no fraud
It is a freedom of speech issue, or are you confused that this is not a first amendment issue?
You care about cities but not about the Capitol? Funny, until now it’s been the opposite from conservatives.
Freedom of speech ends when it results in harm to others. It’s the “yelling fire in a crowded theater” scenario. I fully respect the rights of conservative to share their views. In fact, our government is at its best when we have a strong two-party system. But the current Republican party is bankrupt on all fronts—morally, ethically, and socially. Conservative views are smaller government, lower taxes for higher income earners, restricted bodily autonomy for women, and so forth. But trying to steal an election to stay in power, inciting idiots to do his bidding by going to a federal building and committing a terrorist act in order to delay and suppress a fair and democratic process—all because his fragile ego can’t handle losing—none of this is acceptable, and it doesn’t count as free speech. It’s a crime. And no technology company should be expected to provide a forum for people to plan to commit crimes.
Yeah you know -- there's just no getting around a mob LED by organized neo nazis attacking our nation's capital and attempting to overthrow representative democracy, which was directly and blatantly egged-on by the literal head of the Republican party. And that is exactly how history will remember the dark events of Jan 6, 2021, when for a brief time, our Capital literally fell, elected officials of both parties lying on the floor huddled in a panic, frightened for their lives, whisked off to safe rooms. The GOP is a racist party with racist beliefs that has done BLATANTLY racist things at the behest of DJT over the past 4 years of his administration. No more Muslims can enter the country? The people on both sides of the white power neo nazi rally in charlottesville were very good people? Obama is not the legitimate President, he wasn't born in this country? Keep the bag over your head. If you are old, there's no knocking sense into you at this point methinks. We are going to move on and make this world a better place.
I get that it’s normal to them while not to me. What is normal anyway? That’s the hard part. You and I are straight males yet I’m sure we both have our own things that define normal. You are right they have been suppressed for so long but must suck to live that lifestyle. I can’t imagine being beaten up because of the sex I’m attracted to. I think where it rubs people wrong are things like pride parades etc. Is it really necessary to parade around dressed the way they dress and be so in your face about it. To me it’s tacky. I’d feel the same if it’s any other type or group of people too.
