exact same level of intellectual dishonesty.
my family member occasionally criticizes "the left" for distorting facts and pushing mistruths, and I'm like "Are you fucking crazy?" It's WAAAAY worse on the right, but there's no question that it does happen on both sides. And we're seeing it here now. It would be ridiculous to accuse the far-right as being idiots who lie and distort with this firehose of bullshit, then do the same thing on the left. We have the facts on our side, we don't have to do that. Now I will get WeHave a hat that says "BE BETTER".

I'm sure there was a protest about the statue that day. Then the Tiki idiots marched that night. I think it's probably fair to say many people at the first rally were not at the second.

I mean if we're gonna make liberalism a prerequisite for a hockey player to be honored in any way then maybe we should just stop honoring them at all. Which I'm fine with too.

Amazing that ppl still think all this is normal left vs right stuff

equally amazing that ppl think that smiling at Donald Trump or voting for the 1 political party (out of only 2 options) that you've voted for your whole life automatically makes you an official card-carrying member of the Nazi party.

I just think those ppl are brainwashed and I actually feel sorry for them.
Of course that isn't the type anyone is talking about.

Nobody here thinks that. Some of us simply acknowledge there are lots of actual voters who think that and vote accordingly

Literally at any time he could have said “of course I don’t think Canada should be made the 51st state by force”. At any time.
He’s a Mar a Lago regular and isn’t saying an anything for a reason.

I wasn't specifically referring to Gretzky there, just that we were told there are well over 77 million Nazis in America right now, so the bar for entry probably isn't very high, is it? I know that is WeHave rhetoric, but I don't see too many people contradicting it either.
Anyway, I don't think we're all that far apart here. Gretzky is probably a dummy, likely a shithead, certainly a fucking coward for remaining silent, maybe he selfishly enjoys having access to the President but that doesn't make him a Nazi.

Do you specifically mean a 1930's-40's era German National Socialist or the broader colloquial use of the word "nazi" which is often a stand in for a fascist authoritarian of various stripes?
Sure, he's not specifically a 1930's era german national socialist. But the latter? 100% is.

But that first day isn't what Trump was talking about. He is talking about and addressing the second day when the violence started.
There were two sides that day: Nazis and Anti-fascists. You tell me if there was "fine" people on both sides.

Okay, serious question. At which step along the path to single party authoritarianism is it okay for us to expect the average voter to get off the bus or be one of them?
