d0rkyd00d: “I know my worldview is different from both Trump supporters & opponents in most cases.
I feel that most Americans are actually “on the same team,” even though each side views the other as the opposition. I also think it would also require the coordinated effort of these two opposing sides, facing a common enemy, to address and actually resolve the issues in government plaguing America today.
Where do we start?”
P: Well, in your first thread you came off the bat insulting.
Not doing that might be a good place.
K: and right off the bat, you went and attacked Dork…
the first problem to overcome is the very language differences used
by the left and the right…
the right, in pedro, UR, obser, and Karpel have all used radical language
to attack the left… they have called for martial law, prison, dictatorship
and in some cases, death to those on the left…whereas we on the left, the so called
“communist” which in fact, neither IAM or I, is a communist… but those sort of
distinctions are ignored by these posters…
Have either IAM or myself called for prison or martial law or death for
anyone on the right? no, of course not… the very language we use is different…
(now one might argued I have called IQ45 and family to go to prison, and I did,
but they have clearly and indisputable have committed crimes as oppose to going
to prison or dying just for being a conservative or for holding conservative viewpoints)
my very language has been decidedly much softer then the right wing posters…
do we make fun of these posters? hell yah, and I see no problem with that…
but making fun isn’t calling for someone’s death because they are liberal…
what we ask for and especially IAM, is for dialogue… he is constantly
encouraging the right to engage in dialogue…but the right rejects that
call because it isn’t done on their terms…
Ok, let us try this… those posters I have mentioned… where is some middle ground
we can meet and discuss matters… I shall allow you to engage in the discussion
on your terms… so, do you wish to engage in dialogue that might, might bring
us together?
