A person critical of the border and says 'Open Border' to point out the same issues we all agree to (Except Pfife) and that means they are dishonest and probably a racist.... but I went off the rails?
My guess is we are probably pretty close on immigration, but there are legitimate reasons for disagreement. Simply labeling disagreement as dishonest and racist isn't helping your cause.
I don't think Civil Rights leaders, democratic politicians, and all the 'peaceful' protesters with BLM were dishonest. They saw a legitimate problem and IMO, were a bit misguided at the scale and direction of it, so while I would like to see police reform (screw getting rid of qualified immunity, but lawsuits should be paid out of their retirement funds), I vehemently disagreed with those leaders that it was an endemic, an epidemic of cops killing black people, or that policing was started so it could kill blacks and continue enslavement.
My guess is most people don't believe in those comments either, especially here. My guess is that most of you were probably a bit more sympathetic to those leaders and even if you disagreed, you either participated in BLM protests or at minimum, supported them.
Harsh words and phrases sound a lot more harsh when you disagree with them and softer when you don't.
