Ok my respect is quickly dropping for these buffoons caught in the crossfire. But it’s like interviewing an attendee from a nazi rally, what should I expect? Critical thinking? Morals? Hah!
“devout Republican” haha… They’re a religious cult.
It’s a little more complicated for me considering my family once was Republican during Bush’s first term. Rural, Appalachian, Pennsylvanian. I know some of these people most likely. Dumb people who know no better. Manipulated by rich interests. Feeling many pressures no doubt but too uninformed to point the finger at the right problem.
They Thought Were Free is a great book that explores this ignorance endemic in the Third Reich.
Ok, I get that you have a strong desire to humanize them. But humanizing someone doesn’t mean you automatically respect them, other than affording them the basic level you’d give any other semi-sentient being. What is there to respect in people who cheer on an addlepated, narcissistic, fascist manbaby?
Yeah I’ll admit respect probably wasn’t the best choice for words, but as a father I respected his shielding his family from bullets, which is probably what led to use of that word.

Why would you have any respect for Trump supporters going to a Trump rally? Just because they were unlucky? They’re still shitty people.

Right…because you’re so great at critical thinking
I’m not a Trump supporter, so yes, definitely a step above.
Granted the bar is on the floor but still.
What about their comment lacked critical thinking?
The baseless accusation of a lack of critical thinking clearly shows a lack of critical thinking.
