    It would be malpractice to trust that any vetted speech would be the only thing said up there.

  21. I don't think many/most of the normal, regular people who will vote for Trump think of it that way. And yes, Brisket, I do think those people exist. If we are being honest, you can find "conservative" ideas within the current Republican platform, that if you were a decades old Republican, that isn't a racist, that you could hold your nose, and be fine with voting for Trump. I think you would have to willfully ignore many other issues of moral injury, and perhaps you look around, and to you, Black people are better off today than they were 30 years ago, (which is objectively true in some domains), and you think to yourself, the cries of racism are hysterical and are not credulous. You could also argue, these are people who choosing not to be single-issue voters. The catch, is how we all consider how important that single issue is to us on a personal level. You can see this in how I treat people who won't vote Democrat because of Israel/Gaza. While I concede that it's an important issue, I don't think it should torpedo everything else that comes with voting for Harris. If this comes off as a "both-sides" argument then I'm not doing a good job explaining myself, but part of me thinks that when my friend from Palestine gets into me about voting Democrat, there is a good case to be made that I've simply decided it won't be the defining issue of my vote, and I have to think, that for some of my friends I described above, this thing about racism and rights, probably tracks the same way.
  22. Fair enough. A better example could have been used.
