You are literally lumped in with them
I honestly have no idea how to respond to this. Did you read my comment and its context? Because I can't figure out what point you're even trying to make, so it really feels like you didn't.
You're giving off I'm not like other Americans vibes, I don't respect it lol
Well, considering I never voted for Trump, am against bigotry in all its forms, don't want to deport people for having the wrong skin color, believe that free healthcare is a human right, hate capitalism, etc... I don't think it's unfair to say that I very much am not like the fascists currently in power or the people who voted for them at all.
How is it fair to criticize me as though I'm the same as them when I'm fighting against them? Does my being born here somehow make me deserving of scorn?
You're being scorned right now? Because some guy said he doesn't trust Americans to form a competent government and I said you're an American? Get real man, this is the exact American exceptionalism everyone is sick of.
Not what he said.
Not what you said.
You don't seem to have an interest in understanding the impact of your own words, either before posting them or afterwards. No point in talking, then.
