What? No, I’m saying that for me, it was strange living in a city rife with Klansmen and people with KKK members in their family, and that it was so prevalent that it was just a known quantity. I absolutely do not do the same thing on any level because I do not know any Klansmen or normalize their behavior.

And I’m saying that for me that’s not strange at all.
What about casual racists, misogynists, trump voters, etc.? If not, then you truly live in a rarefied social stratum. I make no distinction between someone who dresses up in a bedsheet and duncecap and someone who drops the n bomb the moment “those people” are out of earshot. They’re all part of the same problem. Yet even in this big northeastern city in which I live, I constantly have to put up with people defending their racist friends

That’s cool for you I suppose! Please stop insulting me by saying it’s odd that I feel uncomfortable living in Klan-ridden cities and don’t associate with racists or Trump voters. I don’t defend those people. Thank you!
That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying there’s no difference between listening to someone in Cincinnati defending their friend in the KKK and listening to someone in Boston defending their deeply antisemitic friend from business school. I thought it would be better up here, or at least different, but it isn’t. These people are everywhere.

Considering it often feels, from our perspective, that the leftwing can’t ever agree on how to do anything, while republicans are in military like lockstep, it’s nice to see when republicans say that it looks the opposite from their point of view. I heard a similar sentiment when randomly tuning into a conservative talk radio show a couple months ago. Maybe democrats are divided on a lot of points but we all at least agree trump is the absolute worst and maybe that’s all he cares about. A quote from tonight’s trump rally:

NOBODY HAS LEGITIMATELY EARNED A MILLION DOLLARS (say, per year), without some form of systemic and/or personal inequality or exploitation.
“Legit” businesspeople —> systemic
Crooks —> personal

Yup, I can see how Antifa is the real enemy.
Is it wrong that my first thought when I saw that the House has started impeachment investigations was, “They’re going to totally screw this up”?

They’re pushing the “Antifa = domestic terrorist” line, even into Canada.

Meanwhile Trump promotes an organization that is responsible for actual acts of terror.
