When should you apply Godwin's Law?

- Mike Godwin talking about the right-wing protestors at Charlottesville.

Trump supporters can talk about other issues too. I will most probably disagree with you but we can have a conversation. First I need to ask you (temporarily ignoring all other issues) whether or not you support white supremacists; tyes or no? A simple answer is required and it's not asking for a lot.

You already know the answer, which is no, I do not and will never support them.

No.

Have you thought that maybe asking them to answer yes or no only could be used against them unfairly so this is why they don't want to answer you?

I don't like your question for this reason but I answered it above. I support the rights of white supremacists but I don't support the idea of white supremacy.

@Jackaloftheazuresand Both sides have a right to express their views in public, to a point. Neither group has an absolutely right to free speech such as when that speech incites violence. Both groups have a right to protest, and neither group has a right to violence against another group or individual.

There must be at least some stigma left surrounding being a white supremacist, or supporting them, based on the lack of people here willing to admit that they are. But where once racists and white supremacists were masked, Trump has given them cover to show their faces and come out in the open with their hatred, and more are doing so every day.

@Jackaloftheazuresand Many people disagree but I think NAZIs should be allowed to express their ideas, just as people are perfectly allowed to attack those ideas. The NAZIs hide behind a freedom of speech argument which they would no allow for others if we could. However, my view is that you should let them speak and then attack what they say.

I am civil with anyone who is civil with me. I will disagree strongly with Trump supporters on any issues which is my right as well as their right.

What I don't think is acceptable is for Trump to avoid condemning NAZIs or the people on SW who have posted George Sorsos conspiracies about Charlottesville to get out of condemning white supremacism.

I think Trump supporters should come out and say that racism and fascism are not part of the Trump brand and to disassociate themselves from Unite the Right. A few like yourself have done this but many have not.

That's the bottom line. Supporters get so angry when Trump's compared to other white supremacists. Why, if they don't actually have a problem with them ?

No I do not agree

@Burnley123 It's likely cos they take offence to it, mate.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@FearfulHarmony49 I was pretty polite though and if someone asks me a straight question I will always answer it.

FearfulHarmony49 · 22-25, T

@Burnley123 Still, it's seen as disrespectful.

Simple question, simple answer, NO.

@LvChris Yeah I am trying to get people to be clear/open about their beliefs because so so many have obfuscated. They are either hiding what they really think or just not thought it through.
