When should you apply Godwin's Law?

@Jackaloftheazuresand Thank you for replying and being honest about your views. Thank you also for condemning white supremacy.

I am genuinely unsure of your point. I support their rights in the sense I support them as equal citizens. I think they get that anyway though they would not extend the privilege to others if they had power.

I am not trying to use things against people unfairly but to find their actual beliefs by which to judge by and debate with.

@Burnley123 You are welcome.

A better question for you to ask is do they support white supremacy instead of asking "supremacists," then we can truly question their avoidance of answering.

They do get their rights but when I see people say, "Punch the nazis" and they shouldn't be allowed to voice their views in public, that bothers me. Certainly such statements as this show that someone is thinking of taking those rights or pushing through some legislation and that was my point.

You know that, they don't, they can't. Yes, you have a reputation of being civil and respectable from what I've seen but they can never truly know that you wouldn't drag them through the mud.

@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.
