(4,167 posts)There's no substantive difference between thinking the most corrupt president in the history of this country should be in jail versus someone fully in favor of overthrowing democracy. Your thought experiment paints this as if it's only a "difference of opinion" and honestly, I'm pretty tired of treating Trumpism as a valid perspective on which we should all just agree to disagree.
But then, I live in a deeply red state, and there's no point in complaining to management around here because management would more likely give them a raise than fire them. Like the Walgreen's employee who parked his jeep with the Proud Boys sticker in front of the main entrance so everyone could see it walking in and out of the store. Yes, we complained and that was a useless gesture (as we figured it would be). We would not have complained about a BLM sticker, but you don't see many of those around here.
More germane to your point, I don't complain about anti-abortion stickers or Republican party stickers, because much as I loathe those positions, they ARE differences of opinion and not outright calls to insurrectionism.
