Trump has married the Evangelicals to get their votes. It's not like he was a closet Evangelical. What do you call it?
Opportunity.
I'd say he had no idea whatsoever that he'd be the chosen one of the evangelicals. He's joining a field of Republicans and avlowed, demonstrable christians - I'd say he never counted them as voting for him at any time - a partying, philandering, porn movie-making Antichrist.
More power to him for playing it, though.
Milo and his ilk set out to get the attention of the media. No one would pay attention to any of them for their right wing opinions so they try to trigger reactions to them with things like calling people fat pigs.
Milo Yiannopoulos
The point you're missing is that not too many people get to speak at universities, and Milo Yiannopoulos is someone who would never have gained an invite, because the spots were reserved for achievers. As you note, Milo is a complete and utter fabrication of the right; he failed to get a degree twice; his "career" if you could dignify it with that word, is writing racist garbage for the online equivalent of the Inquirer.
Even then, if you're dumb enough to want him to speak -let him go, but have a discussion with a moderator and opposing view.
Huh? Your measure is it could be worse than Trump?
Remember, we're talkijng about Biden v Trump here. I've stated many times that others - particularly Warren - are far better candidates and I'd have no problem supporting her.
In the case of Trump v Biden, it's not something that would put me off Trump.
And yes, could - and would - be a lot worse under Pence is both true and viable.
You're right, it doesn't matter what you post. But don't expect the contradictions to be ignored.
If you've actually read my posts, you'd be aware there are no contradictions and I'm quite happy with it all. You're just guilty of not thinking it all the way through.
Do these speakers expose private behaviors of students that will get them targeted?
Has it broken a law?
If so, deal with it.
If not, deal with it.
How many supporters of these speakers have brought and fired weapons at these events?
See above.
Labeling people "snowflake" for having entirely valid physical life safety concerns.
Yeah, heck, I wouldn't want anyone to get triggered.
Also, see above.
No, you're not embracing a "strong crush weak!" mentality at all. Noooo sir.
Complete miss, but nice try.
No, this is pretty standard among Universities. "You're a fag/spic/cracker/<n-word>" is not a valid academic topic.
Then why would you invite him?
Oh great. Then you'll have no problem with an extended discussion about how you should be shot in the face, and how I intend to do so at the first available opportunity.
bolding mine
You might like to learn the difference between a discussion and a threat.
Hint: one is illegal and can get people sent to jail.
Isn't that why we have laws?
Or did you pay no attention at all to the description of Milo's "speeches" that I provided?
No need - I have several articles on Milo about the internet and none of them are at all favourable. He's an upper-class Tommy Robinson.
I'd debate him any day of the week.
Also, this is on no relevance to what Milo was doing, as Milo is in no way an academic, or anything other than a child rapist enabling buffoon who enjoys threatening others.
Bingo!
So don't compare him to an actual academic like Dawkins, you only show that you don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about again.
Ok, Swap Dawkins for Muhammad Ali, who was the most-hated man in America at the time he spoke to several universities and was actually out on bail, as opposed to Yiannopoulos, who hasn't been charged with any crimes I'm aware of.
I used Dawkins because I'm not a member of his fan club, and typing anything about Ali when discussing a piece of puke like Milo makes me feel a bit dirty.
I know exactly what I'm talking about.
Bill Weld is a republican who would be vastly superior on LGBT rights.
And what's his public rating like? Is he standing against trump in 2020?
I agree that a true homophobe (such as Pence) would be much, much worse than Trump for LGBT. Is it your intention to claim (once again, according to your "logic") that as long as it could be worse....then there's simply nothing worth complaining about???
Because that's what you just did claim.
And another one who actually has no idea what he's arguing about.
Remember, this is about a choice between Trump & Biden.
One hired Pence as his Veep.
The other praises Pence as a good guy.
I wouldn't see it as a big enough reason to vote Biden.
