I'd expect that there wouldn't be that many people who thought highly of tRump in Canada. He has had more bankruptcies than any "billionaire" should. Glad to see him fail again.

Is it "mean" of us to ridicule the entire Trump Crime Family?

Theresa_N comments on Aug 28, 2020:

I think he is a child and should only criticized for what he has done. I know very little about him apart from his family. He has my sympathy for growing up in such a dysfunctional family, so I presume you crossed a line that shouldn't be crossed. The rest of the tRump family have all participated in their father's/inlaw's wrongdoing so they are fair game.

Theresa_N comments on Aug 28, 2020:

I don't think I've ever preached anything apart from non-violence in my activist days. I certainly never preached atheism. Preaching is a particular type of speech, not just any old speech but a specific type trying to win over converts. Even when writing to agnostics on this forum, I limit myself to asking if they are atheists as far as the easter bunny and the tooth fairy. That's a straight forward question, not preaching. So I think this song has it wrong.

Prejudice vs.

Theresa_N comments on Aug 28, 2020:

People without power cannot be racist regarding those with the power. You are a white therefore your arguments are racist because you defend racists. Aboriginals, because they don't have the institutional power you do are prejudiced according to you. Now your thin skinned white ego might not accept this, it is a fact.

White supremacy is the true religion of the United States.

Theresa_N comments on Aug 28, 2020:

I think white evangelical christianity has a lot of white supremacy in it's ranks and leadership. But no, that's not all it's about. I think this is a generalization. It's like saying it's all about repression of LGBT+ people, that's just part of it. It's about the dominance of evangelical xtians.
