"We need to fight like hell against our political opponents" Depending on if you have a D or R next to your name that statement is either a passionate rallying cry meant to drive people to stand up for a better world, or criminal.
That is America in 2021. And that fault isn't with liberals who push this narrative but with conservatives who allow it to be pushed.
Why are we apologizing so much?
Take Gina Carano, for example - fired for questioning the election and apparently pointing of the fact that with the Holocaust, to quote her: ‘The government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?’
Is she wrong? Hatred, divisiveness, is often used as a method of control. Yet when Democrats argue "confront", "shout down", Trump supporters, Officials who worked in the Trump administration, etc.. it is being praised as "standing for what you believe in". I don't personally agree, it sounds like cancel culture mob mentality to me BUT if that is what it is, then it must flow both ways. Conservatives need to stop apologizing for criticizing Colin Kapernick; if his values are not values I agree with why am I wrong for saying so. That doesn't make me racist, doesn't make me anything same as a liberal not agreeing with Carano doesn't make them sexist, simply because she's a woman.
If we are to have honest, upfront, real conversations its time for conservatives to be as comfortable in our views as liberals are in theirs. Maybe we are right, maybe they are but to have this debate conservatives MUST stop bending the knee at every turn. Cancel culture isn't a real thing, we are just choosing to run away anytime our views are confronted and that needs to stop.
