When conservative christians do it, it’s fighting wokeness. When conservative Muslims do it, it’s terrorism.
When conservative Christians do it, it's terrorism. Stop trying to explain their insane blathering to others and start condemning their actions.
(I am sorry to single you out, but this genre of comment where the left parrots the right wing talking points in an effort to hurt the right I consider harmful and I'm doing my little bit by trying to change the conversation a little.)
He's pointing out hypocrisy, not defending Christian terrorism.
I understand. I just wish OC's wasn't giving their talking points, their worldview the light of day. I prefer a direct condemnation:
"This is terrorism. Americans, many of them Christian extremists, are using violence instead of reason."
As I said, I don't mean to single out the OC. I am guilty of this as well. I think saying stuff like "they will say it's because..." is something I read far too often. Why do they even need to say their talking points when I see them outlined in hypotheticals over and over and over? I kinda am starting to think that is part of their "grind down resistance" strategy.
Don't speak for them, speak against what they are doing.
Everyone has attempted your strategy. It doesn’t work anymore. Time for a new strategy
