Neville ChaimBerlin,
How? By standing by a frontrunner’s national security plan?
No. It was your excuse, when prevented with evidence refuting your claim of the “majority”, that American voters are easily swayed.
To paraphrase our argument:
Neville: The silent majority of Americans agrees with this!
Avram: Actually, recent polling data show otherwise.
Neville: Then they’re just brainwashed.
Really? Do you know what the majority of Americans think better than they do themselves?
It has been shown many times on this thread that Trump’s plan is by no means radical when put into historical perspective.
And as I already responded above, your historical context argument would also apply to slavery, Jim Crow laws, and forced sterilizations.
To put it simply: just because it has historical precedent does not mean it is reasonable or right.
You’re perfectly allowed to disagree with his ideas; Trump’s supporters aren’t the ones doing the censoring here.
Now this is interesting. Who is censoring Trump? Has he been arrested for his speeches? Does he have to wear an ankle monitor because of what he has said? Has the government ordered newspapers to stop any coverage of him?
No. The only thing that has happened is that people who disagree with him have exercised their own First Amendment rights, and you seem to have a problem with that.
