ID: A scene from Legally Blonde of a conversation between Warner and Elle in the corridor at Harvard, in 4 panels:
-
Warner asks “What happened to the tolerant left?”
-
Elle replies, smiling “Who said we were tolerant?”
-
Warner continues “I thought you were supposed to be tolerant of all beliefs!”
-
Elle looks confused “Why would we tolerate bigotry, inequity, or oppression?”
I think one problem is that Dems have been screaming that every republican candidate in my lifetime will end democracy.
Many republicans have become immune to introspection because of this.
If we label everyone who disgrees with us a fascist it doesn’t serve any purpose, and most likely hinders the progress we’re trying to make.
Every Republican candidate in your lifetime (and tbf many Democrats) did end democracy. It wasn’t any single particular instant, but at this point we’ve been living under oligarchy for over a decade.
You’re right in general, but those screaming Dems were right too.
Lol
