Seriously, they are both former military, my dad was in for like 30 years, how do they like the drunk secretary? I get that he saw combat, but being in combat doesn’t automatically make you qualified for… well anything except therapy and medical care.
Wow. At the time of me posting this, the majority of people in this discussion might want to step back a little a do a little self introspection. There is a lot of bigotry and hate in these posts for a couple of people that they don’t even know. Which is a little comical as that’s what a lot of people are accusing them of. There is lots of name calling that they are morons and bad people. For all you know they could be someone who has saved one of your loved ones say from an accident, or taught a loved one of yours as a teacher. But because they have an opinion, which they are entitled to, and it doesn’t match yours, they are automatically morons? That’s not how this works. Reminds me of the George Carlin bit where everyone one driving slower than you is an idiot, and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac. OP didn’t do much to help this by setting up these kinds of responses with the initial question and comments. Instead of asking a bunch of random people on the internet who are all in an echo chamber how about sitting down with your parents and just having a conversation with them about it. They did raise you so they should at least get a little credit. But what do I know. My kids have no problem discussing anything with me, and we all know that we are never going to agree 100% on things and that’s ok. They are entitled to their opinion just like we all are. Just because it doesn’t match yours doesn’t make them idiots.
Someone’s opinions can absolutely make them a moron. I mean intelligence in general is largely defined by the scope and rationality of someone’s thoughts and opinions.
It seems like you are trying to make a point that having an opinion is not something we should be judging someone for. While people are entitled to opinions they are absolutely not entitled to freedom from judgement or consequence for those opinions.
I am curious if your take here would change at all if instead of this opinion their opinion was “insert race here doesn’t deserve to live” or “age is just a number and sex with any age of person is totally fine”
conservatives’ feelings get really hurt when they are reminded that their opinions are not shared by the majority of human beings
That’s a lot of words for a post that doesn’t contain a single substantive rebuttal to anything it’s complaining about.
Also, the phrase “entitled to their opinion” has almost never been applied to matters of opinion, and needs to die in a fire yesterday. Apparently that’s an opinion I’m entitled to.
