How so? Trump is a scumbag con artist but at least he's not after gays and women with the same moral furor.
It is my impression that Trump picks a group because of no actual conviction but because it suits his purposes. It's debatable if that's worse than doing it because of some misguided moral conviction, but I think so. It means that nobody is safe.
Both are deplorable human beings.
Ahh, I totally get you now.
to Pyraxis for asking the right question.
This would also explain why you keep defending Islam , I think. You buy the "moral conviction" side of it.
But what if the moral fervour is all about ego-defence , at basis? For most people, most of the time , that's sadly true, I believe. That's how come you can get savage ironies like pro-
life campaigners gunning people down. The irony doesn't even occur to a moral crusader.
I picked an extreme example, but if you keep your eyes open , you can see people hurting other people with their moral stances all the time,; and also underminuing the causes they purportly support. If the object of the game is to demonstrate one's moral superiority, then there's zero incentive to think things through, or to develop any actual empathy.
Personally, I don't think anybody's safe from a moral crusader. At least the average self-motivated cynic is more honest, not only with the rest of us, but -importantly- himself.
Not that Trump is an average anything. I'm not defending Trump here, just shooting you down...I hope.
