Actually, I am very aware of the danger of implicit bias. But I didn't start by viewing Trump as a travesty. When he came down the escalator - my views on him were actually neutral, because I didn't know much about him. My views about him developed over the following months and years as I watched his actions, listened to his language, and observed is choices. It is not "bias" to come to a conclusion about someone on the basis of observed behavior.Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View Post
I take what he says as he says it - and evaluate it as better or worse depending on what it is. When he stands and expresses sympathy for people caught in the grips of a disaster, I applaud him. When he enacts a policy to separate children from their parents, I decry him. It is not my doing that his actions tend more to the latter than the former.Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View Post
Your perspective and opinion are noted. They're wrong, but history suggests that denial is not going to go accepted, so I leave you to your assumptions.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
