You don't want to be punched for being too nice?

We definitely don't need to know anymore. We all understand that's just the way of the world.

This was my feeling as well. I was so irritated when the guest tried to use an MLK Jr. quote as an excuse for not punching a neo-Nazi guy. MLK was for non-violence, but only using one quote ignores the nuance of his views. The further I listened into this episode, the more Alingon sounded like the "White Moderate" that MLK wrote about in his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail":

Nazis are protected by Free Speech from government persecution. It doesn't mean that you won't face negative consequences from your fellow citizens who disagree, especially if your speech has to do with the ethnic cleansing of non-whites from the US.

Chemda I think it is very naive at this point to think that Trump is actually sad or hurt by what people say about him. You said it yourself hes gas lighting the country. He has been for almost 2 years now. He knows exactly what he is doing. He's extremely tactical and trying to diminish him by calling him sensitive or whatever is not how you fight back.

Please don't mistake me calling him sensitive for me not understanding that he is powerful and tactical.

That doesn't mean that he is not a sensitive little bitch too.

I see your point.

But how would you write that in the lawbooks without affecting other groups from being punched too? I'm really asking.
