Edit: I didn’t actually think I’d need to put this here but unfortunately I think those kinds of people are here

Bigots are not welcome on my post and they are certainly not welcome on my post to co-opt it to spread bigotry

I am progressive myself and support human rights and LGBTQ+ people

    You cannot compromise with a bigot

    To reiterate the comment you’re responding to, you’re reducing a complex world to a binary choice. Everyone that has ever existed is bigoted to some degree, therefore no compromise is possible ever?

      Their example of bigots was racists and nazis plus pedos (which isn’t bigotry but universally frowned upon). They did NOT say, “any and all bigots, even of minor things”.

      Why are you trying to make them say something they did not say?

      You are part of the problem. When someone says, “I like pancakes”, what they SPECIFICALLY DID NOT SAY is, “I hate waffles”.

      Similarly, when someone says, “you cannot compromize with nazis and bigots”, what they DID NOT say was, “any concervative deserves the death penalty”. Why do you read it as such?

        I quoted an entire sentence exactly. They didn’t say “I like pancakes”, they said “You can’t compromise with waffle-eaters”
