    It was at a pau hana a couple weeks ago. I called out a neighbor on this. I also called them a coward when the didn’t want to share some of their more ‘problematic’ opinions on immigrants, gay and trans rights, and abortion. Beyond the scope of this conversation, but if you have an opinion you aren’t willing to share publicly because its that ‘problematic’, then you are a coward. You don’t get to hide behind civility to shroud your racism or bigotry, at least not around me.

    And I’m not at all afraid of physical confrontation. I’ve stood face to face against proud boys and white nationalists from Portland to dc. I’ve taken the punches and drank the tear gas. No mind. We have to stand up against bigotry and hatred where ever we find it, and with physical confrontation if need be.

      A couple of weeks ago. Convenient.

      I’ve stood face to face against proud boys and white nationalists from Portland to dc.

      Sure. You travel the country from Oregon to the nation’s capital fighting fascists wherever you go, and now you’re in Hawaii, the center of the fascist machine, fighting the good fight by supposedly insulting your neighbor.

      Definitely very believable. You’re super tough.

      By the way, you forgot to downvote my previous post. How will I know I’m a bad person if you don’t downvote me?

        You asked a question and I answered you. Not sure what else you want. Its not clear any answer would be acceptable to you but there it is.

        You done?

          Weird that the one question you answered was the one where you could brag about how big and tough you were and not the one which would have clearly shown that a president is not all-powerful based on your own example.

              I might have an answer for my approach on apologetics or its consequences, but you’d have to answer my question about congress and you refuse to do that.

                I don’t think you do. I think you just talk and spin wheels. I don’t think you’ve done the introspection necessary to have an answer.
