Serves as a good reminder how important the language we use is.
My interpretation, too.


It is "acceptable" so far as it is "OK" for people to really hold any belief. But I do not think it is "right" or "correct".

Like, for example, the mainstream media using miss-leading terms like "undocumented" or simply "Immigrant" to describe illegal aliens.

Well, we can put one thing to bed. The Nazis we saw marching are not an anomaly - they are a bonafide part of the American Right.

In this poll, 3% of Republicans support white supremacy movement. As do 2% of Democrats.

It also shows that 4% of African Americans support the white supremacy movement as do 7% of Latinos.


Also, in this same poll you have 76% of Democrats support BLM. And, you have more Republicans supporting BLM than you do white supremacy.


Things aren't as my side good the other side bad as you sycophants paint it to be.

Polls can be worded to obtain desired answers.
I wonder what the result would be among the GOP if you asked "Do you believe White People are generally superior to others?".....

Of course most would support BLM - Most Irish would have supported their institutions when they were trod upon - but their Bosses (in the UK or here) didn't need to have "movements" because they owned everything anyway.

Only those short on rights need band together to fight for or assure them. Wall Street already has a cult they belong to - MONEY as GOD.

Yes, because we have freedom of speech in this country. That means you can hold whatever views you want no matter how abhorrent I may find them to be.

Protected by the First Amendment? Yes. Should it be socially acceptable? Absolutely not.

If they had asked if you HELD neo-nazi views that's a legitimate question. Or if it is LEGAL to hold neo-nazi views, the answer of course is yes. May be stupid or dangerous, but it is surely your perogative to have them. The good news is that the more rallies we have like Charlottesville, the more these miscreants come out from under their rocks to get their faces out on Facebook and YouTube. Most of them can't stand the light of day, and they will end up burning their bridges with family and community. These views will not be accepted by the vast majority of Americans.

Is there a link to the actual survey to see what was asked?

Do you really believe there is a dramatic difference in how people respond to "are neo-Nazi views acceptable" between Democrats and Republicans?

OK. Let me understand this. Why do you think that Democrats and Republicans would differ on their thoughts about this? Do you think that Republicans would be less likely to approve of neo-Nazism? Or more likely to approve of neo-Nazism?
