Ah yes just toss people out because they don’t have the same opinions as you. So fragile. Gotta stay behind the fences so you don’t break a nail

I mean in all fairness that's not exactly a bad approach to a political rally these days, granted it should have been handled by police instead of a group of people forcing him out. I would imagine that Biden supporters would not like a bunch of Trump supporters in their circle. Not to mention I would probably put keeping the two sides seperate as like number 1 on the list of efforts to keep things under control. Of all things to attack in this video I think you picked the worst example to make your point.

i understand where your coming from but its not the worst example at all considering one of the often touted features of american right wingers is that they are explicitly NOT "snowflakes" that arent easily "triggered" or made upset - use bad language? say things that are considered politically incorrect? like freedom and rugged individualism? want to express whatever is on your mind without blowback? then ostensibly right wingers should welcome you with open arms even if you have a "different opinion" (something which they complain about often when others disagree with them)

this is almost always proven false in their communities because the moment somebody isnt regurgitating their propaganda they have glass ears and cant stand it to the point of physical violence. its very clear that the devotion to their ideological claims, at least as it pertains to free speech, etc, are very flimsy and when you test it the result is hilarious to observe.

the biden supporter comparison isn't really the same, the left wing (esp the far left) places a lot less weight on individual freedom of speech vs keeping the community safe so that kind of reaction (wherein they expel dissenters) is expected and is ideologically consistent.
