i think their point might have been -

you don’t have to, enough of this country either heard it and didn’t care, or just doesn’t care

leading a horse to water and all that, maybe?

i’ll bite.

i hope they get exactly what they voted for.

venture capital / investor cash cannons

my read was that by putting “banning” in quotes, there was a subtext to the comment.

no one is “banning” words - the milieu is that we don’t use certain words for certain (in this case obvious and terrible) reasons.

by pushing the focus to the “banning” and not the obvious dog whistle, this comment seems to be shifting the convo away from people being racist shits to a discussion on language.

hence this entire comment chain.

i just want people to get the takeaway that jesus fuck people are racist, not “liberals can’t ban words, see?”

think you might have grabbed a slightly tilted takeaway from this…
