Summary
Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde refused to apologize after delivering a sermon at the National Cathedral that criticized Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ and immigration policies, calling for compassion and mercy for marginalized groups.
Trump responded by attacking Budde on Truth Social, labeling her a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater.”
Budde, known for prior criticism of Trump, said she stands by her message and has received both support and threats.
She emphasized the need for dignity and respect in public discourse to counter the “culture of contempt.”
Perfect example of missing the point - complete with a straw-man - thanks!
So you didn’t make your point very well then.
Maybe? 🤷♂️
What is the point you are making?
Take, for example, this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31532172/16240830
“Fuck you nazi” in reply to somebody simply disagreeing over whether the Democrats should be held to blame for a new FCC investigation.
I’ve been called a nazi for simply saying things like “voting for Kamala would have led to better outcomes than voting for Trump”.
Everyone is Nazis!
Well, that is a shitty thread with a knee-jerk Nazi response, which is froth-at-the-mouth stupid, but to be clear, you claim mere disagreement when instead you attacked the individual with supposition and derision rather than just disagreement.
If we are going to avoid having an echo chamber here, we have to raise the level of discourse and avoid ad hominem attacks please.
One random person on the internet vs the President of the USA. Whose voice do you think holds more weight?
To whom?
