Umm, you definately have some interesting opinions, some of them I can agree with, some of them I can't, and some of them are just all out whack. I'm not sure what you were saying at the end about my opinions because it was pretty unclear. The first two sentences after @blue contradicted each other. And I don't believe that there is a need for me to specify if I am religiously or just ethnically Jewish from the beginning, because why does it really matter? Should that change how what I say is received? Of course not.
By the way, I rarely use CNN for information. I am a bit tired of people in this forum solely attacking CNN and not ever Fox, because both of them aren't very credible.
And stop blaming the fact that I have different opinions than you on my age, what information I'm getting, stuff like that. People will have different opinions from each other. Maybe Trumpers don't understand how anyone could have a different opinion, but believe me some of the stuff I see here makes me question humanity's sanity as a whole. If someone has a different opinion than you, it doesn't mean that they are uneducated, stupid, young, or anything (although I am fairly younger than you). People's opinions are primarily based on what information they see most, their parents political opinions, where they grew up, what class their family was, etc.
By the way, I've never really understood what people meant by "cancel culture". I know what it means, but I don't think it's as big as some people make it out to be. And yes, the constitution grants us many freedoms, but that does not mean that it has to be like that forever. For instance, even though "they have the right to do it", I believe that hate speech should be illegal because, well, it's only purpose is to try to provoke people into violence. By hate speech I don't mean like people calling each other idiots and morons, but I mean like a white person going around screaming the n word and other racial slurs. You may disagree. Just because you have the "right" to do it doesn't mean that you should do it, and it doesn't mean that you should always have that right. Laws change, people change. If we stick strongly to laws that were made over 200 years ago and don't question how they hold up in modern day society, then we really aren't thinking clearly enough to be running a country. Think about it. Slaves were legal. Slave owners had the right to own slaves. Did that make it a good thing? Absolutely not. If people just said "we have the right to do it" and walked off, honestly we probably would still have slavery. See my point?
