I gotta admit that I’ve never watched “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” or even heard of Johnathan Van Ness before, but apparently he’s a big deal and that show is fairly popular. Regardless, Van Ness is now under fire for trying to bring a little bit of reason to our political climate.
Take a look at Van Ness’ tweets that have people all bent out of shape.
Not all republicans are racist. Just like not all democrars are evil, we have to stop demonizing eachother. Unless you’re actually racist then you suck, Trump is Racist – not all his voters are necessarily we gotta remember we are all in this together.

Luckily a lot to extreme right people won yesterday, meaning that if we can come up w center left candidates we can take back the house & senate, not to mention many state legislatures. It is so important for the left to not go too left or we are done for.

I know, I know how horrible! For someone to not actually generalize an entire group of people is an absolute tragedy! This kind of thinking will not be tolerated especially by the tolerant left.
Take a look at some of the well-thought out and rational responses to Van Ness’ triggering tweets.
Be warned: the stupidity is strong with these.
I love you and I hope you see the privilege in this response. I can't afford to compromise with people who would see me dead.

racism is abt systemic oppression of people based on race. they voted 4 a racist who ➡️ pursues a white nationalist agenda (that’s why they voted for him) ➡️they are systematically oppressing people based on race by voting 4 that agenda ➡️all trump supporters are racists.

I really do not understand how you can say not all of Trumps supporters are racists. That’s not “demonizing” the right — that’s like calling a spade a spade. It is fact.

Trump is a racist, narcissistic nightmare. With maybe two exceptions the entire GOP congress supports and enables him. What compromise do you suggest? Should we meet them half way? Just no.
