Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Never said they all want to murder me

conservatives literally want to murder me

Don't be disingenuous, why are you purposefully leaving a part out of that quote that you have to know changes the meaning?

a nontrivial percentage of conservatives literally want to murder me

See? Does that say "all"? Why are you going out of your way to make it seem like I said something I didn't?

I'm not, and I'm not. Here's your original quote that I quoted and that I replied to...

conservatives literally want to murder me

I doubt the majority of conservatives would want to literally murder you.

There are always a few crazies on either end that we all have to deal with.

I never said "all" either, please don't put words in my mouth or create strawman.

The overall conversation was about the majority of them, and even on my last quote when I requoted what you said, it wasn't to insinuate all, but just the majority.

The point I was trying to make is that there's just a few extremists on either end, and that the majority of them wouldn't do what you described.

Anyway, I'm not willing to go back and forth on this any further, it seems like we'll have to agree to disagree, and move on.
