OMG SRSLY WTF???

"The Star Wars universe is going on 40-years-old these days, but apparently the alt-right just now got the memo that the franchise’s universe is multi-cultural..."

Yup. The poor wittle Trumpflakes are apparently all miffed about Rogue One because it's, er, "anti-white" or something.

So they've invented a #DumpStarWars hashtag -- which was promptly, and humorously, co-opted by Star Wars fans and people with, y'know, an actual sense of proportion, with tweets like these:





Seriously, what is wrong with these people??

And what's baffling is that this is the party that -- allegedly -- is all about going back to the basics of the Constitution. Which (hello!!) include freedom of speech and freedom of religion. I just don't get their logic.

Ah, but we all have very different understandings about what those freedoms mean. To certain groups, Trump included, "freedom of speech" doesn't mean the freedom to say things that they themselves might disagree with or find offensive (witness Trump's renewed call for imprisonment of flag-burners). Anything they disagree with is by definition dangerous propaganda and needs to be stopped -- for the safety of the country. And "freedom of religion" doesn't mean freedom for all religions, or freedom to have no religion. It means "protecting Christians," because this is a Christian country, and it's what God wants.

To a lot of people, this logic is obvious and impeccable, and they are baffled that WE can't see it.
