pretty crass to be calling out my specific limited statement. I kept it brief, concise and non-political, but you had to go there.TCTTS said:
If you have political issues with this, that's one thing. But if your enthusiasm is killed simply because she'll no longer be involved, I don't know what to tell you. IMO, she's always been a terrible actress, since we first saw her in Haywire back in 2011, and I cringed nearly every time she showed up in Mando. Creatively, I could not care less if she isn't in future seasons.

it would be one thing if I had gone on any sort of rant, but the rest of your comment.. hell the entire comment, was pretty unnecessary.

1. Outrage is quite a strong word to get from my comment, and just because I said I'm Anti-Trump doesn't make me a "lib". Not everything is one way or the other.
2. I do find it funny that both sides of the political aisle call each other nazis, or bring up how Hitler rose to power when talking about the other side.
3. And LOL at saying conservatives are patriots. They aren't the perpetrators of everything wrong, but that is as idiotic as her Instagram story share.
They haven't. They'll all be onto some other crusade tomorrowjohnnyblaze36 said:
Saw a very tiny handful of miserable nobodies on twitter earlier today around 2 pm trying to get #FireGinaCarano trending and tagging Disney and Lucasfilm.
I hope these born losers have now found some sense of fulfillment in their pathetic existences.

I'd say this is about equally offensive. Probably more.
Should Pedro be fired?

At first I thought she was fired for being a Trump supporter, which would be ridiculous. I'm saying that as someone who is very anti-Trump.
Comparing Republicans of today to Jews during the Holocaust is pretty bad.
Ok well let's be accurate then you can be outraged.
She didn't compare Conservatives to Jews DURING the holocaust.
She compared the treatment of Jews in the early days of the rise of Nationalism and how Jews were made out to be the enemy and then beaten sometimes by their neighbors simply for being Jewish.
She made the comparison that it was not much different than being beaten for your political beliefs.
She said that getting to the point where the Nazis could easily round them up was preceded by the government making them the target of hatred.
I see nothing in her statement that says Conservatives now are experiencing anything akin to the holocaust. the warning is that it could go that way.
Now if you are still outraged fine.
But consider the circumstances in comparison:
The Nazis took control by censoring opposing voices, controlling the media, confiscating weapons from private citizens, and identifying and labeling a common enemy for the masses to direct their hate toward - the Jews. Then they used that narrative to identify and literally label them as they forced them out of jobs, took their wealth and sent them for re-education. And worse.
Which political party controls the media???
Which one wants to confiscate our guns?
Which one is labeling a common group to hate?
Which one is censoring opinions?
Which one wants those in that group identified, ostracized, fired from jobs and re-educated?
Libs have bought into that party and the media's narrative so hook line and sinker that they think that patriots and conservatives are the perpetrator of everything wrong. It's not a long road from where we are. Here comparison was valid.
