    I don’t like that he supported a campaign against gay marriage. I don’t know his reasons for doing so but it’s probably not one I’d support.

    But my understanding extends no further. I know he made a donation. I don’t have the nuance or understanding to extrapolate that into putting him into an entire box

    There’s something ironic about tarring him with a broad brush based on one attribute

        I’ll absolutely disagree with his action in contributing to taking away same sex marriage. I don’t see why gay people shouldn’t get married.

        I don’t know his reason for contributing to it. I’ll very likely disagree with his reason.

        What I’m saying is, does that make him alt-right (whatever that even means)? The only thing you can deduce is that he thinks gay people shouldn’t get married

      hey guys stop being judgemental of bigots

      Honestly how is that different from what you’re saying on a topic you’re simultaneously admitting you’re uniformed about? You can afford as much leniency to hate as you want it doesn’t make you open minded or nuanced

        Isn’t what I said

        All I’ve said is you can’t extrapolate “He disagrees with X there for he must also be Y and Z”

          Yes because X is in set Y and has an extremely high correlation to Z. Kinda like how we call things that look and quack like a duck a duck
