Calling you a political bigot is just true. I'm not saying anything about your mama, she might be a fine lady.
You're defending his behavior and justifying it because you do the same thing. That's what a lot of people do to justify denigrating another group. "Oh, but mine's harmless and by the way, I'm totally RIGHT!"
You seek out and take opportunities to cast entire political groups in negative light. If you limited it to individuals, I wouldn't have that opinion about you, but you generalize in negative terms and that's the definition of bigotry.
No, you're not criminal or militant, but you are bigoted.
I go out of my way to avoid casting entire groups in one light. I'm guilty of it and I try to eliminate it from my thinking, because it's lazy and easy. Since I'm accustomed to scanning my own thoughts for that logical fallacy, I can see it in other thoughts. I have a much lower threshold of tolerance, not necessarily because every incident of bigotry is destructive to society as a whole, but because it's destructive to my own mind.
You still don't know the definitions. You are trying to say I am prejudiced.
I am. We all are. In my case, however, I happen to be passionately prejudiced against what I used to be in much the same way as a reformed smoker, converted vegan, or born-again Christian, but I will not apologize for that.
