To dismiss Governor Northam's rascist behavior in 1984

[nightwing1240]

because it was 35 years ago, is like dismissing tRumps behavior. How many here, and rightfully so, have railed against Evangelicals "forgiving" dotards past transgressions because he was young, is now a changed man etc?

Also, think about it; The longer this drags on, it provides more fodder to tRump, his minions, rethugs and Fux News and shows that we are no better than they.

As President and Mrs Obama said many times, when they go low, we go higher! Take the high ground and resign now, Governor Northam!

1. That's a poor comparison when Evangelicals know what Trump is and that he has made no

effort to redeem himself.

2. Uhm however loathsome the governors actions were 35 years ago. He is NOTHING like trump.

4. The OP is not saying he's like Trump.

The OP is saying Northam's apologists are like Trump's apologists.

7. horrible comparison. Northam was a good gov , Trump is shitty right now

I agree that Northam needs to go and he is making it worse by staying.

but the comparison is bs. northam didn't campaign as a racist and didn't do shitty things as governor.

Trump is shitty RIGHT NOW.

8. False equivalence. nt
