They are entitled to their opinions.... and I’m actually kind of with them when it comes to the term lynching as Trump is far from the first person to use it in a metaphorical sense and I don’t believe he intended any offence in that case.... they are also right that the dictionary definition of the word doesn’t apply specifically to black people. His use of the metaphor was not particularly accurate even in a metaphorical sense, as he is not being victimised by a mob, he is facing consequences for his own actions.
Also, so many other things they are saying are just wrong...
*There was a huge uproar from conservatives over AOC using the term concentration camps... a massive uproar.... and she was actually using the term in a more literal sense than Trump used the word lynching.
*The Dems are following due process. There is plenty of info out there to suggest abuse of power and suggestions of treasonous dealings which certainly warrant further investigation.... if Bill Clinton can be impeached for lying in a media interview about whether he was involved in sexual activity in the Oval Office, then Trump certainly warrants further investigation. If anyone is not following due process, it’s probably the republicans who staged their sit in. Robert Mueller said he did not personally have the power to indict Trump but strongly suggested it was up to the house to impeach him for indictment to become a possibility. It seems there was a strong inference of guilt in his comments and the dems are following due process whether their critics approve of the process or not... personally I think they disapprove of the situation, not the process itself.
*White people are certainly allowed to use the term infestation...but applying it to a group of immigrants or any group of humans is certainly using dehumanising language and it’s certainly valid to raise that as a discussion point. Nobody has suggested Trump can not use the term infestation or even lynching, but the right to criticise a person’s choice of words is a logical extension of free speech.
