No actually that was not my intent.O.E. » 16 Aug 2017 7:13 am » wrote:Easy enough to relate to the sentiment. At the core of the ideology of racists / Nazis / Nazi appeasers stands the designation to groups a status of lesser humans or subhumans. That's the root of all evil, and disassociating oneself from that sure is the right thing to do.
"Trumpanzees" apparently is a combination of Trump and chimpanzees, and it apparently assigns to Trump and supporters a subhuman status, likening them to chimps. (My first and also my last posting under this title.)
For years the title of this thread was 'Flying Monkeys' which was a reference to the winged monkeys in the Wizard of Oz who were the slaves and minions of the Wicked Witch.
That title was not about calling people subhuman, it was a description of people with a pack mentality who blindly follow a leader or an ideology.
So Trumpanzees is just a play on words from the original title.
It is not meant to call Trump supporters subhuman.
It is about the people who blindly follow him.

That's too bad.
I hope you'll change your mind about that.
