Yes, I am willing to compare them. The gay couple could have gone to where they knew the bakers were not prejudiced toward them. But, in our society, they shouldn't have to do that. Sanders shouldn't be refused service at a public restaurant. Donald Trump shouldn't be denied it, either.That's fine. You keep playing Switzerland, and other people will actually fight back. There are better approaches, but if you're a restaurant owner, and this is your only chance to make a statement against this administration, then I'm certainly not going to knock you for trying.
At worst this was a mild inconvenience for their party. They could easily drive to half a dozen establishments within a 30 minute radius that would gladly serve them and possibly even comp them their meals, or at the very least a few rounds of drinks. Yet you're willing to compare this to the experience of black folks in the Jim Crow era south. This reminds me of the Trump vs Hitler comparison...
The blacks in the Jim Crow South are not identical to Sanders. But, their refusal of service based on the establishment owner's "not liking them" is close enough to identical to me. The result was identical... they were refused service and it created an uproar. The owner wanted her gone because they didn't like what she stood for, or whatever the problem was. I'm trying to call out the rude and shameful behavior against ALL people, not just the ones I agree with. That's not like Switzerland.
This doesn't remind me of Trump vs. Hitler at all.
