    No you can’t. You cannot say you support racial equality while holding a BLM sign one day and attending a KKK rally the next.

      If I give you a dollar and I give Steve a dollar, I’ve supported you both.

      Your example is also wrong. BLM and KKK are organizations. You absolutely can support both organizations by giving them money. It makes you a hypocrite and means you don’t believe in equality. But when has anyone claimed the United States isn’t hypocritical?

        Steve and me are entities. Democracy is an ideology.

        You cannot support an ideology while also supporting its polar opposite.
