"We get it, you like Trump, stop with all the games."

Pot meets kettle. So I guess all of that talk about "strawmen" was just projection. Okay. I see what you did there.

Saying some BS like a group of people fantasizes about people getting hurt, yeah that sounds very on brand for Trump and people who follow him.

Also, assuming who someone is voting for is not a straw man lol, might wanna look up the term. And when someone says being pragmatic is bad, yeah, sounds like a Trump voter. Pragmatic literally means: dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations. Look it up.

If you think that's bad then you're literally living in a fantasy world of theories and what ifs. Kinda like his tariffs idea or injecting bleach, or a million other stupid ideas he's had.

Lightor at this point I dont even need to read your comments, I just read you name and autmatically skip to downvote.

I suppose that's easier than stepping out of the echo chamber and engaging with conflicting points of view. Ignoring people who disagree with you or have opposing views is not a good way to operate or have a good world view. You can disagree with me, sure, and I disagree with you. But I'm not going to just blindly down vote you and assume you're wrong, that's ignorant.

I see you are now trying to construct a new straw man. You might want to look up the term "projection." Go ahead, look it up.

What strawman am I making? What?
