Trump washing and macro refers to you going straight to anti Trump type stereotypes and saying GO to the discussion. Talking an issue on its, own merits seldom happens.It's not "literal", it's at least hit within the ball park.So literal.Take note, I know. "you trumptards" is like macro #2 for your replies.Then take note. The response I made here was simply to point out - apply those sentiments to the left as well as to the right and I have, multiple times pointed out that we have more in common then not, regardless of which side is attacked. I'm in another thread defending Bush for christ sake.Cause every once in awhile we find some way to get past the crap and talk.Where have I said that? I seldom see you NOT attack the right in a stereotypical manner. You are an individual with your own beliefs, so are they.Freak me out. Remark favorably for the right.Yea the leftists have no habits to change...both sides just troll the hell out of each other mocking whatever is said.Well, to be fair, i know you stupid hillbillies are just talking about civil war in an exercise in masturbation. But law enforcement has to take all threats seriously.You people are paranoid. Nobody wants to kill you people because frankly, you're not a threat.
Between you and me, we're only trolling you heathen leftists with all that talk about "civil war."
We're not really the "monsters" you make us out to be. We have wives, husbands, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, just like anyone else. We also have pets: Dogs, cats, fish, parrots, whatever.
The sooner you realize that everybody in this country basically wants the same things out of life, the sooner you realize that you're not really much different than we are.
How's that for a fuckin' "Kumbaya"?
But regardless, I guaranfuckingtee you that anyone comes breaking through my door at 3 AM will still get shot in the face.
I wish the rightists would apply that to the leftists here.
No "one" side is above it.
Any chance you will actually attack the one who starts the dialogue for a change instead of waiting until I make a remark even remotely favorable to the left? Or maybe I'm being unduly sensitive?
Ya, both sides engage in it. Did I say they DIDN'T?
Sometimes it's hard, especially in these times, to realize that more often than NOT we have more in common then we think if we can lose the tribalism that is consuming us. When Isamophobia was raging, one man, a muslim who ran and I think won a mayor position in a small town. He engaged his community by inviting people to dinner with his family. Everyone has those groups they are uncomfortable with, because they don't really know them and that causes fear or a need to persecute - with it's "fundies" or "liberals". And if you want to change minds about things, attacking them isn't very effective as a strategy, it just hardens defenses, rightfully so. Understanding, finding commonality, is a better first approach (if changing minds is the goal). I like what this man did as an example.
I try to talk about things in common a lot. It never ends well because I don't bash what you hate. How it comes across anyway.
And I bash the right for tribal stupid shit too.
And if the attacks, harden the defense, why are you always on the attack? Just a question.
I don't require and have never requested that you "bash" what I "hate". Period. It just gets old when ever I say something favorable to the left or critical of the right you have to come down snarky. Why don't you say something to the guy who seems to think we should ONLY extend feelings of commonality to the RIGHT? Eh?
Ive pissed off people on both sides to be sure.
Then you just plain don't read my posts, so why do you even bother responding?
That Coyote is fun to talk to.
Hard to talk to someone about individual views when you "Trump wash" any idea you don't like.
I have to laugh. I was going to challenge you to prove your claim with a link...then I thought nah...you won't do it, so I ran a search on how many times I used "trumptard" - it came up with 3 times I did. All on one date, and in response to another "tard" comment. We ALL get frustrated at that shit. But but you're gonna call it "macro #2" for me, go figure.
OK what ever you win.
Defining what would be a successful Trump plan never happens either. I tried n was called a troll and you went to ignore me for awhile.
So you want to be very literal when I'm simply describing how, I see your mindset.
Have fun.
