  • “Living in fear” is very different from the reality of what you argue for, which is “being apathetic to those who will suffer from the consequences of my actions”

    You quoted me saying either and then didn’t include the other possibility lol… Yes, Trump voters all fit into one of those two categories, making you not much different.

    Never said you didn’t live a full life, wanted praise, that you wrote the article, or that the community should censor you. Being selfish is antisocial, and you spend your whole time in here complaining that you get downvoted, dismissed wholehearted, ridiculed, interspersed with missing everyone’s points about why something is empathetic to do, and why what you spread isn’t. I don’t think you do any of that for praise, I think you either don’t have fully functional empathy or you’re too into weeds to find your way out through logic. I don’t believe you can logic anyone out of a belief if they didn’t logic their way into it and so the way they lurch back to their original nonsense is always more telling than the nonsense itself.


  • “I’m voting for my values, and I’m not scared of Trump. I won’t vote out of fear.” This is the epitome of privilege, and why people dislike you. I think that warrants more introspection.

    [Pause for introspection]

    Do other people have things to fear about his idealogy? How precisely do you suggest that they deal with that risk? If you don’t fear him and what he’ll do to you, and you don’t care what he’ll do to other people who don’t deserve it enough to lift a finger, or put your purity politics aside, then you are selfish and idiologically unfit for the 2 party system that we currently live in. A based person with your ideals would vote for what’s better based on the system we have rather than the system they want, and then lobby, call, donate, and canvas for system that they want.

    So we arrive at two options, either you are a sociopath who doesn’t understand why letting bad things happen to other people is bad, or you’re incredibly uninformed about the ramnifications of your actions whether purposefully or unintentionally… or you’re an AI bot wasting everyone’s time being fed prompts by some shithead Jimmy Dore type. It doesn’t really matter because the explanation has been given to you dozens of times and you some how read enough to respond to it all and then completely miss the point about other people being important, not just yourself. Anti-social bellyaching isn’t going to get you any praise online in largely progressive circles.













  • A Secret service agent there said it was a piece of glass that sliced his ear which made a lot more sense with how it looks, and is in line with Trump’s retelling of the story at the RNC, (he heard a buzz go by) but it doesn’t really change anything from either side. Trump would have said Jesus personally blocked the bullet no matter what and getting hit by glass rather than a bullet doesn’t make it much less traumatic of an event to imagine for those of us with empathy.
