    I didn’t “come in here & tell [you] all off,” I simply said I felt AOC shouldn’t have involved their performance in her rebuttal because it was sinking to their level. The fact you took that as a personal attack is maybe something you should be the one reflecting upon. Nowhere did I say the shitty attitude should be tolerated - just that we should make sure that’s all we are attacking in response, lest we open ourselves up to being dismissed for illegitimate or unfair attacks of our own.

      Riley Gaines is a hate monger and a grifter. She is a disgusting and vile creature! (ie. A typical republikkklan) She deserves all the vitriol she receives, plus a lot more. I’d be good mocking her for her obvious lack of intelligence, too, as well as her loser attempt to blame another for her own life failures.

          No. You just can’t admit that you’re wrong, or at least, well out of step with popular opinion, so you are doubling down. I’m just unsure whether you like the albeit negative attention, or whether you need to always be right. Neither of those are positive traits, although I’ll grant you points for having a strong mind. A strong, SMART mind, however, would intuit when to back off…

            Popular opinion got us Trump. You’re entitled to your opinion just as I am mine. Funnily enough, who’s right or wrong here is also a matter of opinion. That fact you’re triggered enough to fire off so many responses to me in so many threads tells me you probably aren’t being terribly level-headed in your thinking, so with that in mind I’m taking your opinions with a grain of salt.

            ETA: I’m merely vigorously arguing my opinion until proven wrong, as I would expect you to. I’ve even made some minor concessions in places despite your claims otherwise. Nobody has definitively proven my perspective invalid as of yet, IMHO.

                  1. No, I’m not going to go trawling your history, I simply don’t care enough
                  2. The rest of the world does exist you know.
                  3. You can be a shitty person based off some things and not others. The way you’ve acted in this thread and especially using the word triggered in that fashion while talking to a minority group, isn’t a good look. Maybe you could try being introspective instead of making light of trauma and PTSD.

              Double down and don’t learn anything? Of course you will ! I didn’t expect anything else, tbh.
