Yeah, I frankly don't care how you want to confound the issue. This discussion began with an article about the religious right and anti-LGBTQ messaging. I don't see liberals or Democrats claiming to be the "religious right." Again, let me reiterate my point that you are acting in bad faith. When you are finally mature enough to open up your mind and your heart and possibly, just possibly adjust your sacred "whole world view" -- only then would I attempt to engage in conversation with you. Until then, I bid you adieu.
By claiming, correctly, that the vast majority of religious conservatives aren't Nazis?
By saying that the majority of us have no power over the far right or extremists in rural counties?
By saying that conflating 100% of us are just as bad as the furthest 20% of us, simply because I voted for a reasonable republican candidate and someone in oklahoma voting for an idiot candidate that happened to have the same letter by his name?
If you want to keep playing this 'us vs them' game that's popular in politics right now, go for it. I vote for the candidate, not by the letter next to their name.
So who's arguing in bad faith? The one saying I can't control voters 2,000 miles away, or you saying that if I don't, I'm a nazi?
Clearly a bot. Trained to not shut the fuck up. You're not a Nazi because I called you one, which I didn't. You're a Nazi because you continue to browbeat people, including me, into accepting your opinion and not listening to my clear statement that I no longer want to engage in conversation with you. That, my friend, is a Nazi.
I took the history of Nazi Germany for my history degree.
I don't think you actually know what a nazi is, and that's why you're calling 50 million americans nazi's
You took a course?! No fucking way! /s
Fuck off you nasty ass Nazi fucker. Bot.
Okay man, I'm actually scared for you. You need to chill out, there aren't 50 million nazi's in the US. Not everyone that disagrees with you is one, or a bot or both.
You seriously need to take a breath.
Funny. The Nazi wants to tell me how to breathe. Bro, I've been requesting you to drop this conversation for a week. The original post is 9 days old. If you cannot follow a simple request from someone who wants to be left alone, guess what? 🤫 You could be a Nazi.
You seriously need to lay off the keyboard.
Chill. Not everyone's a nazi and not everyones a bot. You don't need to be paranoid about these things.
Oh mah gawd...this guy is still blathering on...🙄
Woah, I'm shocked, I wasn't sure if you could make a comment without calling someone a nazi or bot!
Oh my gawd...he still won't shut the fuck up. Has to have the last word.
At least I admit it, look in the mirror homie. You're bitching about me responding to your responses hahahaha
