Didn't think Lewk would become an apologist for sexual assault or perving on one's own kids, but here we are.

Hope is the denial of reality
Did you not? You could get a modern-day US conservative to argue for napalming orphanages and deliberately releasing crude oil directly into the drinking water of major cities if they thought it would somehow 'trigger the libs'. They've lost any kind of coherent ideological framework, nothing left there now but petty spite and greed.

Ah yes because if someone disagrees with you politically they must either be stupid or immoral.Originally Posted by Steely Glint
Too easy. You have the cause and effect reversed.
You aren't stupid and immoral because I disagree with you politically, I disagree with you politically because you are stupid and immoral.

So if a stupid and immoral person supported a politician you like you'd stop liking that politician? Your logic is pretty flawed here.
You speak as though people pick the politicians they support out of a hat. Stupid, I can deal with. If a lot of immoral people supported a politician I liked, however, I'd have to at least wonder what they did to earn that support.
If I liked a politician and then I found out a bunch of Nazis supported him (...for instance) I'd at least look at why. Maybe nothing and they've just convinced themselves this person is on their side, like with Taylor Swift? These are stupid people after all. But you'd at least take a look.
You mentioned Libertarians, and if I supported them I'd wonder why they attract so much support from people who are extremely interested in the age of consent. Like, maybe that tells you something about how Libertarian policies might play out if they were ever introduced into the real world?

He disagrees with you politically because he recognizes your political views as being stupid and immoral, much like yourself. I don't see how this can be so difficult for you to understand.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I don't see how it is difficult for either of you to understand.
"I disagree with you politically because you are stupid and immoral."
This statement is indicating his political views are being formed based around me being stupid and immoral. Do you really think Steely has not yet formed political opinions prior to interacting with me? Do you think he would vote Libertarian in American if he did not find me stupid and immoral? Seems rather unlikely. Hell maybe the world does revolve around me and people base their opinions based on my views but that seems rather silly.
No, it's pretty clear he's saying that the reason he disagrees with your views is that your views are too stupid and immoral for him to agree with, and it is implied that you hold those views because you are stupid and immoral. The fact that you don't understand this—and your clumsy attempts to apply a cargo-cult understanding of logic to informal communication—only bolsters his claim wrt stupidity.

How did this get to be about Amerikkka when it's about Britttain declaring independence?
