        Which conservatives would likely in turn point out as being hypocritical, since Democrats used to literally lynch black people up until the Civil Rights era.

        At some point you gotta realize that 95% of politics is literally just the “Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man” meme.

            Cool, I’ll check “appeal to mockery” off mine, and I’ll get read to check “appeal to common opinion” as well because I just have a feeling that’s what’s coming next.
