    You’re making false assumptions about what people’s voting habits say about what they want, drawing absurd conclusions as a result, and then doubling down on your false assumptions even when real people tell you what they want why they vote the way they do. Here’s a clue for you: other people know their own beliefs and motivations a hell of a lot better than you do. It’s supremely arrogant for you to think otherwise.

      I wish you could say that to most of the people replying to me assuming I’m a trump supporter, lol.

        You might not be a Trump supporter, but your actions support Trump. That’s not really debatable.

          Right. I’m either with you, or against you.

            Literally yes, in the voting system that the US has. This isn’t some ideological hill I’m dying on, this is basic statistics and understanding of elections.

          Tribalists can, and will, believe whatever they want.

          It would be foolish of me to change myself to please them.
