    Edit: I’d rather a guy that loves Trump, but is accepting in person and spends their time volunteering on the weekend, than a self-proclaimed leftist that spends their time criticizing everyone while not doing shit about anything, and using their politics to justify their stealing habit. The former can be reasoned with. The latter is just using leftism as an excuse.

      Preferring a theoretical instance of a person over a contrived (though admittedly occasionally real) example makes for a good soundbite, not necessarily a real option though.

      Or more succinctly, a literal trump loving person who is also accepting is a unicorn with some serious cognitive dissonance.

      A “radical” leftist who is also a shitty person is a real thing that can exist.

      Comparisons between real things and imaginary things, aren’t good comparisons.

      Edit : where did “stealing habit” come from I can’t find any reference anywhere else? Genuine question, I may have missed it.

        I guess he is talking about “handouts”.

        Norway taxes the oil industry in 78% so they can give “handouts” to their people…that miserable country of thieves…

        Radical leftism made Norway one of the worst countries in the world to live in.

        (/s…because it’s necessary.)
