It’s definitely the second paragraph that I disagree with after rereading your initial comment. Never agree with a sociopath, doesn’t matter if they are factually correct, it normalizes their other batshit insane behavior. My life was almost destroyed by a sociopath that made international news for a week and even saying they might be right makes their other lies feel less bad. So the downvotes are justified just for that one sentence even if you go on to sort of disagree with it.
We all have different standards. You have the standard never to agree with a sociopath. I have the standard that the truth is the only foothold from which to make an honest argument.
However, I was clearly not agreeing with Trump in any way that he’d think I was agreeing with him. It’s an old rhetorical tactic. A: “You’re treating me unfairly!” B: “I agree, if I were being fair, I’d have treated you much worse.” You agree with their words, but not their meaning.
Just trying to help dude.
