The left/liberals always have to provide evidence and the right knows this and constantly force them to give more and more facts, always asking for more. Liberals feel compelled to comply. This is a trap set by right wingers to stifle meaningful discussion because you will be constantly on the defense.
Yet the right/conservatives are not bound by this and get away with baseless lies and it is useless to ask for evidence, you will either get nothing or false facts.
Wait wait wait, let's not increase the scope of this conversation to include all politics. Look at this objectively.
If I posted a photo of one person in the middle of NYC and captioned it with "only 1 person alive in all of NYC" would you not propose what I am?
You guys seem to immediately fall into this "itS thE rIgHt nOt tHe lEft" bullshit and throw everything into a binary thought. First off, question fucking everything. Think for yourself. View each peice of information objectively. Think critically.
Y'all are getting mad at me for thinking with reason and not falling into the blind hate of the enemy...
CamelCase’ing nonsense none said here, using ya’ll to point at ‘the left’, do your own research tropes.
Oh, I’m using my critical thought, you just don’t like what is being said and pointed out.
I stand by my post on forcing ‘the left’ to keep digging. Keep asking for more. Keep semi-engaging while you have no outcome other then dwindling the points made into nothingness.
I will not engage with you anymore after this post as I will not be lured into a deceitful trap.
I suggest you find some republican or trump supporter (but I repeat myself) and try to have a civil and meaningful discussion where you challenge their views on politics where you ask for evidence, repeatedly. I fear that discussion will be solo though. Good luck.
Lol so because one person was mean to you, you're justified in being mean to somebody else. Got it.
I'm sorry I'm not rabidly foaming at the mouth for information that fits my narrative.
You really should seek out people who don't see things exactly your way and learn how to undo whatever damage* you've done to yourself.
Good day sir.
