The trick is to keep your comments vague enough that you can respond to any criticism with "that's not what I'm saying, learn to read". Notice that at no point do they explain what they actually mean, though. Only that all criticism of their point, whatever that might be, is wrong.
Naw, the trick is to twist a basic comment into a three paragraph rant, include tons of "facts" that aren't there, and then try to rage bait others into your made up "argument".
Even better when the original person does explain what they meant and others don't bother to read it, but fully engage in the rage bait.
If the text you quoted (requoted below because you seem to have a strained relationship with truth) is what you call rage bait, I can't help but wonder what your take on actual rage bait might be.
You seem to have an issue with linear time. Your edit explaining your stance came a few minutes after my comment pointing out the suspicious lack of details. I'd love an explanation about how I was supposed to know your future edit was coming.
We all know what you're doing.
You said the "leaders that Americans elected". In response to a statement that not all Americans are responsible.
So you're either disingenuous or genuinely stupid.
Again, putting words in my mouth. If thats what helps you feel better about yourself, thats fine.
Though, to help clarify my comment that you want to falsify into something that i didnt actually say, I'm just pointing out that some Americans aren't completely faultless of Trump as he couldn't have gotten into the White House without enough voting him in. That's it.
As to going forward, which side should do what, and everything else, I didn't say nor imply anything, thats just what you're projecting onto me.
