I love how every response to calling out the tribal shit slinging hyperbolic strawman is "okay so what do they believe" completely missing thr point and side stepping it just to do more tribal shit slinging.
How is it tribal to know what you stand for or what you think someone stands for?
Because it's obvious what the user asking for this wants is to know if the other commenter thinks differently, they wants a reason to attack them and belittle them. That is all that's been happening in this thread.
I want to know what they think. I want to see how they view what the Republicans and Democrats are doing. I can easily say what I think they are doing and how they are not the same, so I want to know what makes them think they are the same.
This is exactly the problem. When you say that you want to ask these questions just to find out what 'the other side' thinks, you are treating the conversation as if the other person is a member of 'the other side' and can speak for their viewpoints. There can be people who disagree with you that aren't far-right religious extremists.
Yea, so I want to know what they think.
So yes? Everyone you engage with is a right-wing troll?
