I listened to the author get interviewed and address points in the book. Took time to ask you about it, you blew it off because I didn’t buy the book. More effort than you’ve put in answering my questions. Not wasting my time. Are you the author perhaps?

Look ma, no questions!

And you’re the one who brought up Desantis and the SC and asked about the pattern. Then you said I didn’t know what authoritarianism was, while giving a very weak example of it. That’s what happened.

I got it now. Instead of asking questions and discussing, you just want to lob insults. No thanks.

That’s exactly what you do, yes.

You think that between Trump, Desantis and the SC (the things you brought up), that’s the example of authoritarianism I’d use? Oh shit, another question.

So asking questions is rude. I can see where the way I do it may be construed that way if taken out of context. If we’re debating whether there was voter fraud or something, are we all supposed to just say what we think, or is it ok to ask questions and challenge each other, or defend our...

I’m opposed to authoritarianism. That’s the pattern.

And to what am I in “steadfast in opposition”? You sure you’ve never heard me criticize Biden? What else am I thinking, since you know me so well?

Can you show an example of what you accuse me of? Any quotes? Can you show me an example of where you changed your mind? Where anyone here did? I’m probably the only guy here who actually changed parties (and credits this place for it), and you’re shitting on me for thinking I’m always...

I’d like to remind you that in the cave days I was a hard-right Bush apologist here. I credit guys like Nave and ibleedburgandy here for helping me see a different perspective. I’m happy to admit when I’m wrong. Just because YOU haven’t convinced me doesn’t mean I’m always right. Asking...

Thanks. To be fair, I admit there’s been moments where I lost my cool, but it’s been with a few select people, some of whom I’ve managed to repair the relationship.

Ok. Glad we cleared up what my problem is.

I’ve never been anything but polite to you until you got condescending with me. Even then, I was very specific about what I took issue with. You responded with a bunch of vague generalities about your facts vs mine. Sorry I tried.

I’ve gone out of my way to be respectful, logical, cite sources if possible, make careful claims and ask a lot of specific questions. For you to make a statement like “I don’t seem to want to investigate” isn’t just wrong, it’s low-effort. It’s also low-effort to make these sweeping...
