Excellent.
It’s just alarming to hear Trump announce that he’s a Nationalist, isn’t it!

Which is worse, a shooting by a bernie supporter where three people were wounded and nobody died but the shooter, or:

A conservative gun nut opening fire on a Democrat congresswoman’s constituent meeting, killing six and wounding 13 more?

and

a troglodyte wrapped in the confederate flag murdering 9 people in their house of worship - an act he insisted during his sentencing he did not regret?

and

A trump worshipper driving his car into a crowd, killing one and injuring several more?

and

A MAGA loon shooting us his high school, killing 15 children and 2 teachers?

and

Trump fanatics bombing a mosque, and likely at least one abortion clinic?

and

other trump fanatics planning to bomb a mosque, confessing that trump’s rhetoric is what radicalized them when they were miraculously apprehended before they could carry out their plans?

and

“Pro life” lunatics bombing dozens of abortion clinics and shooting several abortion providers (and a few bystanders, in some cases)?

and

A guy who idolized trump gunning down six people in a mosque?

and

An anti-Semite murdering eleven Jews in a synagogue during a bris, specifically citing a conspiracy theory promoted by the right and amplified by trump as his motivation (and trump continuing to repeat the same conspiracy theory in the days after the shooting?)

and

A shooter whose threatening letters repeated phrases like trump’s trademark “fake news” killing five people in a newsroom (and trump getting back to calling the press “the enemy of the people” inside of a week)?


Did you want me to keep going? I feel like the point has been made but I could keep going if you want.

You "feel" that, huh? That's ok. I'm not the one who thinks "they all look alike" is based on a phenomenal experience. It's racist af.

oooh, that was a sharp subject change! you could have just stfu when you realized you had put your foot in your mouth, but no, you had to go and embarrass yourself further by bringing up something that 1 is completely unrelated and 2 you are also wrong about.

They All Look the Same: Why we are Unable to Distinguish Faces of Other Races (and Sometimes Our Own)

There’s a troubling psychological phenomenon that just about everyone has experienced but few will admit to; having difficulty distinguishing between people of different racial groups.

This isn’t merely a nod to the denigrating expression “they all look the same.” Indeed, the “cross-race effect” is one of the most well replicated findings in psychological research and can lead to embarrassment, social castigation, or the disturbingly common occurrence of eye-witness misidentifications.

One would literally have to be a moron - or someone blinded by ideology, to equate - the trouble society has with cross racial identification and someone that you like saying they all look alike .

This post of yours isn’t even coherent so I really don’t know how to respond.

As far as deflection, that’s pretty rich of you to say to me as we discuss this matter you dragged from a thread that isn’t even slightly related to this one to deflect from the fact that you couldn’t respond to my previous comment because you’re unable to admit you were wrong.
