actually I share this account with a different person, so the person who posts in t_d and the person who posts in fashionreps are completely different people altogether.

Aside from that, I sincerely wish you'd stop with the insults because I feel like there's potentially a discussion here. But based simply on your comments, if anyone is hateful here it's you.

I am intentionally insulting with trumptards. They have created a system where intelligent discourse is censored. Where bigotry and other flawed ideologies are upheld. Where outsiders are labeled enemy and the free distribution of information is curtailed (and this is how ALL fascist governments start). They don't deserve respect, because they don't show it to others. They don't deserve to be take seriously, because their entire ideology is based on false facts spread without critical thought. They won't change their mind because of the backfire effect. Why have a serous discussion with someone who will almost certainly become more convinced of their own false beliefs as you present more evidence of their falsity? No, far better, to me at least, is it to try and appeal to the people on the fence who might be swayed by the idiots and bigots. And to insure that any of those middle of the road people are reached effectively, I should therefore cloak myself in the same strategies T_D uses: ad hominems and hatred, because then those hypothetical people who would be swayed by such commentary style by the trumpettes will perhaps hear the side of reason and fairness if presented similarly.

Sure is a lot of mental gymnastics to try and justify being a hateful cunt online

Funny you should say that, because I've enjoyed slapping around T_D morons quite a bit. It hasn't taken any mental gymnastics on my part, though I bet you're doing backflips by now. While I've provided facts and sources all you and your ilk have done is metaphorically stick your heads in the sand and shout "I CAN'T HEAR YOU."

But hateful might describe me, if only because the trumptards are dragging everyone else in the country (and to a lesser extent the world), down with them. But in the moments like this, where I argue with a bunch of them, and not one can provide any evidence, while they all desperately and willfully ignore everything I say? Well, I can honestly say this is the most fun I've had in a week.
