So at this point, you're just a schmuck without even a barrel to wear. Trump has deceived you with promises of a whiter, male-dominated America and given you more debt, a trashed economy and buckets of money for the billionaires.
Do you really think it's OK for Trump to have made $1.7 billion while in office? Even you should be able to see that he's selling the office to the highest bidder. The Trump stablecoin alone is a perfect backdoor way to bribe Trump in return for favors and government contracts.
At this point, you have nothing left to stand or fight for. Your hero started a war we never had to fight and was completely unprepared for the trade disruptions that followed. He has no good military options to take and hold the straight, he has alienated our allies and he looks like a clown with all his deadlines and Truth Social babblings.
We are now suffering from higher inflation and will likely have to deal with it for some time. At the same time, Trump has helped slow our economy to a crawl. You're old enough to remember the stagflation of the mid-late 70s and how much that sucked. We got there through Trump's policy incompetence.
He's also gutted social services and subsidies for the ACA so now people are struggling and starving to pay for medical insurance.
Oh and look: Trump's still in the Epstein files. Have you enjoyed all those pics of a shirtless Trump with little girls? Maybe you really do like child rapists.
This guy is a senile, incompetent lying asshole. He makes Joe Biden on his sleepiest day look like Albert Einstein.
And all you have to say is "so?"
You should stop posting about politics. At this stage, you are pointless.

Ok, I had totally blanked on the statement that you started this last circle with. So I went back and retraced.

Who these fundamentalists are is quite clear. The Iranian Theocracy. Your deliberate conflation of my statement to mean every kind of fundamentalists under the sun really confused me and I stopped thinking about what I actually said.
I then replied ...

You threw me a head fake and I bit forgetting my own context.

The context of my original remark which you misrepresented stands. It was about Trump's threat to blow the Iranians to kingdom come, literally, that had everyone in a tizzy. It was a negotiating tactic that finally worked and got the attention of the IRGC or who ever is in charge of Iran and got us to this so called cease fire which ain't working too good.
You baited me with your deliberate misinterpretation of my original statement and I took the bait hook, line and sinker and set me up for a purity test. I have to be so careful to take the arguments that you throw at me literally because all that you are playing for is a gotcha and sometimes I get lost in the sauce. Like this time.
You win.
So why don't you tell me which fundamentalist supporters of your political leaders that you personally support that you have disavowed. Or is your support of your leaders a blank check as you accuse me of the same ?
.
Or not. This whole exchange with you has been a complete waste of my time since it was disingenuous on your part from the beginning.
I will have to be more careful with you going forward, that is if I even bother to consider anything that you direct at me to be sincere and honest on your part to begin with.
Fool me once, shame on you ...
Later, much.
Not sure I can capture everything out of your dog's breakfast of words, but anyway.
You said these fundamentalists without specifying which fundamentalists you were talking about. I think there is a grammatical term for this type of general "these". The Iranian clergy? Iranian people who are fundamentalists but don't want to get bombed into oblivion? Fundamentalists of any religion?
So then you asked if you were missing something I might be inferring so I clarified for you that *I* was referring to all fundamentalists (actually all fundamentalism, see previous posts). I stand by that. All fundamentalism is inherently bad, not only because it is bullshit to think that something some person wrote down or had revealed to them is the literal truth, but because it means a basic unwillingness to accept other religions.
But you have amply clarified what I expected, that you are happy to accept the many attacks on others by trump's fundamentalist supporters, when that suits his/your purpose and are happy to attack other fundamentalists when it suits your purpose.
This "negotiating tactic" destabilised the world, achieved nothing for the US and set the economy back in ways it probably will take decades to recover from.
It was just reported, by Donald Trump, that he personally designed, built, and piloted the Integrity spacecraft. He also served as the head of the Navy rescue team which caused a monumental quantum moment as he opened the door to the spacecraft and shook hands with himself. He will then return to the aircraft carrier to resume his duties as captain.
