Do progressives WANT an instance of racism to exist so they can feel justified in virtue signalling?

@AgapeLove Wish I could believe that, but it happens every single time. It gets old arguing over something you didn't say, or this or that word that was taken out of context to begin with. It's like she wants to pick apart the minutia, even false minutia, to avoid the real issue. It's just not worth the effort anymore.

@Sicarium @AgapeLove My comments are usually in a form of a question. I do this purposefully as not to seem like I’m attacking an opinion. I do have my own opinions but I mostly like to get clarification.

What I never do is criticize a person for their opinions whether I agree with them or not.

@AgapeLove No. Using the specific phrase "so [thus=a priori assumption/conclusion] what you're saying is..." is putting words/ideas in the mouths/heads of others. It's also known as a fallacy of false attribution.

If you do not understand what I'm saying, ask me. Do not presume you know, as by using any form of "so you.."

@AgapeLove Okay. Sounds fair on both issues. 😊

@MrBrownstone Ah hah! Does that mean Climate Change is a hoax? 😝

@Mistakesmakeus Yes, it did. Excluding illegal crossing and human trafficking from your numbers to push a narrative doesn't make those crimes suddenly disappear.

@Sicarium illegal crossing can cover a broad spectrum. Keep in mind that overstaying your Visa counts as an illegal crossing right? Oh and look. If trump said that this wall is necessary don't you think he would've took measures to accomplish this? Like.. I don't know.. trying to get the money back when the Republicans ran the show? The Senate? The house? Complete and total control? And he decided that after he was losing so much, after losing the Mexico deal to pay for the wall, and after he lost control of everything, as well as the Russian scandal growing larger, that he wanted a last desperate push to actually complete one of his campaign promises? He had TWO years and now decides to act that this is an absolute emergency?

And? El Paso is a border city. We're not talking about visa overstays here. Not sure why you're trying to deflect.

[quote]trying to get the money back when the Republicans ran the show? The Senate? The house? [/quote]

He did. That's why he was negotiating over DACA as early as 2017.

[quote]Complete and total control?[/quote]

False. Republicans didn't have a 60 seat majority in the Senate. Democrats could, and did, block plenty.

What?

[quote]as well as the Russian scandal growing larger[/quote]

I'm sorry, but if you want me to take you seriously, don't rely on discredited conspiracy theories. Even the NYT admitted there was zero evidence of collusion.

[quote]actually complete one of his campaign promises?[/quote]

He's fulfilled campaign promises at a higher rate than any other modern President. Even CNN was lamenting this a few months ago. You either have a short memory or you're being less than honest.

[quote]He had TWO years and now decides to act that this is an absolute emergency?[/quote]

Two years of not being able to fix a problem doesn't make that problem magically go away. You leftist keep using this talking point without realizing you're actually bolstering Trump's argument. If Dems had been willing to negotiate, we wouldn't be here. You just want obstruction.


That's a lot of misinformation in one comment. Congrats, I guess.

And drop the condescension shit, act like an adult.

@DonaldTrumpet Is that Omarosa?
