    I'm sorry, but the whole "own the libs" culture that has developed on the right flies right in the face of this claim. I think it is more of an aspirational goal than a reality. And I think you can see it even in this post, where you are qualifying the amount of love you have for people based on their political positions. If somebody you love more attacks me, are you going to side with me? I doubt it.

    LOL. Someone's feelings got hurt. Suck it up buttercup. No one on earth was as wrong as you were on covid. Congrats, no one will ever beat your futility.

    You use "we," a lot. You're only speaking for yourself, though. The Dems and Pubs aren't exactly floating along on a cloud of tolerance and love right now. I doubt many are feeling any bipartisan love at this time.

    Until Desantis is the nominee, then you guys will be giving it to him with both barrels. I have been getting insulted by lefties since the Regan years, and it has never changed. The venom has always come fast and hard from the left and Trump is the first guy who returned fire with the same venom. I don't prefer the venom, but you have to fight fire with fire. Regan, like both Bush's was just a punching bag in the end.

    I just know you can't play defense all day and win. You have to eventually go on offense to score points.
    Politically speaking of course.

    Indeed, you being so wrong seems to have upset you, thus, why you are following me around the board to insult me on issues that I am not discussing with you.

    And yeah, I'll let my Covid takes (which are based on actual published scientific research) be judged by people who realize that Covid is a disease. Is that you yet?

    Its possible to "go on offense" without being a troll.

    How about if it is Trump? Did you step in when he attacked the City of Baltimore because they voted for somebody that he didn't like? Or the City of Atlanta for the same reason? A lot of people, some of whom even politically agree with you in both cities, did absolutely nothing to deserve being attacked. How about when he told people to go back to their countries when they were born here? Or boosted the notion that Obama wasn't born here because he didn't like him? You claim it is "going on the offensive," but what policy goals did any of these attacks advance?

    It definitely is. What about the original troll of, "It's the economy, stupid!" Remember that one from Clinton to elder Bush? So both sides do it.

    How about when Obama eulogized the slain police officers in Dallas and called the whole department racist? How about that one?

    My point here is that politicians are not the best of us. I am not going to defend everything Trump does because I don't agree with everything he does, nor should I expect you to do the same with Obama.

    Shit I am so far off point I forgot why I even came into this forum. LOL sorry

    No I don't. Because James Carville said that right?

    And its not even close to the same thing as the childish tweets and derogatory nicknames and calling everyone "losers" like Trump does non-stop. Again its just a bullshit false equivalence to try and equate anything Clinton did to Trump when it comes to trolling. You have no idea, as a republican, what it is like to be genuinely trolled by an American president. And I hope you never have to experience it.

    OK Last one and I have to go.

    This is the ever escalating you started it and it just gets progressively worse scenario.

    Analogy is someone plays a joke on someone else and it is a little embarrassing, so there is retaliation which is a little worse, the re-retaliation which ratchets it up a little more, until both parties are over the line and neither can agree who is at fault.

    Anyway I have to go for now, but this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. You guys are way cooler than my conservative friends said you were. ;)

    He did no such thing. Here is his speech. Can you find the quote where he called the whole of DPD racist?

    Remarks by the President at Memorial Service for Fallen Dallas Police Officers

    At its core, it is easy to point fingers at "politicians." It is far harder, but far more accurate in democratic republics, to point fingers at ourselves. Trump isn't just a bad guy. He is a reflection of the desires of a substantial proportion of the country.

    Several of the ones you are debating with are bots or DNC operatives (or both). They are not true Gators here just to chew the cud about politics. You’ll notice the reflexive, perfectly typed posts with a series of links within minutes of your reply. Obviously a human cannot research, read through and link 5 separate articles in a span of 4 minutes. If you call them out on it, you’ll notice how they go into spin mode immediately.

    Lol, they must be bots because they can type/spell and look up articles to support their points is an interesting take.

    Within 7 minutes, you read through his post, researched an article to link, and crafted a detailed split response including said link. This is a bot.
