The problem with playing the fool. Anyone can read me saying:

Here’s my claim: when Liberals are given the choice between giving power to the left or giving power to facists[sic], or even shooting fascists. They choose to give power to the fascists. For evidence I presented an example from recent history.

And

When pushed you not only told me why they gave the gun to the Fascists [the election], but that they should give the gun to the Fascists. [it would be the end of democracy if they didn't, fascists are famously democratic]

The rest is distraction from those two key points, that you not only do not disagree with the meme [hard sentence to parse, I could have communicated it better, but ChatGPT got it though and that's an acceptable floor to me] but embody it. The first step to solving a problem is identifying it.

My point was clear and stated many times. You could have read that if you wanted.

I have no idea. Was there a point being argued?

For once something we agree on. Can we just leave it at that? A positive note of agreement between us? For my own part, I'm happily quoting this nonsense at the start of the thread. Here's the culmination of your position:

What's a metaphor

And

I have no idea. Was there a point being argued?

Well you must admit it was highly effective.

Again, what was?

What was the moment, do you think, that it went so wrong for you?

Was it the beginning when you were waxing lyrical about Liberalism being for freedom? Was it when you saw the reality of Liberals handing your freedom away to Fascists? Was it when you said that Liberals should hand your freedom away to fascists?

Notice that you can't blame Leftists, they never held the gun, and the Liberals wouldn't give it to them.

Something sparked this delirium: pretending not to know what a metaphor is, pretending to not know what happened. This couldn't have been where you thought the conversation was going to go. What was it, do you think?
