Deflecting. There is no good reason for wasting time on Twitter, so instead of admitting it, you ridicule me by saying I'm too stupid to "understand it." I think that's an Alinsky tactic. If so -- well, nice to know I'm debating issues with an Alinsky disciple.
Swine like the mud and have no use for pearls, or put another way, if the facts and arguments you are offering were recognizable to Trump supporters they would not be Trump supporters.
Your facts and logic are not factual or logical to Trump supporters. Even the stuff we all watch with our own eyes. They won't and can't see it the way we see it. Just as you and I won't and can't see from their perspective. I think this is because I'm right and they are stupid, insulting, and condescending. And they think I'm wrong, stupid, insulting, and condescending because I refuse to see it their way. This makes it hard to honestly debate the issues of the day.
Last week I watched President Trump, only days into an impeachment investigation for secretly soliciting a foreign government to dig up dirt on his political foe, publicly soliciting
two foreign governments to dig up dirt on his political foe on TV. Sen. Rubio saw Trump making a joke. He said Trump was trolling the press (who fell for it again.) Congressman Jim Jordan saw President Trump courageously rooting out Ukrainian corruption as he has a Constitutional right and duty to do.
It's very hard for me to see that POV when I don't want to, and I don't like it.
Ridicule has a long political history that precedes Alinsky.
@sneakypete ridicules because it is one of his strongest skills and it is very easy for him. It is much easier than explaining his thoughts to someone who he believes, perhaps justifiably, doesn't want to hear his opinion or believe it, and will only disregard it and maybe call him Alinsky like. I don't want to put words into his mouth, but I think this is what he is trying to say.
@Applewood you are much better at the thoughtful, well crafted, logical arguments. Why sweat
@sneakypete 's insult "dumb it down?" Today Pete replied to one of my posts with a comment about my mom's penis. Change your attitude if you want a dialogue with
@sneakypete . Right now, he doesn't want to hear your opinion or believe it, and will he will only disregard it and call you worse than Alinski like. Or you could find someone else to argue with.
