This really makes little sense. You claim that your purpose here is to understand your opposition’s point of view and reasons for it, and also claim that that’s “not allowed.” When it is pointed out that you should probably be looking in other places than the pit for more nuanced discussion, you say that you don’t have time for it. But, you seem to have plenty of time to tell lies and cast false aspersions right here and now. Maybe I should not take you seriously, and to understand that when you make a claim, they I should not take it at face value, as it is pretty obvious that you are a liar. ---

I honestly tried to figure out what your reasons for supporting Trump were by looking through some of your recent posts, and I don’t really get a sense of anything other than the fact that you’re - wait for it - **triggered**. ---

That is even sadder when one realizes that Williams took his life because he realized his cognitive abilities were the ones that were truly going down thanks to his real condition. ---

Q supporters are having a totally normal one.
