Trump - a puzzling enigma

[vegetariantaxidermy]

Joe Biden is a terrible orator. He comes across as being barely able to read the teleprompter and is unconvincing in his delivery (not that that means much. Great orators don't have a good track record).

AOC is the future

I don't wanna live there

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now and you already live there. Get used to it or be unhappy for the rest of your life.

today, aoc is a dupe; tomorrow, she may be the status quo

and: me, happy as a pig in shit most of the time

and: no, I ain't got to get used to jack, jack

today, aoc is a dupe...

Has it crossed your mind that she might be a smart, successful woman that knows her own mind? How confident are you of your assessment, and what do you base it on?

and: no, I ain't got to get used to jack, jack

Well yeah. We're all in the same boat; no one gets everything they want, and respect to everyone who fights. But while you can do the King Cnut thing and try commanding the tide to ebb, the only way you can avoid exactly the fascist authoritarianism a minarchist cannot have any truck with, is to embrace diversity. As long as you make enemies, Henry Quirk, you will have enemies.

what do you base it on?

she's a commie, er a socialist


Henry Quirk, you will have enemies.

will?

Well, by your standards, so am I.

Henry Quirk, you will have enemies.

will?

As I said, respect to everyone who fights. Bit of a loaded term: I don't mean anyone who resorts to or even threatens violence against peaceful opposition, regardless of how heated that may be. What are your thoughts about the threats to Gretchen Whitmer? More generally, do you think right wing militias are a problem?

well, there are commies, and then there are commies


What are your thoughts about the threats to Gretchen Whitmer?

bone-headed move by reactionaries


do you think right wing militias are a problem?

no more or less than the militant leftists

not really, no

At first, I couldn’t imagine that there could be any militias who are leftist. Then I discovered that the US does have such a group, which started in San Quentin prison and now has 50 to 100 members.

I noticed that you compared right wing militias, I.e. organized militants, to independent militants on the left. I was trying to balance the comparison for you, but thank you instead for making that clearer.

So, false dichotomy. You were asked about militia and you answered about militants. Very subtle.
