So we agree that we have no idea. If so, then I can have my theory, and you can have yours, and neither of us knows which is right, and then you can stop trying to assert mine is wrong and I will just put my theory out there and you can put yours out there.

I don't know if your unnecessary backhanded attacks help your argument, or just make you sound really cool. Can't make up my mind on that one! Why don't you tell me what you googled and maybe throw in a few quips about how unreasonable and nonsensical my responses are and then I'm sure the discussion will resolve itself in a constructive way.

Because it is?

Not the same kind of attack, it's weak. You hear anyone except lemmy people pointing out the stochastic terrorism? Or even pointing out that it's racist? All Harris said is, it's sad.. It's either defense (they aren't eating cats), or weak attacks

‘A crying shame’: Harris rips Trump's remarks about Springfield

"It's got to stop"

Such attack! Very powerful

I'm in favor of Trump taking a plea deal where he drops out and stays or if politics

Or they may like the little tickle of racism,or any number of other explanations... The point is we are in a bubble and have no freaking idea what they actually think, so plausible statements aren't that heavy of a lift. They may do as you say as well, but your may is no lighter of a lift

It "seems" you are wrong. I think they should go on the attack, and do that.

Who is defending? Not them, they are doubling down. Everyone else is calling the mayor and asking for a statement, or doing some vox pop with Haitians on the ground.

Nobody is talking about anything right now except the memes around cats and dogs. You and I, we agree it's racist, but independents may buy this hook without thinking it's racist. We agree that everything coming out of his mouth is lies and garbage, but independents are much more neutral and are willing to give him, the former president, the benefit of the doubt. They probably are thinking, wow, things have gotten bad in Springfield, instead of haha what a crazy old man who lost the debate. They aren't thinking about swift because this cat thing has completely flooded the zone. This is what Trump did all for years

The topic does not matter.

The assertion at hand does not matter.

Whether anyone believes the assertion does not matter.

The only thing that matters is: Are you playing offense or defense?

Cuz attacking looks like winning. And explaining looks like losing.

Swift, the crazy cat lady, gives endorsement, distract with crazy cat news. This is a distraction, Trump does this
