I started a new strategy last night. Anyone who has interacted with the Looney Left had encountered these people who I have come to realize remind me of nothing more than the big mouths some of you will recall from your 5th grade lunch table: the kid who had all the answers, who would not listen, and usually who was ACTUALLY the most ignorant one there. That was WHY they were so aggressively opinionated: feeling like they had the answers granted them confidence and a self esteem which would otherwise have escaped them.
You see these obnoxious bullies everywhere, triumphantly sounding their self important horns.
Here are some questions I am going to start asking them. These questions will fail completely with most of them but this is the sort of thing needed if we are ever going to build—or rebuild, depending in how you view the past—a sane society.
Do you think I love my dog less than you?
Do you think I love my children less than you?
Do you REALLY think that your side is 100% right and mine 100% wrong? Does that not remind you of anything in history?
Trump has not started any new wars. Obama started or greatly furthered nasty wars in Syria, Yemen and Libya. He also briefly supported the take-over of Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood, before the Egyptians rebelled and pushed them out.
Is it not good that Trump added nothing and bad that Obama created million of refugees and hundreds of thousands of murdered civilians, many in nasty ways, like crucifixion or dismemberment?
Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo have talked four nations which have been officially at war with Israel since 1948 into accepting them and signing treaties of peace and recognition. Is this not wonderful? Trump was nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Ultimately what is needed is a sort of meta-discussion where the question is asked directly: “is this really who you want to be? Is this really how you envision positive and productive dialogue? Do you really want to claim such a thing is impossible when I am asking you reasonable questions?
