You really didn't though.
I did, not just how you wanted me to. As such, saying I didn't is a gross misrepresentation.
You answered with a bunch of spastic side tangents. You bolded a spastic side tangent.
Utter nonsense. All that was directly on point, but you can't address it and so call it "spastic side tangents", which is very divisive language. It really speaks volumes of you.
There's really no need to repeat the spastic side tangents again. Just answering the original question would be appreciated.
There you go again, using "divisive language". Sorry, that you can't address those points is very telling.
Here it is again: Is it very specifically about who he intends to feel included when he says "we" or "our country", or
are you disagreeing with the wider point that there's a systematic belligerent "us vs. them" divisiveness in his vernacular?
You've answer the first part of the question a couple times over; you clearly believe he intends everyone to feel included when he says "our country".
The part to focus on here - and it's actually just a yes or no question, so a simple yes or no would be
ideal - is that I'm asking if you see the rampant "us vs. them" divisiveness in his vernacular. The best place to assess this would be his tweets, since he posts them himself. They are his words, things he chooses to retweet - straight from his fingers to the American audience. No "Fake News Media" to intervene (or blame).
What I'm
not asking for:
- Your opinion of the media's opinion of him.
- Your opinion of my opinion of him.
- Your opinion of why I have the opinion I do.
- If you'd please blather extensively about how everyone else but you - and those who believe exactly what you do - have cognitive blindness which prevents them from seeing the obvious actual truth (which you clearly have a direct line to).
What I
am asking for:
- Your opinion of whether the messages he tweets are laden with "us vs. them" divisiveness.
I'm going to post examples of tweets from this past week, hopefully to make things as clear as possible. (Which will take a few moments because I have to do it from a different device).
I'd be interested to hear if you can honestly say you do not see any "us vs. them" divisiveness in them.
eta: I'm having trouble posting screen shots of his tweets, so I'll just have to leave it at asking if you can see the "us vs. them" in his tweets.
"Blather" lol. This is fascinating. Such "divisive" language......
So in this thread, you made a ridiculous over the top point, which I called you on. When you wanted to discuss the topic with me, I tested your ability to see reality, and you failed, completely. And now you are
dictating my answers to you, completely ignoring everything out there.
You once again confirmed you really didn't want an answer. You want
confirmation. Interesting.
"Divisive" means tending to cause division. "Oh, no, Trump is advocating for his positions, and I might need to consider points I disagree with!!!!"
Once again, the "us" for Trump is the USA as a whole, including his vernacular. He excludes no citizens from his "us", not even those citizens he disagrees with. Trump aggressively pushes his points, like many in politics do. He also pushes back hard at those who try to confront him publicly. If that is what you are looking at, what of it? Really?
This isn't new. It is partisan politics since there was politics, going back to ancient Greece and Rome. Partisanship is politics 101. He is not uniquely "divisive" and Trump is "divisive" only in the sense that he doesn't submit to the will of his opponents and advocates for his positions, whether his opponents agree or not.
But, hey, Republicans used to play like the Washington Generals and let their opponents attack them without response, like Mitt. But they were not "divisive ", right? Except they all were still called Nazis....
But Trump was a Democrat until not long ago, so he does have a style more typical of Democrats.....
