Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

Unfortunately, when dealing with trolls like this, you feed them. It's like the child who acts up in order to get attention. Even if you punish them, they are still getting what they want.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The left does not shy away from Trump-like personalities, they embrace them. (See. AOC, Michael Avenatti)
By arguing with her about "groups" you feed into her actual goal, which is distracting from that original point. Whether right, wrong, or just "showing her being a troll" she meets the goal of distraction. We are now talking about "groups" and not the Left's embracing of Trump-like personalities.

It's like the story my Dad told about the folks in Scotland during WWII --- a buddy of his had been serving in the Army there, and when my Dad arrived, his buddy told him "I bet you can't ask a simple question and get a direct answer from one of the locals.
My Dad had an envelope to mail in his hand, and they were across the street from the Post Office, so he figured it was a slam dunk.
He approached a Scot standing right there in front of the Post Office, and asked, "do you know where I can find the Post Office?". The Scot responded, "Is it a stamp ye be buying?"
