The "no" part is right. But the "because" part is way, way off. You don't succeed, Pix, because you (ironically) wave away anything you can't answer with "gaslighting" or "TDS" or "handwaving" or simply resort to personal attacks and name calling. Your ability to actually engage in a reasoned argument with points related to the actual discussion is, AFAICT, highly limited. I don't think you're stupid by any means - but I truly do not understand your need to descend to the lowest point in any conversation. If you could stay on topic and actually respond to the points made rather than waste all of your time on personal attacks and mind reading, you might actually have a shot of convincing. Until then...
I rest my case. When you attempt to read my mind, Pix, and you get it wrong. I'm going to tell you. If you don't want that to happen - just stop trying to read my mind, ask me what I think, and accept what I say as true. I don't usually lie to people about what I am thinking or why I am thinking it. Or you can just keep trying to read my mind and then responding with "gaslighting" when I point it out. Whatever you think is productive...
Wow - if THATmost evil person alive" (false - I never said that or implied it)
"you really do see Trump in the worse possible light" (false - I see/assess Trump by the same light I see and assess anyone else, and by the same metrics).
"the assumption that he is pure evil and must be stopped" (false - no one is "pure evil")
These are all superlatives, Pix. "Pure evil" means "100% evil."
As for the rest, I'll leave it to you. Most of what you've said about me is simply flat out wrong, but you seem to be mostly focused on the caricature you've created in your mind, and nothing appears to free you from it. Given that reality, I think I'll bow out. It makes no sense to continue to converse with someone who has already decided who/what I am and how I think/feel. You should have that conversation with the caricature.
If/when you actually respond to me, I'll be happy to respond back. But continually discussing with someone who isn't actually listening is, as you say, pointless. Until you begin to listen... be well.
