Child abuse? To make fun of a dumb kid? No, that's not abuse. Fuck you.

Thanks for the maga perspective.

Thanks for the maga perspective.

She was a 17 year old girl 17 years ago, she's now in her mid 30s. She's a big girl now. She was hardly a "kid" back then.

Your humanity shines thru.

Someone taught you what a strawman is and you're haven't learned to us it properly yet.

When someone projects onto their opponent bullshit, tells them how they think, and how they feel, it is a type of straw-man argument.

They build a false arguments and characterizations of their opponents, and then feel they have won when they attack that, rather than what they are actually saying/writing.



You have written nothing but bullshit and lies about me.

Sorry.

You lose.

. . but then? You always do.

Agreed.

Thanks for the maga perspective.

It isn't a "maga," perspective, it is an anti-authoritarian perspective. Folks in favor of government authoritarianism need a servile population of children. Not critical thinkers with self-confidence. First, this bullying is a symptom of the infantilization. And then? Demanding that folks not take responsibility and own their own behavior, (both Vance AND Caitlin Upton,) is further proof of cultural and intellectual coddling.

The "woke mind virus," is the worst outgrowth of this garbage.

". . . Democratic policymaking requires debate, demands compromise and involves critical thinking. It entails considering different viewpoints, anticipating the future, and composing thoughtful legislation.

What’s a fast, easy and simple alternative to this political process? It’s not difficult to imagine an infantile society being attracted to authoritarian rule.

Unfortunately, our social institutions and technological devices seem to erode hallmarks of maturity: patience, empathy, solidarity, humility and commitment to a project greater than oneself. . . . "

Communist democrat gaslighting?????? You're even dumber than you seem.

There is no communism, idiot. Communism ended in 1989.

How would you know? Or should I ask if you are referring to Russian Communism? Or all communism. Or do you distinguish between communism and marxism

I think calling todays people childish is poor descriptive.

Children can exhibit great intelligence and the ability to learn.

Low IQ, low intelligence is the right thing to state
