I doubt Trump will be at the front of his rebellion, though...bone spurs and all that...

You first mistake was assuming I'm a leftist.

I guess no conservative or right-leaning person is allowed to disagree with Trump.

Whatever helps you sleep better at night. Besides, it's easier to group all the people you disagree with into a single category for someone who doesn't believe in nuance. It's a classic example of a false dichotomy.

Good day. ;)

"Nobody said anything even remotely like that. You don't merely "disagree" with Trump. You have, like all Leftists (including and especially those who pretend to not be Leftists, like yourself) have revealed your Leftist nature by extremist, extraordinary, hyperbolic, radical words and actions, like invoking "rebellion and insurrection" because Trump repeated someone else's opinion."

No one had to say it. You implied it. And you're right, I don't merely 'disagree' with Trump. I am fed up of his inflammatory and divisive rhetoric that seems to get his supporters super excited. Nothing about what I said was extremist, extraordinary, hyperbolic, or radical. I read his tweet and copy-and-pasted word-for-word, 18 U.S. Code 2383, even showing his tweet for those who needed explanation. He didn't just repeat someone else's opinion, he endorsed it, and it was opinion inciting rebellion. There is no way around that. If you think there is, you're beyond hope.

"Your reaction is the DEFINITION of hyperbolic*, reactionary, "as-extreme-as-extreme-gets", "words-begin-to-fail" extremism. That is what Leftists do. That is what makes you a Leftist. There's nothing measured in your meme. There's nothing level-headed in your meme. There's nothing reasonable in your meme."

You can say that all you want, but that doesn't make it true. It's not extremism, ESPECIALLY when you compare it to all the other ludicrous things that the President has tweeted. Endorsing a claim that he was like "The King of Israel" and "The Second Coming of God" comes to mind. I don't need to be hyperbolic or reactionary when Trump hands it to me on a silver platter.

"You're accusing the man of TREASON because of he shared someone else's ACCURATE opinion. There's no "incitement" to rebellion of insurrection there, and you don't have the first clue what "incitement" means."

Incitement: to provoke one of unlawful behavior. See? Simple. And I'm accusing him of treason because the stable genius decided it was a good idea to endorse a claim that his removal from office would cause something like a Civil War, which, as you can see in the Code, is treason.

"But no...you're not a Leftist...not at ALL."

Leftists don't tend to hold conservative ideals, my friend.

That is literally the opposite of how false equivalence works, but go off, I guess.

Didn't even bother to explain how "No True Scotsman" was falsely invoked. Funny...that...

And no. I'm not that petty. I'm not going to call the police because

A. I have no clue where you live and

B. You are not in a position of power, and your influence is approximately zero, so it would be pointless.

Actually, it is. I don't like Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, The Squad, Lemon, Fredo, Cooper, or Maddow any more than I like the President.

And, no I don't, save for impeachment.

No True Scotsman again.

idk man, once you direct me to the incident where they incited (or endorsed) a claim that one of them being removed from office would result in a Civil War (or something similar), maybe I'll make one.

Also, you're talking about defining characteristics, but I'm not, because you're assuming that the characteristics you speak of are defining. They aren't. To assume that they are would be begging the question.

"This isn't about "disagreement." This is about agitating for the removal from office...illegally...someone who, like it or not, was elected by the people of the United States of America."

He was not elected by the people, he lost 62 million to 65 million. He was elected by the Electoral College. And impeachment is not illegal, it is a check that is held by the legislative branch on the executive branch, in case it is necessary.

"You don't understand why you're a Leftist. You might even believe you're not. You certainly claim you're not. But it is the very nuance you don't understand that proves that you are."

Crazy, I don't understand why I'm something I'm not. Funny how that works. That is textbook begging the question, which is TOTALLY NOT a fallacy (wait, it is). The "nuance" you speak of is where conservatives can be centrist or even slightly liberal on some topics. It doesn't inherently make them leftist, just more moderate.

"Don't pretend. Don't hide. Own it. Be a man and own it. "I hate Trump. I want him removed from office by any means necessary, including bogus charges." Just embrace your Leftist ideology already."

Once again, begging the question. Congratulations, you have just composed the biggest pile of word salad in the history of word salad.
