    You make it sound like there is no way to verify stuff he says. Like he was just in an interview saying he never said “Lock her up!” - that other people chanted it but he never said it. There are lots of videos of him saying it, so it’s a verifiable lie. Of course the media should be able to call him on it.

    Just because it doesn’t fit your narrative, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

      You are correct about the two duopoly apologetics.

      I should have made it more obvious I was talking about White Knight Syndrome, where ‘I’m not going to let you continue’ is used instead of pushing back with more information.

        If you are ever tempted to use the phrase “two duopoly apologetics” to make a point, you’ve already lost.

          That is true for you and maybe others that think and agree with your world views.

          Apologetics come in all forms, the duopoly has many!

            I’m making a point about vocabulary. You foolishly assumed I cared about the argument you were making, or shared any facet of my opinion on the subject at hand.

              foolishly

              I am okay with being seen as such, but I try to make it a point to learn from my mistakes, even when it may be harder than it looks, hahaha

              vocabulary

              Ah, you were focusing on semantics, now I understand!

              Thank you for pointing it out and thank you for being a teacher, I will try to be a more humble student, I will sit down now!
