Same comment to you Reed... do you really expect right-wing extremists to care about facts? They see Muslims as bad in general and thus a threat. Nothing rational about this. It's just their emotions talking. All they got poor snowflakes.

Interesting map Reed, but I wonder whether that's just a coincidence to be frank. I mean the ban is stupid and useless, it won't make anything safer for anyone given that violent attacks from immigrants from these countries is such a tiny drop in the bucket, but I think Trump and his ilk really think they can make things better that way. They are just severely mistaken and driven by ideology instead of facts!

It's too late for Trump supporters. I just got into this yesterday with a Trump supporter. He couldn't give me anything that Trump has done (it's all coming because Trump said it was coming), couldn't refute any of the facts I presented him, then started posting a bunch of demeaning memes about Democrats when he couldn't come up with any other answers. And here's the kicker. Some chick comes in and calls this guy her "hero" (her standard is obviously incredibly low for heroes) and she says the best argument I could give was leaving the conversation (clearly she chose not to read or fact check anything I was saying). It's pointless to try to help these people understand what Trump really is. They don't care. They want to believe they were right to vote for him so badly, that they will ignore any and all facts. They will believe the lies being told to them because it's better than being wrong or admitting they might have made a mistake.

I just hope they remember this when a Democrat becomes President again. No President has to produce their tax returns any longer. If a President colludes with Russia (or any other country) again, we should ignore it. Nobody should ever be able to call out a President for travel expenses or anything else they do wrong. The Trump supporters have set the precedence.

"I mean the ban is stupid and useless". Ah, I see. Because you said so. End of conversation, right?

Do you shills understand just how shallow and desperate you appear to the grownups here? That's not me insulting you - I really want to know. You can use the language of the conservative all you like, but everything else screams 'child of entitlement romping through the internet fantasyland'.

Ah well.

And another thing, sneering and insulting taken to paragraph length does not add depth, it just signals desperation. I know, I know - you want to hear your own echoes. Maybe enough of them, repeated until the end of your life? But not. Not here. You'd get better results shouting into Mom's basement.
