The problem with left wingers, including here on OPP, is that almost every one of them believes the end justifies the means, and makes their arguments accordingly. Kemmer wants to make a point?

None of them see anything wrong with pulling phrases completely out of context, or twisting the meaning of statements, or of pick-and-choosing what to believe based on their personal bias, or even going so far as to outright lying, if it helps achieve their goal or makes their point. In their minds their 'adversary', be it a Republican policy, or politician, or even someone on OPP, is so wrong that any means to 'defeat' them is moral and ethical and is wholly acceptable. ESPECIALLY if it is in any way about or related to TRUMP!
Reasonable people can look at a set of facts and come to different, even opposite, conclusions. This is because one person sees some facts as more important, while the person next to him sees other facts as having greater weight. Thus the phrase 'agree to disagree'.
The left does not do this. They pick out which facts they want to believe based on bias, then insist that all other facts be discarded, and anyone who disagrees must be ridiculed, reviled, and cancelled. And they think this is the correct and moral way to analyze any situation. The end justifies the means. This makes it difficult to reason with them, since all objectivity or honesty is thrown out the door.
Just food for thought, and my opinion.
