Trump supporters want women's right to vote removed

@nemomen

That was a simple observation that no one has disagreed with here

No, the initial response was someone disagreeing with it and blatantly saying I was wrong, then offering up extremely weak attempts to prove it.

@nemomen

You also said you didn’t see any tweets of people using it supportively. Others (and later I) pointed out cases of it being used supportively.

Yeah, I know there were supporting tweets, I talked about them.

@nemomen

You’ve misdescribed a correct and objectively true description as massive exaggeration

No, as I already explained I’ve been talking about the phenomenon as a whole the entire time. You seem to be talking about the BB article specifically, which in fact I never referenced directly.

@nemomen

you dropped the classic concern-trolley argument

Why does everything that you and others here find disagreeable have to be part of some kind covert “trolley” tactic? driving trollies implies deliberately trying to provoke anger in people, which frankly I never even expected as a result of just stating provable observations (which you even agreed with, so I still don’t know why you’re arguing.) There’s your “concern trolley” accusation, the “sea lioning” accusation (which I didn’t even know the meaning of until I googled it), the implication that I must be a Trump supporter, a misogynist… All just for stating observations that were later echoed by blatantly anti-Trump external publications. I see similar, but far more basic, accusations on sites like Infowars, where any “outsider” who comes along and challenges their nonsense is instantly labelled a “shill” or “paid trolley”. I guess it’s a symptom of tribalistic thinking. The one and only reason I decided to talk about this topic here is because this was the first story I encountered about it.

@nemomen

. You’ve misdescribed a correct and objectively true description as massive exaggeration, and been effectively telling us to stop talking about this topic far more than you’ve been arguing with people about your original topic that nobody disagreed with you about.

Again, yes people did disagree. That was exactly the argument I was initially having.

@nemomen

It’s the part where you’re effectively telling other people they’re exaggerating when they aren’t and telling them to shut up that isn’t going over well.

Again, as already stated, I was talking about the phenomenon itself and not the words of people commenting here. You keep hammering on this point that I’ve already told you I wasn’t even talking about. And I was not telling anyone to shut up.

@nemomen

And for what?

I could ask you and others the same question. If it’s a “minor sideshow” then why the relentless attempts to argue about something that you even sort of agreed with. After a while, the topic itself almost becomes a sideline and watching the dynamics of tribalistic group-think is actually more interesting.
