Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Perhaps, but I'm sold on the fact that he's just that stupid. I have a coworker that is a NY Trumper that seriously believed what they were told by the admin about tariffs: that the businesses overseas should pay those, not consumers. I really believe Trump thought that. He's a cave man.
(Apologies to all the cave man homies out there.)
That's a fair point. I do favor the hypothesis that he's only successful as a scam artist, making him effectively a ouija-board planchette controlled by his entourage who are all controlled by billionaires, think tanks, and foreign states.
I think half of america thinks its impossible to be worth millions/billions of dollars and be completely stupid. We are surrounded by absurdly rich imbeciles.
