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.

“..and 1/3rd of Americans would cheer him on.” While another 1/6 would ignore it or try to blame it on the libs. The centrists would shrug and say “both sides…” The people on the left would be outraged, and Schumer would OK replacing the bloodstained carpet after a few weeks of ineffective negotiating.
This is more accurate. Don't forget the part about hundreds of members of congress waiting for the guns to be destroyed before buying up arms manufacturer stocks and voting to overturn the ban. I think that's how that would go.
