And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

      It’s a stupid question. But that’s the reality. So genocide or worse genocide? If you say neither, it’s probably going to be worse genocide.

        What group of people could Democrats kill that would leave you unable to support either party? Clearly, it’s not Arabs.

          More people than the Republicans would. And then I would vote Republican. Because that’s the choice on election day.

            There’s absolutely no logical reason to believe that. Democrats have escalated war on three fronts with nuclear armed superpowers, and armed a genocide.

              There are the words straight out of Trump’s mouth. If you believe that Democrats will kill more people than Republicans, that’s a completely different conversation. Though it still mostly boils down to: genocide or worse genocide, pick one, and if you don’t pick, you’re likely to get worse genocide.

                    Recognize that it is a farcical, illegitimate charade. You know, the only logical conclusion when you’re told you’re not allowed to choose no genocide.

        Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

        A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

          People who think the trolley problem has a clear cut solution that we have to “get” are on the starting edge of the Dunning-Kruger curve.
