HitlerPig

I have to ask, are you literally a child?

It’s weird that there is so much focus on a single word

I guarantee you that American leftists are not going to like the idea of being thrown in jail for treason because they don't consider the constitution "sacrosanct".

HitlerPig is the name that the younger staffers in the Biden White House called him. I find it simultaneously insulting, humorous, and accurate. HitlerPig loves to give insulting names to others, so he should be happy to have one of his own. I dont need your permission or approval to use it, and i will continue to alternate between HitlerPig and Agent Krasnov, the designation he was given by his Soviet KGB handlers when they turned him during his visit to Moscow in 1987.

Again with obsession with the word "Left." In America, it only means "Not Right." It does not have the levels of nuance that it has in Europe and other places.

In America, even "The Left" holds our Constitution sacrosanct, because it is intended to protect their interests as much as those they oppose. The Constitution is the reason any sort of opposing political philosophy or lifestyle is allowed to exist, and even extremists of both sides understand this on a fundamental level. The difference is the Right wants to limit the Constitution protection for anyone but themselves, while the Left is willing to allow it to protect all viewpoints.

"The Left" you describe, those who would oppose even the Constitution, are not "The Left," they are anarchists, they are a very tiny sliver of American society. Anarchy is more of a European concept than an American one. It is very rarely discussed, or even mentioned in America. It effectively does not exist here.

So you are literally a child then?

No, but with your insistence on this stupid point of discussion, apparently you are.

The Conservative Propaganda Machine uses insults routinely to dehumanize their opponents, and I am simply fighting fire with fire. Thats not childish, its strategic.

Grow up Junior, we're at War, name-calling isn't the problem.

Yeah, definitely a child
