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:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Conservatives dont care about facts or truth. They use words for feelings. That's it. Salt of the earth. The common clay. You know. Morons.

I'll never get tired of the South trying to act like they're real Americans

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago

Lol good luck getting them to accept the concept of "per capita"

All seven people living in Arkansas take offense

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Six. One of them murdered another.

I've seen these arguments on Twitter, and they just move the goal posts to total murders. Or blanks continuing x current crimes, etc. You can't win with them, because they don't care about accuracy or facts. They care about stirring the pot and creating chaos.

Hypocrisy is a tool of the GQP.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Still, you need to call it out.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Oh, for sure. Gotta at least show passersby that these folks are insane, and the real numbers.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah they ignore the entire concept of "per capita" because it is inconvenient for them.

Maybe California shouldn't have so many people

If those ~~children~~voters could read, they'd be very upset.

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, but at least you'll get raped and murdered in an orderly fashion.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

Good ol' American style, not sloppy West Coast.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the one who actually looks as dumb as she is, right? And the one that Kim Jong Un was into?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

She looks like she deserves to.

Which is to say she's a cone of fat with a lazy eye.

Damn. I assumed she'd basically vanished from politics after her first time under Trump.

That being said though, I suppose her home did burn down a few years ago. Did they finish rebuilding Notre-Dame yet?

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Damn, sick burn

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago

I mean, assuming rape and murder rates are independent, you're only fractionally more likely to be raped and murdered in Arkansas.

All this dunking pretends numbers have anything to do with fascists assaulting innocent protesters.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Don’t forget that Conservatives love to pull regulations or stop them before they get going so companies can do a lot more shit without having to answer for any of it; it’s anyone’s guess what they’re up to!

So much for “order”.

I really wish there was even one source included so I could have a better launching point for data I actually care about and want to understand.

Politics isn't just a gotcha game, despite how it is playing out lately.
