    If both political parties share the same terrible immigration policy, do you think it cancels out and isn’t worth discussing? This sort of thoughtlessness would explain democrats being so dismissive about genocide just because both political parties support it. What’s really “simian brained” is being fine with terrible policy because your political sports team is carrying it out.

      “Both sides” is not discussion or criticism, it’s a fallacy.

      I’m excising the fallacy.

      What team do you think I’m on exactly? I don’t think people should shit on Trump by calling him fat. I’m conservative. I don’t think Democrats are as bad as Republicans. I’m liberal. I think geopolitics is a hard game to play. I’m Kissinger.

      Or maybe I’m just someone who doesn’t do tribalism to the same degree? Maybe I’m a one man sports team?

        It’s a discussion and criticism of the policies of the current president and the two-party system. What’s your point? That you don’t like someone pointing out that republicans and democrats are the same on certain issues?
