    Once Biden stepped aside and endorsed Harris, Trump’s entire campaign strategy was upended, making him the oldest candidate on the campaign trail and exposing faults in his logic.

    Wtf, “exposing faults in his logic”? Why do the media continue to do everything they can to portray Trump as a reasonable man making logical plans for how best to govern?

        I’ve looked and I can’t find any evidence to support this, can you?

            Why not? It’s not unreasonable to ask for evidence or am I supposed to just take your word for it?

              Because this is common knowledge and you can google the information for yourself. You’re attempting to interject doubt into the conversation using a dog whistle.

                  Concern trolling is the most annoying troll, too. “I’m just asking questions” and circle arguments over and over.

                    As a transwoman, I’m VERY familiar with concern trolling. Used to see “trans allies” everywhere on Reddit back in the day pulling up with the

                    “I dunno, I support transpepole, but maybe see a therapist instead of getting on all those hormones?” (Who the hell did they think was prescribing the hormones?)

                    “I’m all for you being gay, but doncha think you’re taking it a bit too far?” (Lesbian Transpeople exist and they knew that)

                    “Don’t you think you’re being a bit dismissive of real, oh sorry, I mean biological women? You’re moving a bit too fast!” (TERFs still use this one… though they don’t pretend they’re “totally allies” though)

                    I heard it all, many MANY times…

                That’s not a dog whistle, a dog whistle is a phrase or word that has a special meaning to group its intended to been received by. I.e. something that will only be noticed and picked up by them.

                  That’s where the concern trolling comes in. The troll is the concern part, the dog whistle is what is behind it.

                I don’t know if OP is a republican but I find their response strange, almost like they got caught chatting shit.

                As far as I can tell comicsands.com is associated with George Takei which seems to refute their assertion that it’s some far right publication.

                  I wouldn’t assume they’re a republican, just that they assumed you were sealioning when you weren’t.

                So the concept that if you state something as a fact you should be able to prove it, that’s just not something we do here?

                  So if we were having a discussion about WW2, and I mentioned the Holocaust, you would make me prove to you that it’s real before continuing the conversation?

                  Or… Is it something that has been thoroughly researched, with a general consensus among experts about the specifics so therefore doesn’t need to be proven every time it’s mentioned?

                    Of course not. I was asking OP to back up their statement that www.comicsands.com is some kind of QAnon organization. How is that unreasonable?

            Your assertion is that www.comicsands.com has “RepubliQan owners”?

            I’ve looked and I can’t find any evidence to support that and the fact that George Takei is involved in it suggests you’re wrong.

            Also, I don’t see how asking for evidence to back up an unsupported assertion is “sealioning”. Are you sure that’s the term you wanted to use?

              No, that’s just your bullshit strawman argument.

              The claim was that “the media” (as in, most of it in general) has Republican owners, not comicsands.com specifically.

                  I see, I think.

                  Floof mentioned the media.

                  So the republican comment could’ve been media. Wasn’t 110% clear but that’s prolly how I might read it.

      A combination of “The owner of the company is a right winger” and “We need to make both sides look equally incompetent, even when one side is shitting himself and the other side has actual policy.”

      Used to it was just the latter, now we also have the former.
