    I’m not saying you’re wrong, but calling Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables” is probably not the best way to get some of the more moderate, more-likely-to-be-wooed voters away from him on election day.

      True. Gotta stop that too. Speaking from an emotional state gets you shorted in almost everything

      The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer. Treat them gently, they pretend their bullshit is normal and get worse. Call them out, they act offended and get worse.

      They’re just bastards. If moral violence is the only language they understand, we might as well be honest about it, to their face.
