So you are saying that he is a changed man from the time he did this . to the time he slept with the porn star when his current wife was 6 months pregnant with their child? Think not...
1. "So you are saying that he is a changed man...?"
I never said any such thing.
But I did explain, very specifically, and factually, how a PARTICULAR STATEMENT you brought up has nothing to do with the OP...which is what we're actually discussing.
If Trump said something 13 years ago, before he was president, and he has since apologized for saying it, admitting it was wrong, then he isn't condoning that statement or opinion, he is doing the OPPOSITE of condoning and perpetuating it by admitting it was wrong.
THAT PARTICULAR STATEMENT is what you brought up, and THAT PARTICULAR STATEMENT is what I addressed.
- I didn't defend the statement, or defend Trump.
- I did however show that this particular statement has nothing to do with the OP, which is what you alleged.
I simply showed, factually, that THAT PARTICULAR STATEMENT has absolutely nothing to do with the moral decline of churches in America, a process which had been underway for at least 100 years before Trump ever came to office.
- You can't just blame everything in the universe on Trump because you dislike him... it makes you sound ridiculous.
- You can't just blame me for saying things I never said... that also makes you sound ridiculous.
The Point:
A. I showed, clearly, that this statement from 13 years ago, which you brought up, has nothing to do with the OP.
B. Instead of agreeing with facts and logic, which easily verify this... you simply changed the subject, and brought up something else you dislike about Trump.
C. We can go on like this all day, showing each particular problem with Trump, and then addressing each particular problem to show it probably has nothing to do with the OP... but that would be to derail the thread, and MISS THE ENTIRE POINT. The OP isn't about TRUMP, it's about systemic problems that have been around for at least 100 years.
The left is REALLY fixated on Trump to the point of just sheer lunacy.
2. My whole point is that the OPENING POST was NOT political... but because you dislike Trump so much, you just randomly DECIDED to INJECT him into this topic, and turn this thread into a POLITICAL PROTEST.
We get it.
We get it that you dislike Trump.
That's perfectly fine.
But this thread wasn't about him, and it really had nothing to do with politics at all.
The OP was addressing social, cultural, and spiritual problems that have been ongoing for at least 100 years, and maybe longer.
Injecting Trump into everything possible just makes you sound ridiculous.
3. Here is how conversations go in America, in 2018.
* Person A. "There is some kind of problem in society, it's a problem of (insert any problem here)."
* Person B. "TRUMP DID IT!"
That is a ridiculous argument, and I hear it a thousand times a day... and it's not just tiring, it's silly, and it's logically impossible.
It's logically impossible for ONE MAN to have caused EVERY PROBLEM IN AMERICA in ONLY 2 YEARS.
Conclusion:
1. Trump has nothing to do with the OP... these are systemic problems that began at least 100 years ago.
2. Maybe Trump is helping, maybe he's hurting... but he's only been in office 2 years, and it's simply irrational to make him the FOCAL POINT, and the CAUSE, of problems that have been underway for over a century.
3. It's also irrational to accuse me of things I never said, and accuse me of defending someone I never defended - I very clearly did nothing more than address the issues you raised and showed they have nothing to do with this OP. Furthermore, there's no reason to be all upset with me, because I never kicked your dog, or ate your cookies, or made it rain, or did whatever it is you're so upset about.
4. If I ever meet you in person, I WILL EAT YOUR COOKIES, so then we'll finally have something FACTUAL to discuss, instead of all these imaginary offenses.
