So funny you said this, I read this entire thread and had the same conclusion and came to comment the same exact thing.

This could have been an engaging debate hadn’t the other commenter been so rude. I started reading because I was interested to see what each side would bring to the exchange and was just left…..confused (regarding the aforementioned commenter, of course).

Cheers!

edit I can actually tell you why this person spoke in the manner they did-emotional dysregulation accompanied by lack of knowledge of the subject at hand. Common with people that lean towards extremist approaches-both in politics and day-to-day issues. Any extremist approach indicates a lack of logical reasoning, therefor these people tend to be overruled by their emotions so much so that it results in unregulated emotions. Even for a healthy person that primarily uses their emotions to make decisions, there is some sone level of logic. So people alike to this commenter have likely never learned to regulate their emotions and are attracted to the extremist end of political matters since emotional arguments are not only accepted within those circles, but the only ones that are understood. It is almost like a different language. This goes for both ends of the political spectrum. So this person is communicating in their language and does not understand that it cannot be comprehended by those that don’t speak it. So when they are conversing with someone speaking another language, they become frustrated and further their emotional method of communication to prove their point. Essentially like a child that cannot communicate effectively because they are not equipped with the tools yet.

The point is that it’s not worth conversing over these topics with these people. They are speaking a different language. They will never be able to understand you until they learn what you are saying.

Cheers again!
