On just the broad question of 'Is Trump a racist," I promise that you and I are, at minimum, at 98% agreement. And you're actually here arguing with a me over a single incident where I think there's cause to question what he was actually saying.

And this is why people hate the Left - because they're rather go to the mat with their allies over the dumbest shit, winning worthless battles at the expense of the larger war.

No, those people hate the left because they disagree with what we believe in on a fundamental level. You just hate this experience because I'm trying to stick by what I think is a really, really important point. This is not the dumbest shit. This is seeing what is plain as day.

It's not at all an important point. If Ford had never been a Nazi sympathizer, Trump would still have shown he was a racist countless times over. But it's not enough for you that we agree on that much.

You don't think the president of the united states knowingly and openly sprouting nazi sympathizing links is an important point?

Not when it's probably the 100th time he's done it, and not when the difference between him having done it or not in this specific instance would change nothing about the general proposition, for which the die has long since been cast.

So now you're saying this is the 100th time he's done it? Then why did you come into this being surprised he would? See this is why we have to stop this cyclical shifting-sands conversation. You're constantly moving the goal posts. I'm done.

Here's what's sad about this - you might actually believe that I haven't been wholly consistent in my position on this from the jump. From your perspective, this whole exchange was an exercise in trying to find some hidden meaning behind my plainly spoken viewpoint.

And since you never bothered to take my opinion at face value, when I reiterated it for the fourth time, instead of recognizing the consistency, you compared it to the misapprehension you had conjured in your own head, and decided I had "moved the goalposts."

Having said that, we should end here, having demonstrated how impossible conversation is when one side refuses to act in good faith. Take care.

It's not about good faith. I don't think I'm wrong. You refuse to engage in a conversation where my thoughts can't find some quasi-intellectual middle ground where I admit maybe I'm wrong about trumps intentions. I refuse to do that for all the reasons stated. This is absurd. Bye
