19. I feel kind of like I opened and found myself staring down yet another rabbit hole.

My most frequent response is to ask my crazy neighbors to produce the bodies (children murdered by Democrats in their case), but a repellent force caused me to fly backwards.

ExWhoDoesntCare, this isn't really a post-truth world. Overstating and misstating a case so that it outrageously contradicted by reality (and misinterpreting in order to misuse a definition so that its creators would have to disagree) repels rational people. The usual response is to smile and nod and...leave the discussion.

Have a nice evening.
