You are literally debating the meaning of the word "serious". Your argument is that when trump said he was "serious", he was joking. You are also arguing that it wasn't serious, yet you define serious as "joking". So explain to me why I should take you seriously.
When I'm joking, and recognize what I've said could be taken the wrong way, the first thing I do is say "seriously", so that it is understood that I've been speaking in jest. He just continued to denigrate the intrusive liberal dolts in the audience . . . can't blame him for that! He wasn't really calling for violence at all . . . but you won't know that until you actually view / listen to the footage.
You're making his head hurt, Tough. Stop now and let him suck an icecube and play with Crayola's. Maybe cotton candy and a dinner lovingly carried down the basement steps by grandma. She told him your hat is crooked and pull up your pants.
It does explain a lot about how so-called conservative republicans became so mentally unstable. They simply do not understand the meanings of words. To more precise, they change the meanings of words to suit their bias. Seriously, that's fucked up. There is debate among us liberals as to whether so-called conservative republicans are insane or not. Again, I say not, but... if you literally change the meanings of words to suit your bias, that means you actually believe your own bullshit, and that is insanity on some level. It's still derived from a false belief, a belief where actual fact has no function in the fantasy, as with many religious beliefs, so in that sense it's an accepted form of insanity, one that has a function within society. However, since the belief is one that harms society, and the practitioners of the belief cannot see that as fact, it's better to leave them out of government, for their beliefs do not allow facts to sway their judgements. So thanks. I've been meaning to quantify the level of insanity present in so-called conservative republican minds for some time now, and I believe you've provided a significant piece to the puzzle, so-to-speak. Seriously, thanks for the insane argument, it's been enlightening. That said, I have no further use for conversing with people who cannot see fact and change the meanings of words to suit their bias. That type of conversation is literally pointless now, except for amusement purposes.... sort of like watching monkeys throw shit at each other...only a fool steps too close to their cage. With that in mind, "ta-ta." Feel free to change the meaning of that to suit your bias, little ones.
I knew the pea-brain would turn tail and run sooner or later, indefensible as his position was . . . .
