    What an odd take to have. Nobody asked about equivalence but here you are lubing up the Overton window anyway. Qualifying and accepting the smaller failures of democracy that make the big huge failures inevitable. Exactly how we got the current federal regime.

    And you don’t even live here. You live in a “deeply red state”. This is the blue Willamette Valley. Maybe there’s reason in political discourse as to why our two maps look so different in hue. Go justify and normalize your own local political failures if that’s the conversation you like to have.

      As much pleasure as I see you take with your vitriol, you may want to take a look at the community rules in the sidebar.

        I don’t take pleasure in diverting your frustrating complicity and there’s no rule against pointing out that your particular local politics do not equate to Oregon’s. Seems you at least respect my point as you’ve restricted your reply to ad hominem and false appeal to rules, so uh thanks for listening.

          You’ve got your own narrative of both me and our conversation that is entirely divorced from reality. You’re looking for enemies, and even if you don’t find them you are manufacturing them in others for your arguments. I’ve never attacked you, but that didn’t stop you from doing that to me. I can’t imagine this is the first time you’ve done this, so I can only imagine you’ve snap at hands offering you support elsewhere too. If in the days ahead you find yourself isolated. This may be why.

          Seems you at least respect my point as you’ve restricted your reply to ad hominem and false appeal to rules, so uh thanks for listening.

          Again, you see whatever fits your narrative.

          Good luck, I won’t be replying to anything else from you on this so feel free to frame your closing remarks to whatever your narrative requires.

            Our country is falling headfirst into fascism because we keep pretending that big things like this are little inconsequential things. You can have your ugly cry over my harsh criticism if you need to but sorry dude, I’m not just gonna let bad opinions like yours go uncontested because we’ve found that they’re ultimately lethal.
