Mock, deride and ridicule FTW!!!

I was once at a backyard barbecue at a friend's house. One of their neighbors was opining about some leftist talking point and looked at me when she finished with a "gotcha" smirk on her face. I smiled, and very condescendingly said, "that's adorable!"

It went over exactly as you'd imagine. I use that line whenever I can.

The purpose of a thing is what it does. If a given political party holding power consistently results in more communism and a swarm of immigrants and alphabets raping kids, that is the purpose of that political party. It doesn't matter what it claims or what excuses it makes, its purpose is objectively observable. Anyone who supports it either wants that as a primary goal, or is indifferent to it as an acceptable side effect.

If that party raises sugar tariffs by 1%, I can see why someone opposed to tariffs in general might argue it's a tolerable compromise of little consequence. If the party is enslaving people through communism and raping kids all over the place...the "tolerable compromise" argument becomes completely implausible. They're not choosing a lesser evil or unaware of some obscure bad thing that happened once. They want communism and groomer gangs.

better luck next time then I guess
