I cannot stand irrationality. I don't care who you are, what you look like, all we have is logic and reasoning.

I am not going to give someone the benefit of the doubt. If it doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense.

It is irrational because it caused them to lose control of the government.

This is the tough love approach and will help them become stronger in the future.

I don't think you realise how rare it is to find any kind of spokesperson for these groups who can make a good argument and debate someone else without resorting to calling someone a racist, sexist, etc. and deeming them not worthy of speaking to. They will grow up during the Trump years.

The liberals only offer short-term comfort, that will hurt them in the long run.

You do realize that people are falling over backwards to be polite to you. People are listening to you because out of intellectual curiosity, because they want to better understand the delusions of the alt-right.

You sound like some sort of misguided 'red pill' type person who lives in a strange parallel phantasy world where privilege doesn't exist and where racism and sexism are just words used in 'name-calling'. Your patronizing 'tough love' argument is straight out of something like Uncle Tom's Cabin. You're hiding your overt sexism behind 'rationality'. You're denouncing the anger of the less privileged but are smug and unforgiving in considering their problems. You severely lack empathy. You are truly part of the problem.

I care more about the less privileged than you do. You satisfy your own selfish desires thinking its empathy.

You couldn't even make it through this comment without calling me sexist, and stating that you shouldn't have to listen to me, without making any arguments.

Thank you for your ignorance, you are only hurting yourself.

The key to rational thought is not just logic and reasoning, because both rely on axioms and information. You need to make sure you're getting the correct data and proceeding from sound foundations. Thats where the skepticism comes in -- double and triple check your sources.

I'm going to be straight here -- what are your sources?

I mean try not to take this too defensively, but you pegged Reagan as a political outsider when arguing for trump. You think an investigation is the same as a conviction. You think that political correctness is the substantive issue difference between HRC and Trump. None of these things are true. In fact, they are so obviously not true that I have to wonder about your rationality.
