You’re a fan of the political party whose leader insults and mocks the pope. Literally insulting the person who is channeling the word of the Lord. Why do you support those that deeply insult Jesus?
This behavior does not lead to clever or constructive conversation. There are much better ways to get your point across.
It feels weird to have to write this but it seems warranted: A religious preference is something that extends beyond the limited time and space of a US political party.
nothing about it is deranged, a strawman, or a borderline personal attack though.
>GP never said he was against or in favor of the current US administration
they have, actually! i quote: "I personally like Trump as a president."
All definitions come from Google's AI summary, of course we can argue about those but I think they are pretty accurate.
deranged argument: a "deranged argument" refers to intensely illogical, paranoid, orpathological reasoning that often disrupts rational public discourse, characterized by extreme, often toxic, comparisons. It seems to me like that label is warranted, GP just wrote "I don't like that the game mocks Jesus" and got a somehow extreme response that I would definitely characterize as an "extreme, toxic comparison".
strawman: a dishonest debating tactic where someone misrepresents, exaggerates, or fabricates an opponent's argument to make it easier to attack. In this case, GP wrote "I don't like that the game mocks Jesus", whereas the discussion was turned by some people into "I like the Trump administration".
Criticizing someone because of their political and religious preferences (and nothing else) is as personal as you can get. Most laws against harassment around the world specifically point out this behavior.
YMMV, if you consider this to not be relevant, it's actually ... ok. We all have different points of view and even "logical" things might seem illogical to others and I mean this honestly and without snark. We don't have to agree, the best I (we) can do is to thoroughly explain our points of view.
Also don't insult our intelligence. It's pretty clear what side of the partisan line someone who says both - "I'm a free speech absolutist" citing Musk while in the same breath complaining someone is being mean to Jesus - is on.
Maybe you are simply projecting some guilt about your electoral choices. I can't come up with a better reason for your comment beyond empty moral posturing.
