    I don’t think you did. I got your meaning even before you explained everything nicely. It seems more like this topic has attracted attention of the people using “political” in the twisted sense you describe.

      I don’t think so, actually. I think they are sincere left-wingers who love nothing more than being hostile to enemies, and once they think they’ve found one, they really don’t want to let go of that classification because being self-righteous about the enemies being bad is a really fun thing. Sometimes they even have to invent new categories of enemies (“he doesn’t want vegan cat food LET’S FUCK HIM UP”) because there is a shortage and that lets them engage in what they like to do, but if they find an actual Republican or something? Boy howdy can they get going.

      Honestly, I do see how it doesn’t require some crazy misunderstanding to read what I originally wrote as being pro-Trump. I expected people to see the context and interpret it accordingly, as you did, but apparently not. The sarcasm part was easy to miss, I do think, I guess, if you’re not already looking for it or something.

      Whatever. I fixed it to be definitely clear now, my part is done, I wash my hands of it lol.

        No, it’s because you are totally wrong about the definition of political. You made it up and spammed a wall of text.
