Ah, my apologies. I figured the smug reply was better than the honest one, that it’s pathetic that people think Reddit’s ELI5 should be model for American political discourse. The world is complicated and sometimes that requires big scary words you didn’t learn in Sunday school. Better?

Political discourse and campaign rhetoric are two different things.

You... aren't suggesting that they aren't inextricably linked, right? A hypothetical campaign including "immigrants are eating cats and dogs" in their campaign rhetoric couldn't lead to a broader discourse of "Are immigrants eat cats and dogs" in your mind? Huh.

Seems like you’re going through something unrelated to our conversation. Best of luck.

Oh we really are running through the classics. How fun! I wonder what’s next?
