    Yeah and now you’re having to go over your analogy and rexplain it when the point was that you can make analogies all day and it doesn’t mean anything. Now we’re both idiots having to explain ourselves. What productive discourse we’re having.

      i was actually borrowing malcolm x’s analogy:

      The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the Black man. Let me explain what I mean by the white liberal. In America there is no such thing as Democrat or Republican anymore. The surface differences which you think exist between those two parties - they have all integrated into the wolf and the fox. They do not belong to the same party. A wolf and a fox, in my eyesight, differ only in one thing: the wolf shows you his teeth before he bites you; the fox will smile at you and all the time he’s smiling, he’s moving in for the kill. You are safe from the wolf. He shows his teeth. But the fox - he looks friendly.

      extremely funny that it went completely over your head though

        Hey good for you, you can quote Malcom X. No idea why you’re trying to get me to vote Republican so hard though.

            it seems like the strategy is now to insult and shame people for practicing their democratic right to make their own opinions and also putting words into people’s mouths. The despair, its so sad to see.
