I like how the guy who was elected because he says what he thinks always has to have his comments put into context. He didn’t literally mean that nobody knows what a magnet is (despite literally saying “nobody knows what a magnet is”), he meant something totally different!
I’m explaining what he means through the lens of his dementia. Aw, shit. Forgot I’m on lemmy where “explanation” = “agreement”, “explanation” = “condoning”.
How well did you do on those reading comprehension tests in school?
It’s a textual medium, and text is not a native medium for tone. Their response to you didn’t seem like they were arguing to me, just an unfortunate miscommunication.
I know you’ve got beef with the way the users here respond to you, but I’m starting to wonder if there’s an element of implicit tone mismatch to it.
I intend this to come off as respectful and well intentioned, if I’m missing something blame it on the lack of coffee at 7 am.

Probably better than you, considering you read a whole ton of shit that I didn’t write. When did I say you were condoning him??? I just said that it’s funny that the guy that conservatives say “speaks his mind” has to have every statement interpeteted nonliterally
