   I’m reminded of 1979, when Carter had solar panels installed at the White House. Then Reagan had them dismantled. That is what we are up against. Arrogant ignorance. And when they get authority they tend to abuse it. Then deny the abuse and blame Democrats.

   ask your wife how she would feel if some man stuck his stubby finger into her against her will, penetrating her. Ask her if that would feel like rape.

   and you don’t want there to be a pattern, so you refuse to see it. Look up “cognitive dissonance.”

   Here’s some unsolicited advice for you: argue with your wife less and listen to her more. That will likely improve your marriage and your political analysis.

   A pattern of human behavior does not have to adhere to the rigors of a mathematical theorem to be valid.

   Your condescending manner seemed to start right off with your comment to Hickory and then was followed by calling people humorless and saying they probably shouldn’t read the comics. It went on from there. I find you disrespectful and unnecessarily aggressive. Perhaps you find me to be the same. We apparently rub each other the wrong way. Let’s leave it at that. Have a good night.

   you should preach your idea of the other side not being the enemy to Republican leaders. Trump has called the new senator from my state the “enemy within” and that perhaps he’d send the military after such enemies. The vast majority of Republicans voted for that along with all the rest of his vileness. He’s a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. As a Republican you should take care of the plank in the eye of your party and its members before complaining about the splinters others have.

   I do mostly paint Republicans with the same brush based on my observations over decades, and the recent fact that the majority of them want Trump.

   I agree that there is lots of hatred in the country right now, but that doesn’t answer my question as to what propaganda I’ve swallowed. It has to be something that is a lie that I believe because it’s what has been fed to me via media or advertising or some other delivery method. I’ll give you an example. It is a lie that the 2020 election was stolen, yet many still believe it.

   you are right that I am judgmental. Something I should work on. You might also consider your own judgmental nature. You are condescending when someone disagrees with you. In doing so, you are judgmental, judging someone as not deserving respect. Judgment always comes before the decision to be condescending.

   McCain was a reasonable and courageous man, also ethical by refusing to participate in the birther-type smears against Barack Obama. He gets lots of credit for his military service and for saving the Affordable Care Act that Trump will now probably end.

   Romney is obviously an intelligent man. I’m sure him and I disagree on the wisdom of considering corporations to be people and money to be speech, but as an executive he had experience and success running large organizations so even though I didn’t vote for him I have no doubt he could have handled the complexities of being president.

   But just because a particular candidate has no glaring deficiencies the party needs to hide that doesn’t mean there is no pattern of behavior such as I described above when the candidate does have some glaring deficiencies they need to hide.

   The pattern still stands. Ever hear of the exceptions proving the rule?
