There is a tic

I see with Liberal, arguing, that I don't see with Conservatives.  Maybe I am wrong and it is everywhere, I am prepared to be shown that.  But I only see it from the left, so far.

If something of contention rolls up in a 'discussion' and someone goes, "So you are saying..." that is a Lib, and they are about to lie and strawman all over you.

Jordan Peterson found this out in England with Cathy Newman, but it isn't restricted to that TV interview.  It is a deployed all over Twitter.

And it is annoying.  It's also has big enough holes to drive a rhetorical truck through.

"I have a firearm to protect my kids"

"So you are saying you want to slaughter all children?"

See?  That sort.

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
