I just preemptively know the counterarguement would be "Trump's a troll" and was addressing it upfront. There's a common post used, helpfully seen in this J.K Rowling.
None of us are unique snowflakes. We all are on various sides of this line of thinking, depending on the topic.
You'll accuse us of moving goal posts on topic xyz, then you'll move goalposts to defend ABC. That's not an indictment of anyone's character on here; we all have different levels of acceptance and focus for different things.
I'm not a "frightened retard" about this anymore than I would call anyone talking about the numerous gun law in the 2A threads a "frightened retard". I'm concerned because of what's being said/directed, but if it is "just a Hoax" or Trump "being a troll" then I'll be happy to eat crow about being concerned over what became nothing.
