A man once said to me, "Teach me the entire Torah while I am standing on one foot." With the builder's cubit in my hand, I pushed "Block"
Fair!

To be honest, while my love for Trumpianism doesn't exceed yours by much, I just ignored you this time... I'm a strict minimalist on Avodah Zarah expansion, I don't think the stupidest, most craven adoration of a human being that doesn't assume them to have independent supernatural powers is AZ.

Fans of various people and things have been known to disregard criticism and dig in when confronted with negativity. I get it. It's human to overlook flaws in that which you love.

The difference here is that this is organized. It's not biased reasoning - it's a conscious choice to reject the truth.
It's not about changing minds, it's about avoiding sacrilege. Because he's their idol.

This is literally the basis of my claim that MAGA is idolatry: They don't fear the truth. DT is above the truth to them. He is an idol, and the only thing they want to avoid is desecration of his name.
Look - and I'm being serious here - I don't get why they don't just release the files. He's survived everything else. Nobody is going to abandon him over this at long last, right? They can just find a way to explain themselves out of it. Why all this effort?!

There you go again, calling everyone who disagrees with you anti-semantic

Hey, you know those incessant news articles where they go to some Midwest diner to ask Tr*mp supporters what they think?

It's an aveira to read those! We are not supposed to inquire into idol worship!

In fact, it's prohibited to even look at Tr*mp. Turn away if you see his image!

This is halacha!

You understand what I am saying.

If you don't get why this is a scary opinion, it's because of the implications.

Do you know any MAGA Jews? No you don't! They are apostates. "Jews for Trump" are in the same category as "Jews for Jesus." Their kids are not mamzerim, but they are not part of the Jewish People.

14/ I love arguing, don't get me wrong. Even an argument that is not destined to endure because it is not for the sake of Heaven, is sometimes fun. But insults are not worth getting into a back-and-forth about.

If I have a real zinger, sometimes I'll use it. But if they respond, it's cubit time
211. Getting into a war of insults with an online stranger is not a good idea. Just block them.
