Or you’d support kneecapping significant change that is so badly needed and you’d support the status quo that is causing so much damage to so many. That also qualifies.

Countercounterpoint: That wave clearly happened despite her, and could have been larger.

I’d kill for a good list like that along with his purported answers.

“Motherfucker, that’s what I just said to YOU! That’s not an answer!”
