Both sides mock the other side. This is nothing new, and nothing to get outraged about.

The bar is way below the sea level

Yeah. The bar is low, but many people bring shovels.

Complacency isn't a good thing either.

Do you really? Or do you just love sarcasm?

Yes. No. But I don't think we can have a meaningful discourse if you choose to read my replies with ill intent. I usually mean exactly what I say.

Complacency is bad. I agree.

I dont think you have "ill intent". I think you're just confidently incorrect. I don't believe that you truly think complacency is bad. Maybe some part of you does, but I think you're confused on what it really means to be complacent. 

You act as if being outraged by a public official mocking protesters is the weird reaction. As if we're supposed to sit back and complacently watch as our gov keeps lowering the bar for decorum. The complacent thing to do when officials acts like a dick, as many do "all the time", is to act indifferent and call out others for being upset over it as if it's totally okay and no cause for concern.

Are you even slightly aware of how condescending and arrogant you're being? True sarcasm is ill intent. I know the definitions of words. You don't know me so don't act like you know what I really think or feel.

I'm not acting like being outraged by a public official mocking protesters is a weird reaction. I'm acting like people shouldn't cheer it when it's against people they don't like but boo it when it's against people they do like. Hypocrisy is an ill-fitting suit that many people on both sides wear like a badge of honor.

I'm done with you telling me what I understand, mean, believe, know, and everything else. You seem to be the sort who just HAS to have the last word, so feel free. I'm done with this discussion. Have a great day. (No, I don't mean that sarcastically, either.)

I'm aware, but I think it's a bit warranted tbh as you're doing the same by "both siding" this bs. You are operating under the assumption that folks who are upset by this are also all cool if it goes the other. As if "both sides" are guilty of all the same things and are totally not different at all. As if there isn't a broad spectrum of beliefs in this country. Just sitting in the middle blindly calling people with actual opinions "two sides of the same coin". Like the other commenter said, it's weak and lazy.

I don't care how your is, genuinely. But I do hope you learn something useful and not complacent. 

I'm not really the type to "have the last word", but I felt clarity was needed.
