I believe the operative phrase is "not quite comprehending the meaning of words".
This, except that these same people delight in changing the meanings of words to suit their purposes, then enforcing the new meanings with an iron fist.
What's that line from Alice in Wonderland? Words mean exactly what I want them to mean?
"This blog has been mercifully political troll-free for as long as I can remember (Hal was a bit different). Best not to encourage our new friend, there are more than enough other sites for that."
Dissenting opinion = trolling.
That sounds mighty familiar. Apologies for intruding into your safe space, guys.
Nothing says, “This was a perfectly normal election, and now it’s time to come together as a united nation,” like having your swearing-in behind 12-foot-high razor wire surrounded by 25,000 troops whose loyalty you doubt. That’s what we witnessed at President Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday: a grim testament to the fundamental insecurity and fragility of the re-ascendant liberal elite.
Apologies for posting that rampant example of a Solanum Tuberosum, realising too late that I might have offended David's esteemed bar guests with wanton pictures of a normally hidden tuber.
The replies to that bit of fact illustrate the mindlessness of the Left and their followers. Regardless of who actually acts like a dictator, only Trump was, because they say so. Never mind they can't come up with any facts to back up the assertion. If Biden acts like a dictator, or the lefties in power right now act like one, who cares - they are on The Right Side of History, they are Doing the Correct Things, and sometimes eggs need to be broken to make omelettes. For 4 years they tried to overturn an election they didn't like and then they want everyone to shut up and bow down when the results are in their favor.
NOBODY who had any serious knowledge of violence would have looked at the events of January 6, 2021 and deduced that was an attempted coup attempt.

So then Rafer wandered into this thread thinking that the title was actually a challenge, like the rules of a game? That makes SO MUCH more sense!
Well done, Rafer! I apologize for not recognizing the game sooner.

"we toppled a dictator"
In my experience, elections (and fraudulent ones at that) are used to install dictators … not topple them.

"dissenting opinion", "safe space"
Strawman already? Well, I didn't think you'd last long.

Why do I get feeling that the only "dic-tater" that was toppled actually resembled the following potato:
