Yea, exactly, which is why I don't think we actually disagree "that" much. I'll use an analogy to explain in another way.
Yesterday I watched a lot of football. My wife was making dinner and realized I had to go to the store. Me, I'm like come on now the game starts in 30mins etc. She's like well you gotta go I'm cooking. So I said something like alright I'm gonna run like Barry Allen and be back. I went as fast as I could and got back before the game. Now in reality, did I run as fast as The Flash and return in a millisecond? Of course not. But I did return much faster than I would have if not speeding back for the game.
In Trump's "smoking gun dictator" comment, he made a comment about being a "dictator for 1 day" to Hannity. The media, mainstream media, ran with this to the moon. More proof that he's going to "make himself a dictator". If you look at the actual exchange, he's jokingly telling Hannity he won't be a dictator but will be one only for a day because he's gonna close the border and drill oil then he's not a dictator. It's a casual exchange between two friends that meant literally nothing, but, this exchange is still used to this day as proof that he's going to actually be a dictator when he takes over.
This is what I mean when I talk about nonsense. To me, this does MORE HARM than good, because it minimizes the things he actually does wrong or things he may ruin and replaces it with nonsense like this that makes it easier for his supporters to say he's being unfairly targeted. In the rage and dislike for Trump, things like this actually HELP HIM, which is the opposite of what should be happening.
@Islam Imamate for you too.
