You fail to note that I did not specifically argue that you or Ohio were anything. All of the things the two of you passed on are essentially found in the public media, mostly in Republican/conservative rhetoric, therefore nothing truly new for either of you.
And I spoke to the content of the items I quoted. It was easier to retain a "you" narrative than trying to reformat into an isolated comment on the content only. If you think that all of it was pointed at you because one or two of the quotes came from one of your posts, then get over yourself. There was nothing vague about the posts quoted or the response supplied.
"You" is easily anyone who thinks that nit-picking over rules, disparaging the "others" that might actually make it to the border to claim asylum (while the majority of true danger comes from angry white males and other second-or-beyond residents/citizens), and/or buying any of the bald-faced lies that spew forth from the well of the mouth of Trump, is more important than dealing with all of the facts and truth that is not convenient to the religion of American exceptionalism and every effort being made to make it more "exceptional."
The world sees that we are exceptional. Exceptionally stupid to place such an incompetent person in charge of the storehouse. Exceptionally blind to think vilifying the nature of poor civilians seeking a better life is evidence of our love for our neighbor.
And so on. That some churches — Like First Baptist Dallas — feel compelled to worship at the altar of a flag of red, white, and blue and sing religious songs about the country shows how lost the conservative right has become. I am proud to have a flag outside my house on many days. But I do not want one included as part of my worship to God. He is a jealous God and the flag is an idol in a house of worship.
It is so hard to understand how Bill Clinton could be so vilified when he as a professed Christian, and Baptist, at least tried to hide the shame of his failures of moral character while we praise an rally around someone who is openly worse — and proud of it — and herald him as our preferred leader over so many much more qualified candidates.
