I didn't misinterpret them. Is it not true that over 40% of voters support Trump and that they are accusing Trump supporters of being fascist. Where do you expect those people to go if you think you'll just kick them out of the communities where they live?

You did misinterpret them. What kind of a community has a meeting to exclude folks for anti LGBT views? I tell you this, it wasn't a housing project or a city, certainly not a state, it was surely a support group or similar. Your reading comprehension cannot be this bad.

You're being disingenuous and inventing narratives. Why don't you go ahead and post permalinks to where you claim I misinterpreted them. They weren't taking about a small club. They were talking about kicking Trump supporters out of their communities.

They said:

You make it clear they’re not welcome in the community, by force if necessary, and you let them back in once they’ve shown they can be trusted to be a member of the community again. IF they show they’ve changed.

I’ve been on a committee of people making this decision more than once. Rarely do people change enough to be welcomed back. Community self policing is the only way to really protect yourself when the government shows they wont.

Again, what kind of a community has a meeting to exclude folks for anti LGBT views? I tell you this, it wasn’t a housing project or a city, certainly not a state, it was surely a support group or similar.

You posted your "where do you think they'll go if they're kicked out of where they live" straight under that quote. Like, directly under it. The previous time you read that as being kicked out of their state, again, directly underneath.

I don't know, maybe when you hear people criticise conservatives it makes you so mad that you don't read what they actually write. I find it hard to come up with other rational explanations for your statements.

Again, you're being disingenuous. I asked for you to permalink to my comments. People can then look at the context and see for themselves that you're a liar. The individual I responded to was clearly under the impression that all Trump supporters are fascist and should be removed from the communities from which they live and reside.

You're being disingenuous. I've pasted exactly what they wrote, twice, and it's only yesterday they said it. I've noticed that the moderators delayed some of your comments, but you and I know I'm not lying about your response. You're denying they said what they said because I didn't give you your precious hyperlink. Everyone can see you're not arguing in good faith.
