    LOL - I doubt you harbored any such fears.

    And I’m super impressed at your deflection skills. I’m curious whether you Actually think trump hasn’t done the things I pointed out that he did or if you just don’t think they are a big deal. Of course I dont actually expect an answer since you never give one. You always give what you think is a witty sidestep.

    I think most of your allegations have a basis in truth and are a concern but the heights you reach are mostly wishful thinking. I blame the broadcast media and social media for that since nothing drives clicks and ratings like controversy, these days it's a nearly full time job trying to separate facts from speculation and outright propaganda. Throw in a touch of bias and propaganda wins and the hearts and minds of many are forever changed.

    We can debate your allegations one by one if you wish and attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff. Let me know.

    I think a straight answer from Alan would be a refreshing change)

    Ask me a question rather than make an accusation. That's the key to communication.

    His point was that conservatives are ok with accusations which go beyond what facts reveal. I offered to discuss each in hopes of establishing where the truth lies but he hasn't responded to that. If I were to respond to his and your specific accusations I'd simply say "No, don't be silly" and be done with it.

    Like the facts revealed Barack Obama was born in Hawaii of an American citizen mother. Many conservatives were happy to assert, repeatedly, that he was born in Kenya, with no mention of his mother's citizenship. I get it.

    "Beyond what facts reveal" sounds like opening the door to Vince Foster, Pizzagate, Bill Gates' vaccine machinations, and myriad other QAnon/Russian troll farm conspiracy theories. Prove me wrong.

    If you haven’t seen all the things happen that I pointed out then you haven’t been paying attention and there’s no point discussing further.
