It’s October, and the political environment is really, really, REALLY bad for the Republican Party.

    Predictably, you seem stuck in a loop

    Anger and defensiveness are common initial responses, as narcissists perceive criticism as a personal attack on their character or abilities. They may lash out at the person providing the feedback, attempting to discredit or intimidate them to maintain their superior self-image

    Blame-shifting is another common strategy employed by narcissists when faced with criticism. Rather than accepting responsibility for their mistakes or shortcomings, they may assign fault to others, making them the scapegoat for any negative outcomes. By redirecting the blame, narcissists can maintain their sense of infallibility and avoid the discomfort of admitting their own flaws.

    Yet another https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

    Tu quoque,[a] literally “you, too”, is a rhetorical technique that intends to discredit the opponent’s argument by attacking the opponent’s own personal behaviour and actions as being inconsistent with their argument, so that the opponent appears hypocritical. This specious reasoning is a special type of ad hominem attack. The Oxford English Dictionary cites John Cooke’s 1614 stage play The Cittie Gallant as the earliest known use of the term in the English language.[1]

      Perhaps you can explain why you think my standards are low, comparing Hasan to Gore Vidal. Do you even know who Gore Vidal is? Your response makes me think you didn’t have a clue.

      Pretty simple questions. It says a lot that you work so hard to avoid answering, when you could simply ignore instead.

      Do you understand why you behave this way? Have you thought about it at all?

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

        Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity (“I’m just trying to have a debate”), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[6][7][8][9] It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”,[10] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.[11] The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki,[2] which The Independent called “the most apt description of Twitter you’ll ever see”.[3]

        I’m happy to keep pointing out how your argument is logically flawed, how you’re wrong, and to keep repeating everything I’ve said already.

        Just let go, little buddy

          :) you know I played this little game you’re attempting probably before you were born.

          It’s not sealioning to ask the same question again after someone has dodged it. You’re the one constantly trying to drag us away from your comment about Hasan that you cannot or will not back up.

            So you admit, I hurt your feelings and that’s the source of this obsessive narcissistic behavior? I see. if you’ve been playing this game for so long, you’re not very good at it. 💋

              :)

              OK, so you’re not a serious person. Got it.

              I do hope you mature and have great success in life. And perhaps in the future when you make an assertion, be ready to back it up and if you’re wrong, just admit it. That is a measure of strength and maturity.

              I believe in you, you can get there.
