No it doesn't.

First, even if I were to accept that intelligence was necessary to get elected president, as you are so fond of pointing out the election was essentially a binary choice. So all his winning the election would prove is that he was smarter than Hillary Clinton.

Second, there's no compelling reason why one would need to be smart in order to be elected President.

Okay, although it's worth noting that it's a) not really the policy he ran on, but a super watered down version of it and b) in effect now, for some reason, although it was originally supposed to be for 90 days while we "figure out what is going on".

This is a non sequitur.

1) I'm not a member of any party.
2) I have no control over what candidates run.
3) It has nothing to do with the subject of the question that I answered, which was "what policies has Trump implemented that you don't like?"

I don't want Google doing it either. I don't think it is required for it to be anonymized although if you have a source stating otherwise I'll be happy to look at it.

Well, okay. Time will tell.

Again, regarding bolded: I don't run candidates, I'm just a guy on the internet. Also it has nothing to do with whether I like the policy or not. My liking for the policy exists independent of candidates.

Okay. I'm not sure if that is meant to be support for the laws that have been proposed in Congress so I'm not sure how to respond to it.

I don't know what to tell you. It's a collection of "randoms" who make up the entire social justice movement, and good luck finding a prominent leader who actually speaks for any of them.

That seems to be the dodge that is always made to these sorts of critiques... err, those students kidnapping administrators and their professors who encourage it don't represent the movement, those guys shouting fry pigs don't represent the movement, those nobodies on twitter and youtube (with hundreds of thousands of subs) who apparently only alt-right youtubers are criticizing don't represent the movement, those masked men throwing bricks and feces at cops don't represent the movement, yeah we like Fly and the various unserious trolls who also don't represent the movement, btw did you know it's just evil right wingers who pay attention to any of that? Shut up about it and you can be a part of our real serious movement that nobody knows about, and we'll berate the **** out of you if you claim anyone else is serious but us, or something.

Hold on, that this is a cohesive social movement is exactly the idea you're trying to establish, isn't it? I'm not sure but it seems like it should be a key part of it.

And do we have examples of administrators being kidnapped? Sounds like a crime occurred.

Evergreen State is in Olympia, WA, not a million miles from Seattle (about 60 miles, actually), in a faux-liberal Democrat sort of area -- think Frasier -- and it was founded in 1967, the Summer of Lurve, as an 'experimental' liberal arts college. It is non-selective, it has about a 98% acceptance rate, and its official motto is 'Omnia Extares' ('Let It All Hang Out').

It is arguably not all that typical.

Yeah.. you've just identified the problem with your own argument. A movement with no leaders is not a "real serious movement".

'Special snowflake' of a school, counterpart to the likes of Liberty University, a religious right -rooted school. It's definitely not Cornfield Sports University.

The American 'centre' is so far right it's out of sight.

Stop doing it, then.

Let the obfuscation begin.... Evergreen just one more example of what apparently only the alt-right trolls will bother to pay attention to or criticize, and you two should definitely not watch a Vice video or try to read up on, because if you were to accept any of it as a representation of the actual "serious" social justice movement, like say the Women's March, where protesters wore pink pussy hats and feminist "nobody" Linda Sarsour, who wants to take away Ayan Hirsi Ali's vagina, spoke, then you would be for sure be ostracized from the serious peoples group where serious action is done. I'd provide more links for you, but you won't read them for your own mental health.

Very good.

I made this point...

wat

Where did I do it?

God damn it.

Okay, FlyWf. You were right.

That's not even the best part! Did you know ladies at the women's march wore pink pussy hats!? Dear sweet Lord, someone needs to stop these radical leftoterroristas! :P

Do you think Pink Pussy Hats resonate with the electorate?

I thought they were quite fetching, but the question seems irrelevant. Pink pussy hats might be questionable social movement framing but it's definitely not some kind of beyond the pale radicalism that should have us all worried about the future of our society. You have this problem where you're always trying to change the subject.

The problem is when you call everybody you don't like a Nazi. I was just using shorthand.

This type of attitude will bring about the the jack booted thugs you are so violently opposed to.

You asked what YOU could do about it. I'm telling you - work with the party you support to run better candidates. Or don't. So far, people seem to think Trump is doing what he said he was going to do. Nobody is perfect, but it's not like he got elected to office and then said "Surprise, open borders for everyone! Suckers!"

You brought up the pussy hats. I'm just telling you that it's not persuasive.

Well, it is persuasive, but against the interests of those wearing them.

No, I didn't.

Oh, okay, fine I guess but it seemed like you mixed that in with the question about what Trump policies I didn't like which, again, is a completely separate question.

Related to the "what should I do" question, do you think there is any particular reason that I should stop criticizing Trump on the internet?

They do? I mean, he's certainly trying to do things he said he would do but it doesn't seem very successful. Also, if he does something I don't like, the fact that he said he was going to do it before the election isn't going to make me like it more.

JiggyMinding 'the electorate's' opinions of vaginas.

FoldnDark brought up the pussy hats.

Effective at what?

And we do oppose his policies! We ****ing marched in the street over the Muslim ban. Remember that? You filled your Depends over it? Ringing a bell?

Direct action and thousands of phone calls just ****ed up his plan to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a policy that he's literally too ****ing stupid to understand. Which you like, because you're also too stupid to understand it, and having the President be just as dumb as you are instead of an intimidating educated black man is your Safe Space.

Slow down. All I've asked is for you to provide context for your example e.g. what started it all, what's it all about, why it shows whatever you think it shows, before I feel the need to look into it. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be looking into yet!

And your response is to accuse me of "obfuscation" (how asking you to explain whatever you're talking about can ever be that, I don't know), hand me another link, and bring up two new names in Linda Sarsour and Ayan Hirsi Ali.

Do you see how we've gone from just asking you to present your case into you bombarding me with info that you haven't explained the relevance of?

You brought up Evergreen. I asked you what it's about and why it's relevant. You've responded with no explanation of your own, but more links and names for me to have to research in order to hopefully figure out what you're talking about. And, if I don't, you're going to claim victory or that I refused to accept your example of Evergreen.

This is turning quickly into a Gish gallop, and I'm trying to help you avoid that.

This not you?

Someone get out the laudanum and fainting couches, the delicate ears of Trump voters heard the word "pussy!"

It's excellent work they do. The children are our future.
