re: #33 calochortus

Precisely. I’ve just seen a lot of people saying Trump is bad because of his supporters, which opens up the response of “But a KKK Grand Dragon endorsed Hillary!” (Dubious legitimacy, but out there.)

Right wingers don’t need to have that response “opened up,” though. They’ll use it in any and every case. You give them way too much credit for logical behavior. This isn’t based on logic - it’s a childish response to what they see as being attacked, but which is actually valid criticism.
