Why?

Trump in term 1 was the most hostile to legal immigration President in decades and that was before he started slandering Haitians with legal status

Silly name calling isn't how grownups should discuss politics. If anything, it makes it harder to agree with any point you're trying to make.

Edit: I had no idea it was controversial to say that name calling makes an argument less convincing.

What's grown up about people who say they don't care if their candidate murders someone on the white house steps, they'd still vote for him? Insanity needs to be derided.

What does this have to do with what I said?

Name calling is not a way to make a convincing point. That's the entirety of my comment.

[CuriouslyC → ziddoap]

The point is that making convincing points is the old way. We have a commander in chief that has elevated name calling to the new normal.

Trump can’t speak about anyone he opposes without giving them a childish nickname, seems fair to reciprocate. Going further, it appears that the leader of the nation modeling this behavior also normalizes it.

While it might be fair, I'm saying that using childish nicknames does no favors if you're trying to make people agree with what your saying.

I don't think following Trump's footsteps with tit-for-tat name calling is beneficial to anyone.

Can you explain this image and how it relates to my comment like I'm 5?
