    unhinged

    More gaslighting.

    I immediately changed my mind when a user pointed out that you already need photo ID for voting

    Your response when someone pointed out that you already need an ID was:

    Then I have a really hard time seeing what the problem is.

    That’s not changing your mind. That’s telling people who are upset at the attempt to disenfranchise voters that they’re upset about nothing.

      That’s not changing your mind.

      That’s you reading in what you needed to hear so that you could have an unnecessary fight with someone on the internet. The rage addiction is what’s unhinged.

      You could have asked for clarification, as in: “do you mean that there’s no problem with demanding passports rather than other forms of photo ID, or do you mean that there’s no problem with verifying citizenship with the current system?” Instead you jumped from one accusation to the next, utterly unable to engage in an actual exchange.

      Oh, I know, I know, even more gaslighting, right?

        That’s you reading in what you needed to hear so that you could have an unnecessary fight with someone on the internet.

        That’s me reading what was there in plain text.

        Someone explained to you what the problem was and you responded by saying you didn’t see what the problem was.

        Oh, I know, I know, even more gaslighting, right?

        It seems to be your go-to.

          Someone explained to you what the problem was and you responded by saying you didn’t see what the problem was.

          I don’t see a problem with the ID verification that you currently have in place. As in, I don’t see a problem with the verification methods that they described. Should be pretty clear?

          Every other commenter seems to have gathered as much, but sure, misunderstandings can still happen. But this thread is now pretty long, so I don’t think a misunderstanding is the problem here.

          Gaslighting is what you’re doing. If there was a misunderstanding, fine - I can clarify and that’s that. But you’re trying to tell me what I meant and where my opinions are derived from (i.e. your media cycle). That’s what gaslighting is. It has nothing to do with having different opinions or challenging someone’s views.

            You literally said I needed therapy because I disagreed with you.

            I’m done dealing with you. Go abuse someone else who doesn’t like people being disenfranchised.

              You do need therapy man. I’m genuinely sorry if it is unavailable to you but you’re literally looking for unnecessary fights. We’re fucking agreeing over the specifics, but for some reason you’re still pressing on and creating a conflict where there absolutely is none.

              Good idea to quit this thread now though.

                That’s not your call to make, and it’s certainly not predicated on my disagreeing with you.

                  Of course not. It’s predicated on the fact that you’re creating a conflict over nothing. We’re not disagreeing over the voter ID verification.

                    You were told why it was a problem and kept denying it was. Now you’re trying to backpedal.

                    Tell me I’m insane some more. It’s what you do when you can’t admit you’re wrong.
