It shouldn't be all that surprising. It's part of the strawman debate tactics that many use in this forum. It's not often that anyone ever asks what I think about something. They simply attribute certain opinions to me - usually based on their own biases - then attack those opinions.

Great example of the strawman argument on full display above. I espouse neither your assertions above.

There is a subtle difference between questioning and asking questions.

In a class room for example, one asks questions.
When one goes into a court of law, you are questioned.

What do you think Carlson was doing with the videos from McCarthy, asking questions or questioning? A free MAGA hat for the correct answer.

Now you're playing the obtuse card?

Wow, Mike. You really have lost what marbles you had left.

Nothin' ever gets through trollhide!
Come on, dispute me,
Utterly refute me,
I'll swing that ol' tarbrush high and wide.
All your calculation
Facts and information
Don't make no impression--trollhide!

Never admit error,
Stand my ground forever
It's my super-power, trollhide!
Take lies as gospel
'Cause it makes 'em hostile,
If they're uncovered let them slide,
Misinformation
Mixed with obfuscation,
Endless disputation, trollhide!

Egg 'em on, whip 'em up,
Mess 'em up, fake 'em out,
Egg 'em on, fake 'em out, trollhide!
Set 'em up, reel 'em in,
Ride 'em hard, get 'em hot,
Let 'em bitch, trollhide!
Never admit error,
Stand my ground forever
It's my super-power, trollhide!
Take lies as gospel
'Cause it makes 'em hostile,
If they're uncovered let them slide,
Misinformation
Mixed with obfuscation,
Endless disputation, trollhide!

With this country speeding towards Authoritarianism at an ever faster pace. This country appears to be heading down the path other countries are now experiencing. The country of Georgia being the latest in the news with unrest. Hungry, Venezuela India..

The soon to be all to apparent catastrophes just around the corner. Climate changing and it related results, mass migration, extinctions, losses in food production, over population, economic upheavals from the costs of damages from extreme weather events.

Vast armed and trained security will be needed to protect the wealth and wealthy from the crowds.
The armies will be pulling other duties.

Taste like vinegar, manure and hot chilis?
Nope, maybe soy sauce.

Self-awareness is quite obviously not your strong point. Nor is English, BTW.
