    Ok so I found the comment, and it links to this post, where they’re joking about giving critical support to Trump.

    It’s not thread going into the virtues of critical support as you said. That pretty significantly deviates from what you suggested, and pretty clearly indicates that this it was a joke.

    Hopefully I’m not auto-banning myself by posting links there.

        No it doesn’t. In fact it means the opposite.

        Yes the phrase “critical support” means support. But the sarcasm means that the intended meaning is exactly counter to the naive interpretation.

        I feel like I’m mansplaining, but you seem to not understand sarcasm (which is ok, some people don’t; i want to make clear I’m not trying to be condescending)

            Yes. Plausibly deniable speech like dog whistles suck. But you have to give some allowances that people you don’t like still have their own sense of humor that you don’t share.

            I get it, you have an axe to grind. Everyone has one, and that’s ok. I would have appreciated being told that you’re not open to changing your mind earlier on, but I guess I should have just looked at your comment history myself.

                No Because that’s not what the joke was about.

                I’ve been trying to be nice and give you the benefit of the doubt, but you’re being an incorrigible ass about this so let me be clear.

                You’re a liar. A straight up liar. You lied to people about the nature of the link to trick them into supporting you. And you’re either being dishonest about the nature of the joke, or you entirely don’t understand sarcasm (so your continued insistence is dishonest).

                I’m done talking with you.

                Without supporting tankies, I can still say you’re a dishonest snake of a human who intentionally misleads people for your own benefit.

                  Oh okay. Well since you love sarcasm so much, consider everything I’ve said sarcastic and also your ban as sarcastic too. I’m sure you can find the humour in it.
