But when you type a well reasoned serious response, well that's not as much fun as just slinging buzz phrases and memes at each other so they get overlooked. I have seen posters listen though, and admit they didn't understand the whole situation, and they have my respect even if they don't view everything 100% the same as me. Probably your friend was similar. I haven't listened to much of the talking heads on the conservative side the past two months, but from what I have between Beck and Bongino and post from Don Jr this past week, I sense more anti-Ukraine sentiment creeping up, and it's because of the aid we are sending. If they are going to make that argument, then the conversation needs to continue with "Ok, then what"? Are you comfortable with the results if we don't, or do you have other solutions you propose? Don't talk to just score hit points on the other side. Don't say well we need to secure the border instead. Yes I agree, but is FJB, FNP, and FCS going to do that right now whether what is going on in Ukraine is happening or not? No they won't, the border will be wide open no matter what, and that's a separate issue. One has no bearing on the other outside of a talking point.
