    Sure we can spend all day defining words, but that’s obtuse. You very well know what I meant. Not turning an active flight around is magnitudes different than continuing arrests and deportation after a court order.

    A justification requires at least some pretense of a reason. Just because you want to is a statement.

    Once again, it’s not a cope to acknowledge that things are bad now and they can get worse. I’m going to protests, I’ve stopped all discretionary spending, and I tell my story to anyone that will listen (my work has been directly impacted). Hell I haven’t spoken to my Trump voting father in months. Short of taking arms against the government there’s not much left to do, and frankly to get to that level the milestones on the way to the bottom do matter a lot.

      Bro, you’re the one here trying to nitpick definitions. You just said justification requires A pretense of reason. That reason could very well be” because you wanted to”. There’s no limit to what that reason given could be.

      To save us from the democrats

      To protect this country

      Because I wanted to because only I know what’s best.

      To get back at all those evil doing minorities

      Those are literally all reasons and could be used as justification for actions

        Okay so we’re going to have to define words.

        Reason:

        1. a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event.
        2. the power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic.

        Please refer to definition 2.

          I am aware of both of those definitions thank you. literally only reinforces my point. Have a good day.

          I have provided multiple reasons for reasoning. If you’re gonna sit there and wait for them to stop giving excuses for their actions, then you’re never gonna stop waiting

            Ignores my statement of active action

            Claims point was proven

            Refuses to elaborate

            Leaves

            Bold moves

              Man, I really don’t know how to help you here. I really have nothing more to argue. I can’t force you to understand language
