Really? I did say it (I used "straight" rather than "level"): You need to work on your reading comprehension, then maybe you won't sound so stupid when I summarize your arguments.

Trump Defensiveness Syndrome? Look through my posts since replying to Coreece. I have said NOTHING about the man. Poor turtle, did I hurt your feelings by talking about visual elements? I haven't said anything about your object of affection.

You think it's overall composition, I think there are 2 specific elements. Coreece has no argument for either. You've actually been clearer in one post than he(she?) has in half a dozen. I'll summarise how the argument has gone so far: Coreece: posts link to eagle logos implying that USMC logo is also similar and there's nothing Nazi-like about the Trump one Me: I lay out 2 points: the wing position sloping down vs up/level for Nazi and Trump eagles, and the visibility of the tail/position of the circle Coreece: you're wrong Me: why? please be specific Coreece: your biased contrasting Me: posts closeups of wing, which one slopes down? Coreece: lol, they're all different, do you support Trump now? Me: you didn't answer my question Coreece: ok I'll ask again, why are you posting photos of the wings? Me: SLOWLY explains the same thing I said in (2) Coreece: No the Nazi wings are level Me: So are you willing to put money on which two people will find more similar? Coreece: just pointing out how dumb it is, and how dumb you sound repeating it ad nauseam. Why are you wasting time on this? Me: you were the one who kept asking so I had to repeat it I laid out just 2(!) points, and several posts later only one is being argued after me having to repeat several times.

It's Trump Defensiveness Syndrome, the slightest perceived criticism about their Dear Leader and they jump to the defence of a man who neither knows who they are or cares about them. As I said earlier I haven't said anything about the man in the past few posts. Aaaand you still haven't answered my question. I did acknowledge the Nazi wing was straight, but overall I think most people would find more similarity between them rather than the USMC one which slopes down. Are you willing to put money on that? Then you have no rebuttal on the closeups of the bottom bit which shows that the tail is only visible on the USMC one. Anything to add on that?

You're the one who asked it 3 times. All the points I had was in that first reply, nicely numbered but you didn't understand, or were unwilling to understand. What I do with my time is my choice, and I have said nothing about the man in these past few posts, just the similarities with the logo. The TDS is real, and you have it.

So are you willing to put money on which two people will find more similar? That was not my point. Why are you avoiding my point? Oh right, because you're avoiding the truth, because it hurts. Need a safe space?

I will use simple words this time. I will also number the points to make it easy to understand. If you still can't understand, please ask an adult. the USMC eagle wings slope down the Trump eagle and the Nazi eagle wings slope UP the USMC eagle tail is visible the Trump eagle and Nazi eagle tail is NOT visible Therefore, the Trump logo has MORE similarities to the Nazi logo than the USMC one. The Nazis were very, very bad people. And Coreece's ability to understand is very, very small and needs much, much improvement!

Ok let's see toddlers identify, in which photo can you see the tail of the eagle?

Putting words in my mouth now? That's desperate. And pathetic. You know you need to use your own words to win arguments right?

No, I'm not desperate, because for such a simple question you can't even specify what I was wrong about.

I even number my points to make it easy for you. All you can say is "your biased contrasting" - exactly what, in my points 1 and 2, are wrong? To clarify: Which wing slopes down?

ok, so what's wrong about my list? Be specific please.

Positioning of the wings. The EGA logo wings are sloping down, while the Nazi eagle and Trump eagle wings are "straight" or upturned. Position of the circle. The EGA logo (and the other logos the Trump defenders here have posted) show the eagle's tail, while the Nazi and Trump eagles both hide the tail and have the circle quite high up. Aren't you sad you wasted a lot of effort googling and making leaps over huge gaps in logic just to defend the Trump campaign logo? That goes for the other Trumpists here.

"Extreme left" does not mean "anti-Trump". Every criticism of Trump hurts your feelings. Even if they come from very conservative people like George F Will. Heck, even Rex Tillerson thought he was a moron. But they're now "extreme left" to you because they've dared to criticise your Dear Leader. You've given up all independent thought and are now quite a good sheep. Lots of governments would be thankful for people like you, good job!

That's the spirit, pretend your plea for it didn't happen and stay strong

It is really strange how it's all thrown away just to defend someone who doesn't even know or care about him. So much effort...grilling you "was that your work putting the two images together?" "he didn't suggest people drink disinfectant by themselves". What for? I wonder.

You're welcome. Do you still want that participation trophy?

Do you want a participation trophy or a medal for effort? There are only 1 or 2 people here that are far left, if any. Most are just left of center and some are actually conservative (before that word was hijacked). Unless people like John Bolton are now suddenly far left to you. Your mistake of calling George F Will a leftist is still fairly recent.

Experience? Not from here I think. You're bringing that experience into a random internet forum and pushing it onto people who have had nothing to do with it and you're so sure you can read their minds. You have a lot of anger and I think a random internet forum is not the place for that, professional therapy would help you a lot more.

The gap between Hillary and Trump was around 2%. This time the gap is in the double digits.

So...you pluck these "leftist thoughts" out of thin air, feel sick about these reasons you just completely made up, and then comfort yourself that you're a centrist? Someone's living rent-free in your head making you sick, and it's yourself.

That "evidence" won't be good enough for even a primary school science report...

again, evidence please.

Saying something many times doesn't make it any more logical or truthful. I've never actually considered myself a leftist. With my background in science I was critical of the impression that leftist policies were guided by empathy and feelings rather than data. I actually still think that. However, either by luck or otherwise, leftist policies are somehow more supported by the data, much more than the right wing. Conservatives have just mostly descended into ridiculous hallucinations and rantings that are so far from reality that I've somehow spent a lot more time arguing against them. If both sides were equally distant from reality, I'd spend equal time arguing against both. But they're not. And all this time, we're still waiting for any evidence that you're actually centrist.

I second Jakee's question. Weren't you just claiming you were centrist? I highly recommend you brush up on some mathematics and science first. Suggested topics include Game Theory, the scientific method, Probability, and Bayesian logic. Contrary to popular belief a lot of true things aren't clear just by "instinct" or gut feel.
