You probably don't realize how kooky that sounds.
How so? They choose to believe him over our country's intelligence agencies, and can rationalize it away when he clearly contradicts himself. His base are the same people who attacked Obama for his alleged "blame America first apology tour," but now justify Russian interference with our election by bringing up how America had once interfered with the elections of other countries just because it had benefited Trump. The "my country, right or wrong, still my country" crowd supporting Trump seem pretty disingenuously selective about their national outrage.
That sounds rational. "Many of Trump's worshipers will go to the grave believing he's the second coming of Christ" sounds kinda kooky.
I wasn't speaking literally. Sometimes I forget how literal my fellow Aspies can be.
I'm not an aspie. And I realized you were speaking figuratively. But figurative speech can be overdone. I think if folks want to be taken more seriously by the "other side" they might want to consider toning it down some.
Then just imagine I used "persons on the autistic spectrum" instead of Aspie.
I'm a writer; I make use of figurative language all the time.
Ah so you meant for it to sound kooky.
In that people understood I didn't intend it literally. Hyperbole does have a place in rhetoric.
