    I have no obligation to follow your media cycle.

    It’s clear that republican propaganda has made its way to you anyway. You repeat it without a second thought.

    and it was not my intention to be hurtful.

    You dismissed what I was saying by calling it mental illness. I can’t see how that could have been intended as anything other than gaslighting and abuse.

      The trouble you’re having is that you’re jumping to ridiculous and unhinged accusations. If you look at this very thread, I immediately changed my mind when a user pointed out that you already need photo ID for voting. But you just can’t let it go. So “you” have won the political argument, I’ve conceded like 15 comments ago. That’s the part where I think this goes beyond normal political outrage for a legitimate issue, and has probably crossed over into something that’s affecting you and your relationships on a personal level. I do not mean this as an ad hominem although I phrased it in an unhelpful way.

        unhinged

        More gaslighting.

        I immediately changed my mind when a user pointed out that you already need photo ID for voting

        Your response when someone pointed out that you already need an ID was:

        Then I have a really hard time seeing what the problem is.

        That’s not changing your mind. That’s telling people who are upset at the attempt to disenfranchise voters that they’re upset about nothing.
