If I asked, "Can a conservative mayor effectively govern a city with a large Black population, since conservatives hate Black people?", would it be fair to label any objection you'd have to the question itself "parsing words and aping cliches"?

    Except Carlson's question does not beg the question.

    "In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. It is a type of circular reasoning: an argument that requires that the desired conclusion be true." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beggin...on%20be%20true.

    What question is begged? How they can lead is the question. And that's what Carlson addresses. Even without listening to him we know for a fact that there's no question that many on the left hate what America is, that's not begged or assumed.

    Hating America as they do, how can the left lead it, other than to it's destruction?

    If they are successful in "fundamentally" transforming the country, there are no gurantees. Leftists lost 1200+ seats nationwide when BO was in office. Most states had GOP'ers as governors, etc. And we still have a 2nd.

    Of course a conservative can. Because the conservative is black.

    Leading the nation to it's destruction was exactly what BO and Biden were in the process of doing but the 2016 elections got in the way and Globalist Granny failed at getting herself into office.

    So, you are right. Leftists can lead America, that they hate, as long as it is to the nation's destruction.

    A swing and a miss. I will say your arrogance is on par with your retarded parties.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    That would be a valid question if conservative policies created the dependent class and keeps them where they are. However that’s not true. The policies of liberal legislators created the permanent underclass.

    And your "response" to my post, while being somewhat wordier than Tahu's, is every bit as much of a non sequitur.
