Here I was trying to nice, and not include you in the Machiavellian machinations of your party elite. I think the movers and shakers have very different goals and motivations than the followers. I didn't realize you were a mover/shaker. I thought you were just a follower, hence the term "soldier ant", one who marches in lockstep to the commands of others. It's like the difference between Hitler and the deluded Germans who voted him in. I want to attribute purer altruistic motives to the lower level, and not tar the whole party because the motivations of the top people. But as you wish, I will regard you as a co-conspirator with the rest of the elite.

You are allowed to to do as you want for now. If you want to be deceived, you are allowed to be deceived. Maybe not so much in 2050, if you are successful in getting what you want now. But it won't be conservatives you will have to ask permission from then.

To be clear, I don't actually give 2 that you called me a "soldier ant". I just think it is hilariously hypocritical for you to get your knickers in a wad when someone calls you a "trumpbot" (or something similar) and then you turn around and call others "soldier ant". Just decide whether that kind of categorization is OK (in your mind) or not around here. If it is OK, then accept being called a trumpbot (by others, not my term!) without complaint. If it is no OK (in your mind), then stop doing it to others. Easy peasy.

You are free to object to being called a "soldier ant". I am free to object to being called a trumpbot. Easy Peasy.
