I really love it when you 100% nail what I was about to post.

Ant's biggest problem is he thinks he's intellectually superior to the rest of us in regard to politics. That he's the only one doing research. That his opinions are somehow superior because, well, they are his. That anyone who doesn't jump on board with his ideals is somehow uninformed, hesitant to dig deep, or just plain below his standards of political discussion.

Kii - nailed it. I'm going to start reading Ant as Trump form now on.

It makes the posts so much more bearable and funny. You'll never get upset again.

Oh look, all I had to do was change one name and suddenly it fits so much better.

Anyone who has spent more than five seconds studying something like Communism (or human behavior in general) would come to the same conclusion. A person will not work harder than someone else if everyone is being paid the same despite variation in productivity between people. Is the commonality between all of us known as human laziness a strawman?

That's exactly what Donald Trump would have done.

I'll take that as a compliment in this case.

Have I ever accused you of being politically ignorant? Of not digging deep enough to understand MY ideologies? Of not understanding the subtleties of politics?

You try and act all college level intillect if it fits your point of view but then when you are called out you revert to 1st grade tactics.

Look at the evolution of your poiltical posts on this forum and the rebukes, comebacks, and denouncements of your views on what the hell is going on, as well as your lame comebacks to those who challenge you.

You are like the Wicked Witch of the West in Oz after we've all thrown water on you.

You're melting. Melting. Melting.

It was probably unnecessary to correct him, cause he probably did it on purpose.

The purpose of Papi Chulo saying "You try and act all college level intillect" is to poison the well by presenting Anteater as a person pretending to be a college level intellectual. By making him out phony in essence Papi Chulo is explicitly implying that all of Anteater's arguments are phony too.

I can't add to the political discussion, but I will say this: I've just watched the live (at the time) finale of the Celebrity Apprentice and it was unbelievable how Trump strode in like a king or something and everyone - and I mean everyone - had to rise and applaud. This was before he was president, not that you would know it. The man is a walking ego.
