But I won't criticize someone responding in kind to a bully either.
Standing up to a bully is not the same thing as using a bully's tactics against him. When you grasp this concept you'll actually understand the argument being made against your position in this thread.

Responding to a bad person in kind is the antithesis of what you just described. The bully understanding is not the goal, it's those around him that you're trying to convince. Your failure to perceive this is honestly confusing.
Quote:Trump is all ego. When a stadium full of people puncture that by chanting his own phrase back at him? That's more devastating for him than SSF and "people like him" saying we should just ignore the POTUS acting like he does.
There is a wide variety of responses between acting in kind and ignoring. Your black and white world view in this matter is inhibiting your potential understanding.
Quote:Trump, of all people and as an individual example, deserves every "boo" and chant because "he is who he is". That's my take.
That's fine. Just don't complain about Trump's incivility when you endorse the exact same behavior as a response. Either own that or own being a massive hypocrite.
