> When you deliberate misquote someone

Yeah, I'm done with this. I told you my objective was to summarize, you have decided I'm maliciously twisting someone's words. I'm not. I've told you as much. My misuse of quotation marks isn't proof in the pudding. I've explained multiple times, to you no less, my point but you've ignored it and have actually strawmanned it yourself. This is what you're doing right now actually by accusing me of random things.

I suggest you look into the "principal of charity". Its fine to disagree, but being hostile and accusatory isn't.

The principal of charity is why I suggested you are stawmanning rather than actively trolling. You asked for am explanation and I provided it.

You've never explained how you got to the assumption that anyone here is suggesting "blind faith" in the government. Please go ahead and do that or don't claim you've "explained multiple times."
