It's not really about equivalence. It's about insulting some other political affiliation for something your political affiliation is guilty of. And the key word is insulting: you're not trying to change anyone's mind. You're just out to condemn and belittle. It's very ugly as seen from my perspective, and the downvotes for pointing it out are ugly too. Especially when you can't downvote away people with disagree with you and expect it to help your cause. And even more so when I don't even disagree with your politics, just the broken partisanship involved.

Your type of tribal thinking is a cancer that will cause much hardship for your country in future.

You drew the insane equivalence! You can’t turn around after being called out and say it’s not about that.

People don’t dunk on you because you have a different political affiliation — they do it because you regularly deny the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change and then blame conspiracy theories and tribalism for the completely predictable responses you receive.

You wrote this same thing in reply to another poster before realized he’s not from the States and deleting it. Glad you found another spot to dump it!

All: please stop.
I did not delete anything. What are you talking about? Also I'm not from USA.
