Not for nothing; but most people of any political persuasion will not listen or follow an argument long enough to answer a question logically. They just hear/read enough of your words to spark off one of their own favorite rants and off they spout, ignoring what you were saying or asking. Such people just want to hear themselves talk. It’s one of my pet peeves even with close friends who are conservatives. It’s very hard to find a good conversationalist who can listen as well as talk.
Possibly, but they did acknowledge my having asked the question. They just made false equivalencies ("Do you beat your wife?" which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be "Have you stopped beating your wife?") and skirted the question with multicultural jargon.
