You have now had two opportunities to answer the question why do you think calling people fools is effective?

Since you won’t or can’t answer that question, I’ll offer my thinking on calling people fools:

Of course, I follow Jesus on this: he who calls his brother a fool is guilty of murder. We see this with Trump. The Democrats who say he’s a danger to democracy have blood on their hands. They induced a troubled man to try to assassinate Trump. You might not like everything Trump has to say, but, if his programs don’t work out, there’s the next election. You can vote him or his party out at the next election. I suspect that the reason the Democrats name-call reveals that they’re afraid Trump’s policies will work out.

The perennial best-selling book How to win friends and influence people, by Dale Carnegie, has the tried and true formula for success. Now, admittedly, Dale Carnegie was a Christian minister, so you’d suspect that he would be following Jesus. But, more so, Carnegie gives positive ways to be effective. Ways that have worked well for managers, salesmen, and others. If you’re interested, here are the crib notes to his book.

I don’t presume you are actually interested in influencing anybody. Possibly you’re just interested in puffing yourself up. If it’s the latter, you must be having a good time, and good luck with it.

OK...Your gilded view is yours, alone.
I didn’t call ANYONE a fool. I used an idiom. You choose to overlook that simple point. I’m not surprised.
You certainly present as being quite full of yourself, so all the puffery falls on you.

I am a Trump supporter; have been since 2015. I still support him. Not surprisingly, you missed that, too.

My support of the FairTax over other offered replacements for the current mess of Taxes and Tax Law in the US remains intact, too, despite your posting.

Now, please go back to your lecture hall. You have nothing left to offer, here.
