Here's what happened:

I said this:

He makes his core beliefs well known and doesn't telegraph his moves.
It is a key observation that many people have made in the past, yet it is an observation that is rarely accepted among those who do not like Trump. It is something that I have personally been consistent on, so I have at least an n=1 of behaving like his core beliefs and move telegraphs are distinct and understood by me.

Then I was told I was handwaving

Then I responded by pointing out that tons of people see it the way I do.

Then I was told I was saying something meaningless and being theological.

Then I was told that I don't even know what I meant (I do).

And then more of the above, but I'll stop here


The gap in this conversation is that it's not even a conversation. I'm being told what I think, that I don't know what I think, that my points are not points, etc..
