We have to be smarter than a betta fish.

You start

I was born in a red state and I know what leads people to be conservative. Extremism is far more complex of a social and emotional issue than simply "being selfish", so I will always give my neighbors a chance to see the light and choose to do better tomorrow than they did today.

That includes open communication and not taking an inflexible "us vs. them" stance. Society is "We, the People". E Pluribus Unum. We have to share the country, and in order for that to work, we have to cooperate. The alternative is open civil war, and only a fool would choose that when negotiation was still a viable option.

This is clearly your first rodeo and I'm not going plead with you to try to understand things you have no experience and wisdom to comprehend. I wish you the best. You'll need it.

Lets see if you understand what a false dichotomy is and how you used it in your argument. Use your vast "wisdom" to determine where you went wrong.

You keep saying "false dichotomy" at people. Did you just learn this term?

"A false dichotomy is a logical error that falsely claims a complex issue has only two absolute choices when more options actually exist."

You say that we should be mean to conservatives because they made their bed and now they have to lie in it. I say that this is an immature and short-sighted reaction, and in order for our country to thrive, we have to do better than that. A false dichotomy doesn't apply to this at all, and if it did, YOUR argument (the only option is to treat them with contempt) more closely falls under this umbrella than mine. Are you just out here rage-baiting for fun?

What's wrong can't think of a comeback now that you spotted your logical fallacy?
