That's not true. You're trying to say that you have a better understanding of Republicans than "anyone else on this site" and as evidence you're using your juvenile experience in a single religious sect.

I one-true-Scotsman'd you because your argument has shifted from I am the supreme Republican expert because of my fundie parents to one cannot know Republicans without a deep, personal and disavowed belief in fundamentalism. "I am an expert in X because of Y" does not work when someone else says "I have more experience in Y". Unfortunately, you cannot then say "I am still more of an expert in X because of Y-triple prime" because Y-triple prime was not a part of your statement.

And we both know - c'mon, you know - that if you had said "I have more experience with the Republican party than anyone on this site because my fundamentalist family raised me with Christian values" a number of people would have pointed out that Christian values are a subset of the Republican party, not the other way around, especially considering the 2020 platform is "whatever Trump says" and that dude can barely hold a bible right-side-up.

So what you're trying to say is I wanna fight and you're always wrong and if you have defeated my argument it is because I was saving my new improved argument for last and you need to understand down to your very bones that the only reason I put up with this shit? While nobody else does? Is a deep and abiding personal empathy with your plight and your viewpoint but I'm here to tell ya, dawg, you look foolish.
