  • No, not really. That just means one or more of three things:

    1. Because Biden’s actions didn’t affect them at all. Like a tornado not destroying your house.

    2. Because someone else helped them (e.g. Republican organizations handing out money - which is… fantasy)

    3. Because in spite of Biden’s actions affecting everybody, those people still had some money left to donate. Like how during a recession many people lost their jobs, and some of those people lost their houses, but some others could still make their mortgage payments.

    In the end, I understand what you’re saying, and even though we differ on how stupid Trump’s message is, we agree that it was a stupid (and false) thing to say.


  • My point about intention was that a lion can be an unreasonable force of nature like a hurricane. So swapping a lion for a hurricane didn’t change your argument.

    (I didn’t downvote you, by the way.)

    A lion can have intentions. It can have the clear intention to eat you. Again, you didn’t say reasonable intention. You just said intention. But anyway, I know that’s not the point of the argument.

    You are still insisting on a scenario in which there are two different actions (lions blocking some people and helping others), whereas the way I understood it is that just one action was the cause of two opposite consequences. I guess that can happen (a fire killing some animals but making others flee and flourish elsewhere), but Trump was only referring to one consequence (Nobody has money because Biden bad.)
