What I am "trying" to do is not puzzling because I explicitly state it in my posts. Anyone who can read should be able to figure out that I am soliciting answers to a two-part question. If you'll notice, I even included the two-part question that I am asking. No one gets any bonus points for "figuring all this out." All the points come from answering the question.
Sidenote: I was asking Guille his political leanings because if he is a conservative then I need to acknowledge that there are some extremely cognitively-challeneged dimwits on both sides of the political spectrum. I was previously implying that lack of intelligence pushes people to the left, but anyone would be able to point to Guille and totally destroy my line of reasoning. The best I can do now is to make a "statistical" case based on the available data.

I can't possibly be alarmed that someone disagrees with me. I always have the correct answer. The bulk of humanity is usually mistaken and will therefore be in disagreement. Fortunately for me, reality is not established by consensus of opinion.
My concern is more fundamental. I would expect that people who are mistaken appreciate being handed the correct answer. What alarms me is the fierce stubbornness that compels the egregiously mistaken to cling to their petty mistakes. Warmizombies are the extreme examples of this; they would rather deny science and mathematics than to break free from their political slavemasters.
You are a special case. You are not a total intellectual coward. You do not avoid discussing/confronting differing viewpoints. You are perfectly capable of discussing an issue. I should credit your account with five bonus points.
It's the cowards that are not very bright and who make Just Plain Politics a target-rich environment.

I see your confusion now. You thought I was making an argument. I was not.
You are simply operating under the common misconception that "racism" means "bigotry." It does not. Racism involves inequality under the law. One person cannot be racist unless he is causing an inequality under the law.
A person who hates/fears members of other classes is a bigot.
There certainly may be bigots on this board but I don't believe that any user account on Just Plain Politics has the power to create inequalities under the law.
