A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent:

"You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No."

He continued "Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No."

"Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No."

"But ya fuck one goat.."

Fun fable, but not applicable to this context.

Great things done or not done... Fuck all, it's not relevant to this investigation and thus deflecting.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only thing that matters to his base is that he's a manifestation of their racism.

As long as he's doing what racists love, they won't mind if they came into their house and fucked their wifes and kids.

Few might get disgusted for a while, but hey, their prayer to not see any brown people at work tomorrow might get answered. So that's a win.

Someone needs to draw her like crawker from fairly odd parents "the WOKE LEFT wont even talk about how great trump is"

I can’t tell if it’s worse because of how great he isn’t, or if he actually had done some great things if it would be worse that way.

Ever ask yourself why it's so darn easy to deflect?

Why answer other peoples' difficult questions when you can just answer your own much easier (and already prepared) questions?
