    If I believed that, I would have made a claim and backed it up with facts. You did make that claim and did claim to have links ready to post.

    Why would your false claims affect how people take my posts?

    Ok. I'll take you up on that. Let's start with this...
    QUOTE where I said that the rate of infection is "significantly higher among Republicans". Or retract!

    I quoted you twice.

    "In fact, there is more evidence that Trump followers that assist to Trump events and those who refuse to wear a mask (because their "idol" mocks people who wear masks) are immensely more likely to spread Covid and keep the pandemic alive (and the economy struggling) far longer than it needs to be. "

    Now you may show data showing an immensely higher rate of infection among republicans. Or you can retract.

    "Supremacism" of any kind is racist, just so you know.

    There IS more evidence that Trump followers who assisted Trump events are more likely to spread Covid than immigrants.

    But your demanding me to prove something completely different that in no way is said nor implied in the above paragraph. You claimed I said that the rate of infection is "significantly higher among Republicans".

    So, given that you can't quote me saying or implying any such thing, a clear and unequivocal retraction from you is in order.

    Exactly. These open border folks claim racism where there is none.

    I quoted you 3 times. (This is #4)

    "In fact, there is more evidence that Trump followers that assist to Trump events and those who refuse to wear a mask (because their "idol" mocks people who wear masks) are immensely more likely to spread Covid and keep the pandemic alive (and the economy struggling) far longer than it needs to be.

    You have not quoted a single time me saying that "infections are significantly higher among Republicans" Which is what you claimed I said.

    Clearly you don't expect to be taken seriously. So.... I won't

    I can't help but wonder why a disease is racist. If you asked the diseases, they would likely deny it.

    If I didn't want to be taken seriously, I would have a disclaimer in my sig that I can't back up.

    Anyway, I amended my question to "immensely higher rate of infection" knowing that you still couldn't defend that position and would run up your post count with dodges.

    Perhaps you can just admit that your statement was a harmless, playful swipe at Republicans and was never meant to be taken at face value. I can at least respect political humor.

    That's right. I can't defend statements I didn't make. Now... when you say (your words) "amend my question"... does that mean you are retracting?

    You're going to need to do it using far clearer language than that, if you actually do want to be taken seriously.

    Please qualify your claim.

    I said that I can show you the research from which that statement comes. But I have requested from you that, after I show it, you either show evidence and arguments of similar weight to mine that contradict me; or you accept that what I show is factual.

    Too many right-wingers here who, after you show them wrong, all they respond is "you're wrong". I consider it a waste of time to try to engage in a serious debate with them, in which facts are what guides the discussion, and not dogmas and demagoguery. There are a handful of right-wing posters here to whom I am happy to show my research as soon as they demand it. Because I know they will address it (either to accept it or debunk it) I have seen nothing so far to indicate that you are one of them. You have even refused to commit to it. To the contrary, I have seen you fabricate arguments I didn't make, and ascribing them to me.

    I say what I mean... nothing more, nothing less... And I mean what I say, nothing more, nothing less. If it's not in my argument it's because that is not what I claim.

    After running up your post count dodging, you are not in a position to claim you are trying to save time. You previously admitted that no such data has been compiled and now claim you have your gotcha moment ready to post under the condition that I blindly accept it without question.

    Post it or don't.

    A disease isn't racist. Calling foreigners (in particular those of the Latino kind) diseased is racist.

    I understand. Everything people say is racist. I ignore that nonsense.

    There is no such thing as "race"

    If you ignore everything people say, that means that nobody ever says anything racist. But it also means that you live in your own personal fantasy bubble.

    It's your choice, though.

    What? You are confused. While all races are the same species and are identical to one another in terms of anatomy, there are certainly racial groups with the characteristics about which you are certainly aware. What I think you meant to say is that there are no subspecies of homo sapiens. That is true. But there certainly are races. If there weren't how would a racist identify the target of the racism?
