    …you understand that two things CAN be true at once, though. Right?

    The one true statement is violating sovereignty is a bad thing. That’s the one bad thing.

      You do understand how saying “two things can be true at once” as if you’re talking to an actual toddler is incredibly condescending and not a good place from whence to start a conversation, right? Have the basic respect for someone you’re talking and assume they also have object permanence.
      Stepping into the room like you’re the enlightened Buddha whose shit don’t stink, because you just figured out that both Biden and Trump can be senile at the same time, only has the effect to make everyone else look at you like the idiot you are for

      1. Not figuring it out earlier and
      2. Behaving as if you’re presenting some novel insight.

      Alternatively if you’re trying to dunk on someone have the basic respect for the audience and be either effective or original, which “two things can be true at once” is, ironically, neither.
