@mshalk @danielledsouzag @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump 1/ I have to wonder if you even read the article you are critiquing (beyond perhaps the title).
I strongly suspect you haven't because your criticisms do not even apply.
The main thrust of her article is to decry the very binary thinking you are speaking of!

Her well-written and thoughtful article is reminiscent of Brandon Straka's wildly successful
#WalkAway movement as well as Candace Owens' similarly successful #Blexit movement.

All three of those attempt to break free of the shackles of binary thinking that exists on the left.

For example, #Blexit breaks the binary lock of Black = Democrat.
Similarly, D'Souza Gill breaks the lock of Millennial = Democrat.
In other words the article does the *opposite* of what you claimed it did.

In the second part of the article where she discusses the progress made by President Trump,
she focuses on four specific areas:
national (and international) security, economic prosperity, liberty and personal freedom, and patriotism.

Of these I know that you are ideologically opposed to the concept of patriotism,
so I will put this aside as an uncrossable political divide for you.
But the other three points are solid and irrefutable IMHO.

@mshalk @danielledsouzag @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump 7/ I have never seen any thoughtful rebuttals of these points, and you did not offer any.
@mshalk @danielledsouzag @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump 8/ What's remarkable though, is your incredible lack of self-awareness of the irony of accusing someone of "binary thinking"
while engaging in a clear example of binary thinking yourself!

@mshalk @danielledsouzag @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump 9/ You are guilty of precisely the same mechanistic thought pattern the article argues *against*.
You self-identify as a #resistard, a movement (if you can call it that) that is DEFINED by binary thinking.

Computer Scientists would describe your behavior as modeled by a Two-State Automaton - namely, "Orange man bad", and "Democrat good".
You are literally incapable of any deeper thought than that!

@mshalk @danielledsouzag @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump 11/ You probably saw the word "Trump" NOT follwed by negative commentary, and this triggered your automatic reflex response.
@mshalk @danielledsouzag @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump 12/ BTW none of this is aimed at you specifically; it applies equally to ALL #resistards. The only rational, thoughtful people on your side have already left the party via #WalkAway
@mshalk @danielledsouzag @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump @threadreaderapp unroll it for posterity, baby
