The hoax has to do with how the Democrats turned “white supremacy”  into an overstated problem and made it  a political motivator.   The Democrats have shown no evidence or studies justifying it being the “most serious terrorist threat”. This has real world negative consequences as I tried to point out. 

I’ll stipulate that if you look white supremacists can be found, but they don’t dominate our culture. 

So they're like trannies?

This take is miles away from the take you started the thread with.

And even so it's chock full of sophistry that COH is so critical of.

"The Democrats" -- overgeneralization (COH's evidence is some SPLC actions)

"overstated problem" -- overgeneralization (problem for how many people?)

"political motivator" -- overgeneralization (no one votes on the topic of white supremacy)

"most serious terrorist threat" -- overgeneralization (how many even think about this?)

"real world negative consequences" -- strawman (yeah sure, just plain affects the living bejesus out of nada)

Trump and his sycophant cronies have proposed an antidote to election doubts which the democrats and never -Trumpers oppose by every means possible.  

Democrats and never -Trumpers favor required voter ID by a very large margin.

The problem is that Trump and his sycophant cronies are "all hat and no cattle".  They propose something that sounds good until you look into the details and realize all of the problems that would ensue, making people well aware that Trump and his sycophant cronies are very well-invested in the objective of stopping blocks of legal voters from voting, when that block is not part of the MAGA base.

 

Super dumb.  Getting a birth certificate or passport isn't difficult and wouldn't cause any problems.  

 

Super dumb.  Obviously the issues of voter suppression is above your IQ level

 

Stop posting.  By the way I'm for voter suppression and requiring ID doesn't qualify. If I'm in charge your a#% isn't voting, Hickory. 

 

Do you have dementia?  I already said I wasn't going to stop posting.    Slow in the head?

You don't understand the meaning of having the right to vote so good thing you aren't in charge.

@larsiu How many clubs in the world would kill for that

98% but Arsenal have always believed they are top 1%. To be sure, they're not firing Arteta but this facepalming end to the season is borderline hilarious. 

 

Isn't @mark-milton an Arsenal gooner?

 

I am.  This has been a complete bedshitting collapse from Arsenal.  They play completely shitty soccer this second half of the season.  They look like 1992 Stoke City--and all that talent.  We were Barcelona lite for many years.  Now we are just lumping it downfield to the 70-mil pound striker that is fat and slow. I like Arteta, but Jurgen Klopp and Carlos Angeloti would have this talent clinching the league 2 weeks ago.

"most serious terrorist threat" -- overgeneralization (how many even think about this?)

So we agree?  President Biden, members of his cabinet, congressional Democrats, and pundits said this often.  Obviously it was a political rallying cry.

LOL at your use of "all hat and no cattle."

Claude: Is the use of "all hat and no cattle" correct in this post?

The idiom is used incorrectly here — or at least imprecisely in a way that undermines the point.

"All hat and no cattle" means someone who talks big but lacks substance, skill, or follow-through — a poser, all style and no real capability. It's about pretending to be something you're not.

But the post is actually arguing the opposite problem: that Trump and his allies are making a calculated, strategic effort to suppress specific voter blocs. That's not someone who can't deliver — that's someone who is deliberately engineering a bad outcome. They know exactly what they're doing and why.

If anything, the post's argument is that they're all cattle and no hat — effective and purposeful at voter suppression, just hiding behind the respectable-sounding language of voter ID reform.

A more fitting idiom might be:

  • "Wolf in sheep's clothing" — presenting something dangerous as benign
  • "Trojan horse" — a proposal designed to accomplish a hidden harmful objective
  • "Bait and switch" — offering something appealing to deliver something else entirely

The irony is that the idiom actually softens the accusation the writer is trying to make. "All hat and no cattle" lets Trump off the hook as merely incompetent. The post's real argument is that he's competently malicious — which is a sharper and more serious charge.

Ha.  Not me.  I always suspected it was a crock.  The SPLC indictment took it around the corner.  My OP is an observation of others who buy into  the white supremacy schtick and make people like Robin DiAngelo and a  bunch of DEI consultants wealthy and others gaining political power. All while damaging merit- based efforts and achievements of all of us.

You missed my joke…

As for your post, you’re doing it again, submerging any point in partisan exaggeration, forcing me to tweezer splinters of sharp reason from the toe jam of your rhetoric. Why would I bother?

I’ll happily stipulate that power-tripping shenanigans lower us all. The first step on the Road to Truth is honesty.
