      The New York Times is? Or at least, they word it so one seems a lot more acceptable than the other.

        Nobody is saying that on this webpage. I do not need you to quote trump fabricating the impression of a consensus where there is none. In particular without using, well, quotes.

          Right, by “nobody” I thought you were implying that literally nobody was claiming full authority to do whatever they wanted. “Nobody on this webpage” makes much more sense.

            I feel like considering the audience and not straw manning improves everyone’s filter bubble and avoids cementing hatred to those outside of it.

            And we sure have enough hatred. :)

      Are you familiar with allusions? How about implications?

      Things don’t have to be said explicitly.
