Reply #51: that would be stupid

[Two Americas]

Were people criticizing the job performance of someone who does not have a job, that would be stupid. Can you cite any examples of someone criticizing the "job performance" of the PE?

Even if there are some examples of that, how does that justify attacking this group of people you are imagining to exist and do not define - "the critics?"

"The critics" - is that anyone who ever expressed any criticism? Are they all criticizing "job performance" of someone who does not have a "job?" Are we therefore to conclude that "they" are all stupid?

You are claiming that the critics are criticizing the job performance of someone who does not have a job. Therefore, all critics should be dismissed and discredited. That is a call for dismissing and discrediting any and all people who express any criticism whatsoever.

Candidates running in the primaries did not have a job, if we define "job" as having taken office. Would any criticism of any of the candidates therefore have been stupid and not worth considering?

You say that this post is to explain to "the critics" why they are getting "reamed."

So you not only call for suppression of criticism, you then justify abuse of critics.
