      In that case, it’s weird that you’re telling that to me and not the Trump person who replied to me who suggested the opposite.

      Shouldn’t you be replying to them?

      Here, I’ll help: https://lemmy.world/comment/10631441

      Let me know when you’ve replied to them about it. (I won’t be holding my breath.)

        Apparently the way Lemmy’s link creation works makes all first-level replies to your comment the same link AS your comment. So, in providing the link ‘to be helpful’, you only linked to your own comment. That’s not actually helpful and so it doesn’t come across in the best way.

          And yet they knew what I was linking to because they, like me, know how Lemmy works. And you know they knew because they were talking about that post.

              Just FYI, I was responding to a libertarian regular who thinks there should essentially be no gun regulations.

              Also, they’re a bigot.

              They won’t say it out loud…even though it’s a massive part of it. The youth are staring at a shit load of immigrants from hard right religious countries yelling at how they want to turn their country into a Shira law shit hole…but no it’s the social media…

              You might possibly be backing the wrong horse.

                He can go kick rocks. I’m trying to help you.

                From an outsider perspective, it looks like you told him to “go respond to this guy instead”, but linked the same comment that it was already responding to. It was confusing and made you look like the asshole in the situation, which I’m trying to help prevent in the future.

                  I’m not sure how else to link to someone’s post than to do it the only way Lemmy allows you to do it.

          I see you have not responded to them about how Trump is not friendly toward the Second Amendment. Looks like I was correct to not have held my breath.

            Again, maybe I’m reading it wrong but I thought their comment was sarcasm. The orange turnip is not a 2a advocate.

              Maybe you should make sure they’re aware of it just in case you’re reading it wrong.

              I doubt you will though. Please, do prove me incorrect on that.
