31. Fallacy of the excluded middle

Your constant reminders that Trump. Is. Not. Omnipotent. ignore that fact that no one claims he is.

There's a great deal of territory between your "The Blue Wave Cannot Be Stopped" and the proposition (again, argued by exactly no one) that Trump is omnipotent.

I guess you think this is a total killer statement, as you keep making it.

But, as with Trump, repetition really doesn't make something true.

A great deal of election fuckery can happen without omnipotence.
