    Yeah, because if I’m saying that a murdered shouldn’t be picked as the person of the year, the logical conclusion there is that the pick should be Trump instead. Can you be more disingenuine?

      While you didn’t explicitly say that Trump was chosen. Since the conversation is about “it shouldn’t be Trump, it should be Luigi”. The natural flow of conversation is that if you say “it shouldn’t be Luigi” then it, by default, should be Trump.

        I didn’t say it shouldn’t be Luigi, I said it shouldn’t be a murderer. Anyone with even a hint of intellectual honesty can then reason that if I’m against a murderer being picked then I’m probably against a rapist, racist, compulsive liar and an aspiring dictator as well.

          Then your reply should have been along the lines of “Picking a murderer instead of a rapist isn’t better”.

          FYI, they have picked a mass murderer more than once in the past. Being person of the year isn’t necessarily an honor.
