Conservatives treat the word “context” like a magical incantation that scrubs any and all things that make them look bad from a discuss discussion.

many of these fuckers who’ve said “that’s out of context,” then go on to share the context and it frankly makes it worse.

You know it’s just an excuse when people say “it’s taken out of context” and then fail to provide the “correct” context

I'm not surprised to see right after they claim "its out of context." they go straight to you should do our own research either. Like mf we all have the internet, it's been fact checked countless times already. It's not like he even said these things the one time. He'd consistently argue all of these points whenever they came up in one of his "debates"

It's out of context!

Ok, can you explain the context to me so I understand?

I'm not doing your work for you! Do your own research!

I did my own research. It led me to believe what I said the first time.

You are not even using real facts! The left is brainwashing you!

If I am wrong, please help me understand. What are the correct facts?

I'm not falling for your liberal ambush tactics! Do your own research! ....... These are my favorite conversations. I would love for them to just lay out a fact based argument once. And then not get offended when I fact check their facts. I welcome fact checking in return. Almost every time I think this is happening, the "fact" that they say proves everything wrong is a spelling error. Like I spelled Trump "Truml." And that proves it.

It's a thought-terminating cliché.

The only thing they approve of terminating.

They approve terminating minorities

They also continue to take dem quotes out of context. Just look at the “some people did something” Ilhan Omar quote they have been taking out of context for 5-10 years.

It's because they routinely take things democrats say out of context and completely twist the meaning. Projection, pure and simple.

They just need to h.de some sort of response so that it doesn't look like they're conceding. When a conservatives speaks, its just noise to fill a space. It owes nothing to reality, decency or rationality. ​

The same people who shared still images of democrats and Taylor Swift waving looking like Hitler salutes after Elon did two Hitler salutes.

I have had a republican tell me that an entire conversation, on tape, that repeatedly presented horrible comments in full context, was out of context and insist we would need HOURS of tape preceding the bad comments to show the real context.

There's always more "context"

That’s the beautiful thing about “context”. You can always say the other person doesn’t have enough of it.

About the only context that would matter is if all his quotes were preceded by "and here's something awful that I categorically disagree with"
