Opposition’s counterclaim

"What about families already here, and the industries that rely on them?"

My response

"They should have thought about that. America doesn't need to outsource to be great."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"Who verifies sex in sports, and aren't you targeting trans kids?"

My response

"Birth certificate. They can be what they want, that's why America is amazing. I won't enable delusion at the cost of biological women."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"Where's the line on ideology in schools?"

My response

"Don't shield the child from the world they live in. Meet them at their level and guide them in making their own opinions."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"You want to cut Grandma's Social Security."

My response

"Grandma keeps every dollar. Young people deserve a choice, and a 16-year-old pays in with no representation."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"What about high driving, and what about the kids?"

My response

"If you've ever been drunk, you have no argument. Making it illegal doesn't stop kids from getting it; the forbidden part makes it more exciting."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"With no immunity, prosecutors will be buried in lawsuits."

My response

"That should be the incentive not to be predatory, coercive or violate any amendment for a conviction. People plead to avoid exposure even when they didn't do it, and the prosecutor knows it."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"A federal review board over local police is big government."

My response

"It's not more government reach; it's the government protecting its citizens while keeping local departments in check."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"Forcing teachers to carry guns is extreme."

My response

"Our kids' safety overrides discomfort. Until you give me a better way to deter and respond to an active shooter, your counters are invalid."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"Doctors and lawyers need general education: writing, reasoning, ethics."

My response

"We've been learning English, writing and ethics from K through 12. By their logic, K-12 taught me nothing."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"You break with America First on marijuana, police oversight and foreign policy."

My response

"Marijuana is tax revenue that funds innovation and education. Police need an Americans-first mentality so "protect and serve" keeps its meaning. Mind our business, but our global power must remain absolute."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"Leaving out the charger cuts e-waste."

My response

"Seriously? They wanted to sell them separately, especially after switching connectors, and push their own fast chargers. If it needs power, give people a way to charge it."

Opposition’s counterclaim

"Redistricting would split up Indianapolis and erase a Black-majority community's voice in Congress."

My response

"Democrats stack the numbers too. Why not give more seats to the party with the state's and country's best interests at heart?"
