Ma’am, that sounds like an awfully specific word choice for you to be using there…

Because they are.

The rights of an individual to live must always be held above the desire of a business to control employees.

Sure. A lot of people in the U.S. are choosing to not have children in the U.S. because the environment within the country is so bad.

It’s not a precedent. The entire reason Amendment 14 is there is because they needed something broad after the Civil War happened. They needed wording that would apply to all of the people who had been on the other side in the Civil War even without convictions. Applying the same standard to Trump is just treating him like they treated all of the people in the past who were elected officials who took up arms against the country or gave aid and comfort to those who did.

Oh, well that’s a great argument.

After all, we know that Republicans in power only misuse power if Democrats have used the same power previously.

Bigots commonly insist that trans people use “I identify as” rather than “I am” when the transgender people are giving their gender, because the intention is to deny those people the ability to be seen as their preferred gender and instead give the impression that those people are impostors, implying that “identifying” is more akin to “relating” instead of categorization.

Insisting that an ostensibly autistic person use “self-identified” instead of “self-diagnosed” would have the same effect.

If you want to use a proper word that’s not “diagnosed”, “self-assessed” would be more accurate.
