Tonya Zylka initiated a thread making false claims against President Trump and against his supporters. She argued that the supporters did not care about his "racism". They "did not care" about his other faults... Faults that Tonya felt were serious enough that the president should not have even received support.
She went as far as to claim that we were like a cult of personality... Blindly following the leader while ignoring "blatantly obvious facts".
As a Trump supporter, I saw her claims as blatantly false. They were provably false. I jumped in and addressed her arguments point by point. Naturally, she did not like that. She was already unhinged on the thread. She became more unhinged when I responded to her.
It got to the point where she told people to simply "keep scrolling" if they see a post that they did not agree with. The implication was that if they saw her posts, they should just scroll on. Tonya Zylka wanted to be able to openly post, on her wall, her opinions about the president... Without the "inconvenience" of an opposing argument.
Given the nature of these opinions, it was only natural that she was going to get into debates. This, despite the fact that she wanted to be able to voice her opinions without opposition.
During the course of our exchange, she insinuated that I "didn't" have the facts on my side. Then, she resorted to making false claims about me. Even calling me "racist", "arrogant", and "having plenty of time on my hands".
Eventually, she came up with the baloney speech about "growing". Apparently, one of her friends advised her not to "water rocks". Tonya decided that she was going to "grow". The implication was that she was not going to water rocks.
If she were serious about this effort, she would simply not have replied to me. She would have received my rebuttals. She would not have tried to argue beyond that. She would have bowed out and not waste her time arguing with me.
Instead, she chose to block me. When someone claims or hints that "they will not argue anymore", then blocks the person that they are arguing against, something else is going on. It is not done for "growing up" or for "not wanting to argue with somebody".
It's just them wanting to regain control. What are they really saying when they claim that "they are done arguing" and then block the person they are arguing against? What they are really saying is that they are tired of the opposition not letting them have the last word. So, they would take action to "force" the other side to quit arguing.
She took me off block not long after this. I saw her, in another thread, behaving exactly as she did on the thread we debated on. One of the conservatives on that thread noted that she blocked him. This proved my suspicions that she did not grow. Her statement about "growing" was just a cover for a demonstration of narcissism issues, control issues, and anger issues.
