W-which he did. https://twitter.com/JonTronShow/status/845038284967493638 I don't get your point here. And politics, by nature, are not based in disrespecting your opponent views. Respect =/= liking people. Sorry, but you're missing the point here.

Actually that's a good tactic in debate. Making your opponents ideas seem absurd, also known as reductio ad absurdum, is reducing your opponents ideas to their most impractical, idiotic, and unreasonable conclusion. Your job as a debater is not to be right, it's to make the other person seem wrong. If you go into a debate with the idea that you are trying to be right, you won't win that debate. You are just arguing ideas. Attacks on the person are seen as bad, but attacks on ideas are basically the entire point of a debate.

Here's an example.

Also respect is this, 

"a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements." - Respect. Respecting someone that you do not respect, or acting like you do, is basically just a fancy form of lying. Which is great when I'm being paid to do it, like at work, but not so great when there's a neo-nazi in the street that I want to punch.

Then why bring up Trump when I have equally little to do with your president? I never once stated anything about Trump or American politics. I merely mentioned that immigration is a valid political point and that if people are passionate about it/care about it a lot that doesn't equal them to being dumb or racist?

It does if they're suddenly very opinionated about the subject without expressing any interest in any other political topic, in America, and literally uses the word gene-pool in a sentence.
