Your thesis is simply incorrect.

The original tweet is as follows:

> Man, y'all, American health care is some fucked up shit

I don't see how anyoe could possibly infer any of your comments below from that.

> Since you were responding to this tweet [^ above ^] wherein someone is trying to help their friend beg for money in order to try to avoid dying from cancer, I'm not clear why you felt it was appropriate to shoehorn in your own political commentary?

No part of that implies a single word of what you said. No one would ever interpret that from that text, ever. The original tweet is PURELY political commentary. If you post political commentary on the internet, expect that someone to disagree with you. I feel like I was polite about my disagreement, expecially so as far as Twitter goes.

There is no mention of it being a friend. Period. There is no mention of "hey help this guy". There is zero of the context you imply. The context you are adding is purely from her later defense of her profane attacks against me.

Without the non-existant context, it is a political Tweet with a link of an example. An example that I thought was a cool idea, essentially kickstarting your cancer treatment. I was arguing that what this guy was doing was actually a great idea.

So to answer your question "Like, seriously, did you think that? Real question, no sarcasm." As none of the context you implied was actually there, yes, absolutely. I still do. You post a political tweet, expect a political response.
