Liberals take everything literally and don't understand nuance in a conversation

I've seen countless "Trump promised to lower taxes day 1! Gotcha!" posts, and maybe I'm in the minority here, but I dont think anyone but the left thought Trump literally meant the first 24 hours of his presidency.

Anyone with a functioning brain understands that to bring prices down, it's going to take time. It is not within the president's power to regulate our economy. We can introduce bills and regulations, but the president cannot do it alone.

It seems like, over the last few years, I've seen plenty of left leaning people take words literally and at face value. I could say, "I've been so stressed out at work, I feel like I just want to jump off the roof!" and there response would be, "Don't jump off the roof! People want you here!" When that wasn't the point of my statement at all.

Just thought I'd post this and see if anyone else has noticed this?I would love to hear other examples of this as well.
