   @sysrq @MK2boogaloo @kirby it seems like normal auxiliary do. when you're using it as an emphatic operator it does expect a verb next:
   > I hate germans - You *do* hate germans
   and you wouldn't use it with copular be:
   > I am in a thread - You *do* are in a thread???
   but it's not what kero's doing here, and then the purpose of auxiliary "do" is to omit the verb, so he's free to butcher the language (tabun maybe (I dropped out of linguistics))

     @menherahair @MK2boogaloo @kirby @sysrq
     if you say "so do you"
     it's an accusatory response
     in the context of someone performing an action

     @Ashurbanipal @MK2boogaloo @kirby @sysrq works fine with no action
     > He comes from germany. - So do you.

     @Ashurbanipal @MK2boogaloo @kirby @sysrq it's a copular verb, the whole point of it is that it doesn't introduce an action. you can't use it in progressive aspect:
     > He comes from germany. - He is coming from germany <-- fucking wrong
     if you want it to be an action then copular be also should be one
     > He is in a thread. - He is being in a thread <-- also retarded
     and then by your logic "so do you" would be a correct accusatory response to it

     @menherahair @MK2boogaloo @kirby @sysrq
     "comes" is the action
