Considering how freely “Hitler” was casually thrown about during the election, I think we’re well past that point.

    I am done with maniiuplative out-of-context quotes, like the other one about "you will not have to vote again". I've seen too much outright deception from the left, which were supposed to be the good guys, I am done.

      There was no deception. He said those words exactly: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/30/donald-trump-wont-have-to-vote-anymore-fox-interview https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/30/dona... Days later, he explained them. Knowing him, he could have meant them literally. He said he did not. Again, after the fact and after the global uproar. Those are the facts.

        I no longer care. I cought the left lying to me too often in the last 4 years. I am done. All I want is maximum distance to all of that.

        I genuinely struggle to understand a mindset that is done with “the left” having lied to them but which remains wholly unconcerned by the unending torrent of lies coming directly from the mouth of our President elect. Up to and including lies about his election defeat which resulted in supporters literally storming the Capitol to overturn those election results.

        They both simultaneously support Trump as a monarch, elected by God himself, and consider him a bumbling fool prone to lying, and as such never to be listened to. If I wanted to find the best evidence of Trump's deception, I wouldn't ask democrats, I'd ask his supporters. But they are not ashamed, they actually adore his deception and use it as a tool to dodge accountability. It's bizarre, almost a type of political self-hatred or shame.

  If you get on twitter tell me the ratio of death threats coming from the left vs coming from the right; or basically any social media. Certainly both sides are doing it but it was far more common from the right. Far far more. I do not rule out the possibility of Russian/CCP bots being the majority of that though

It wasn’t casual, we meant it in the form of Trump becoming a despot, it’s yet to be proven that we’re wrong or right, but we’ll know in 0.2 to 4 years.

  There are far better word choices that could have been made that would have gotten the point across without the hyperbolic language.

    It's not hyperbolic if you believe it, and I do believe he told us exactly what he wanted to do in many different ways and acts. That's all I'll say here, I believe my own words, and from my perspective they weren't hyperbolic.

      That's fine and you're entitled to your opinion, but using the word "Hitler" is going to be hyperbolic in all situations.
