ap99 The replies here are why politics should not be discussed here. You said nothing wrong, but the replies are ridiculous. They summarize down to something like "When did you start becoming a Nazi" or "When did you start liking pedophiles, are you also a pedophile?"


I dont believe in this fucking kid gloves bullshit. If you made a decision then man up and fucking own its consequences good or bad otherwise admit you are a coward and liar.


I voted for Trump and generally think he's doing a good job. I don't agree with a lot of things he is doing. Am I a Nazi/Fascist or whatever the term of the week is today?


> I don't agree with a lot of things he is doing

You simply "don't agree" with him banning flag burning, ending birthright citizenship, going after his political opponents and their law firms, threatening broadcasting licenses over speech, his lawsuits against media for saying things he doesn't like, him running a cryptocurrency meme coin and making billions, dropping a case against Eric Adams in a quid-pro-quo, and pardoning the January 6th insurrectionists?

If you're just a single issue voter and not a die-hard MAGA person, surely you can list some of the things you "disagree with" and clearly disavow those actions?


You are a fucking coward if you can't own up to everything he does both bad and good. If you can't own up to the fact that he is doing several grossly illegal activities including and not limited to turning a legitimate law enforcement agency into a illegal criminal organization then you are a fucking coward, plain and square. If you voted for him you have to openly fucking admit these are wrong or just man up and say you agree with it all. Anything else and you should give up your manhood card.


No but you are someone with utter lack of manhood who enjoys inventing imaginary things to get offended over such as imagining you were called nazi.


I see you replied twice attempting to manipulate me by questioning my 'manhood'... twice!

These transparent forms of manipulation don't work the way you think they should. I'm not sure what you think will happen. The only thing it could possibly do is push someone else farther away. You should work on that because it's one of the major reasons we (us voters) got to this place. Good luck!


Where's the manipulation? I am just giving basic objective facts. You can either declare your distance from some acts or say you agree with it. How is calling that unmanly an "emotional manipulation"? Are you stupid or something?


And as for voters, as I said, I don't believe in coddling or kid gloves. I don't give a shit about "feelings" getting hurt, if people are such babies they should shut themselves in.


Voting has consequences, and burying your head in the sand is no way to deal with that. If the accusations of fascism make you uncomfortable: good. Maybe you should encourage your side to take less steps in that direction and vote for better people.

As for the pedophilia accusations: one of Trump's main talking points was releasing the Epstein files, his AG "had the files on her desk", right wing media pundits were proclaiming everything was going to get exposed and... we get nothing. He now calls it a "Democrat hoax" and tells everyone to forget about it.


Yes, voting does have consequences. My head isn't buried, I'm not easily manipulated by loud internet activists that resort to name calling.

Idk about Epstein or the files, doesn't affect me or 99% of the daily lives of the average wage earner in America. If you think that makes him a pedophile or anyone who supports him a pedophile, well good luck with that.


I am glad you agree you have no problem with pedophiles in office.


> My head isn't buried

> Idk about Epstein or the files

Okay.
