MODERATORS
That is stupid when the person being themselves is a piece of shit. Do you think Hitler being his genuine self is a positive?
He was also in favor of gun proliferation and he contradicted his opposition to bump stocks because his genuine self is trying to play both sides.
He also constantly undermined them by saying covid was a hoax and telling people they didn't need to wear masks or be vaccinated.
Your three things are all stupid and you are praising him for being a terrible person.
Maybe it's a doomed experiment but I think it's possible to praise an act but not praise the actor. I'm hoping small concessions can lead to common ground.
I'll actually amend my first bullet though since I believe Trump is a genuine liar (which is contradictory) and say instead I applaud that he committed us to leaving Afghanistan.
