I appreciate all the folks who keep posting the Trump of days past, or what he wants you to think is past.
Wanna know a secret? You can just look up articles about trump from any month in his presidency. He's always doing something disgusting and exhausting.
People were completely tired of his antics by the time COVID hit. That's why he lost: he's boring. I'm just reminding people of how annoying it was to hear a new "trump thinks we should nuke a hurricane" every week.
Go to the polls even if you're not in a swing state. Even if you don't affect anything, it's cathartic to tell him to shut up.
Exactly. I had to explain to my brother that you don't need to be excited for his opponent. Everyday Trump was president be debased himself, us, the country, by invading our lives with his lies. Every. Day. No shame. How could you not be compelled to steer away from that. Instead my brother is making excuses.
It was wild having to wake up every day wondering what bonkers things the president tweeted at 3am the night before.
Yes, many people are racist. No, that doesn’t make it any less reprehensible.
Well…yes. That’s one of the reasons they vote for him.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
