Trump is the disposable face of something much darker. He is a tool.

The world may never figure this out.

I would never claim involved conservatives are capable of learning.

Do not underestimate how little the VERY VAST majority of people know about government or politics. I recently explained blue/red, left/right, lib/con, progressive/regressive are all related and blew someone's mind. Then they asked "which ones are the bad ones" and I said "that is subjective and it depends on your views". After very little explanation, they were socially liberal but fairly conservative fiscally (keep in mind, this was a disconnected completely normal person just going from day to day). It is hard to imagine, with the news and all, people not knowing the basics, but that really is the default. They often only know what they have been told growing up and nothing else.

With violent criminals running the government, yeah, I kinda do. You can't trust police body cams to work when they come knocking. Also useful for package thieves and people that deface your anti-nazi sign.

NGL, I am for a future where we survived this and calling someone trump is the modern equal or replacement for Hitler. We already are echoing Rome.

Ok, I don't support these clowns, and I hate that this is the way the public is finding out, but isn't it nice that people are starting to truly see how incapable, incompetent, and corrupt our elected leaders have always been?

Hire contractors? They can just ask, I'll even link them the bad things I've said.

A small % are trained to, and actually do, kill. Which isn't the point of the comment anyway (except your comment proving the point being made). Also, your last line is incorrect.

“I can’t believe someone would be so stupid as to fall for trump”

“Everyone who works in a factory is dumb and lazy and should be doing something better”

Wonder why he got elected.

That isn't how quotation works. Reading comprehension failed you on the second point.

I very much can believe people are stupid enough to fall for trump's scams. Our education system is in shambles. For example, imagine an adult that doesn't understand quotations.

As for the second "quotation", I said nothing about "Everyone who works in a factory". I could have also included some positive examples, as those parallels exist as well. I assumed that was incredibly obvious to the point of not having to be stated outright, and would be excess verbage that didn't directly communicate my point. My comment was more of an indictment of SOME soldiers. People ignorantly put them all up on pedestals, but if you look around your workplace, you are going to see a few of those shitty people, you get the same among the enlisted. It isn't "everyone" by any stretch, just like in a factory. They should be judged by their merits and qualities not their job title. Some, maybe even a lot, do earn it, but not all and not by default. Idolatry isn't healthy, look at those maga fools for an example why.

To your last point; again, imagine an adult that can't parse information, makes only negative assumptions, doesn't know how to use quotations. That level of ignorance, persecution fetishism, and lack of critical thinking is a product of a poor education system and the poorly educated and fact-inoculated is how we have so many trump supporters.

Hope that helps clear things up. Have a great day.
