There are dozens of us here fighting for this! Dozens!!

Someone accused me the other day of being in my own bubble, and I was like: what?? The fact that I am here, in a place I disagree with over most things, means I am certainlynot in a bubble.

I didn't say anything about a payment either.

Do you have a source for Trump paying off the j6 protesters?

The issue over his crimes are whether they're actually federal crimes or not.

Picking good arguments from both candidates isn't allowing one to walk all over you,.

I mean, he attempted a coup in the same way Biden sent that kid to shoot Trump a few days ago.

You know what's more of a threat to democracy? Trying to imprison a political opponent.

I wasn't. The economy was far better and we didn't start any new wars.

I did read project 2025, but Trump has already said that's not his aim or connect to him. He does have an agenda, but it's not that one

Yeah, as a joke. Context matters. Like how I don't think Biden meant he wanted some to shoot trump when he said "put a bullseye on him".

I thought that trump supporters were Nazis and liked that trump was like Hitler, so what do you mean?

Not only is it terrible, it's an actual threat to democracy.

I don't know how anyone is surprised though. When you use words like "Nazi" and "existential threat" and "threat to our democracy" it can't be a shock when someone tries to become a historic hero for taking out the supposed next Hitler, and people who buy into that propaganda language are going to cheer them on and want more of it. They're frothing at the mouth, imagining they're on the right side of history.

I get what the Dems are trying to do with pushing that language, but it really is playing with fire. It was a 50/50 chance that they could get him ineligible to run, alive or dead, and they've lost each bet.
