MODERATORS
Those who scream the loudest are most likely guilty. This con artist ran on exposing the Epstein files, won on that platform and even talked about it early into his administration.
Why the sudden turn around? Are you guilty of being a pedophile in the same way you’re a convicted rapist, and bought beauty pageants so you could walk in on unsuspecting young girls in the change room?
Donald Trump is a rapist. Donald Trump rapes women. Donald Trump is a criminal.
Under Donald Trumps own rules, Donald Trump should be deported to a jail in El Salvador.
Donald Trump thinks it’s OK to just grab women by the pussy.
Donald Trump is a criminal and a worthless human being.
I agree, with a single modification.
I'm sticking with my preferred fate for Trump I came up with the day I saw the fucking Confederate flag streaming proudly through the halls of the Capitol:
Bury him, alive, underneath the Lincoln memorial, at Lincoln's feet.
Nothing but a small placard to indicate he is even there, something like:
'Beneath here lies a traitor, sic semper tyranis.'
Nothing human about him
You shouldn't dehumanize your enemies.
It's important to acknowledge that humans are capable of great evil.
Yes but it's easier to call for extermination of non humans. Think of him like a cockroach or mosquito and stop or slap the fucker to oblivion.
That's precisely the logic that fascists use to exterminate their enemies. I'd rather not share a quality with fascists.
To be fair it's not precisely the same logic because fascism is a choice you make, not something you're born as.
ThePantser and the other commenter are making the choice to dehumanize their enemy. I don't understand the difference you're trying to distinguish.
Nazis: "These aren't people because they were never people."
ThePantser: "These aren't people anymore because of choices they made."
One could argue that it's heavy-handed or dangerous or something, but it's not the same logic.
Trump and his ilk are dehumanizing immigrants, people who made a choice.
Don't become them.
If your point is that Trump is also dehumanizing others, you won't find disagreement with me. I don't take it as a refutation of my point. I think I've made my stance quite clear and I'll leave it here.
My refutation of your point is that this was never about immigrants.
He is absolutely human and should serve a reminder of the evil humans are capable of.
Nothing redeemable about him
Hear me out as I’m about to defend Trump and his horrible party, but I’m not a fan at all and my post history is evident of that.
Either there is actually nothing substantial worth releasing and before they got back into power they overestimated how much the dems were hiding, but quickly realised it was a nothing burger.
Or they’re all the same and the only reason they were loud before they were in office is because it’s easy to be loud when you don’t have to do anything. The same thing we are seeing over these files now from Democrats and when they get back into power they too will do nothing, because again it’s either nothing or everybody is covering something up.
This is one issue where I feel I could say both sides are the fucking same.
Edit: I love that this echo chamber will just give out downvotes like candy but nobody really tells you why they don’t agree with the idea you posit. We are no better than TheDonald was on reddit really.
