President Biden on Thursday responded to former President Trump’s Christmas post with a religious message to love your enemies.

Trump’s unusual Christmas message, which he shared on Truth Social, called for various people he sees as “looking to destroy” the nation to “rot in Hell.”

Biden shared an article from The Hill about Trump’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, and added a message to poke at the former president.

“There’s an expression they say in church sometimes: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you,” the president said.

North Americans on the website will try to convince me that Trump is the “bad guy” but somehow a president that supports a genocide (coined Genocide Joe) is the good guy in this equation.

North Americans will then convince me that choosing from only two parties for decades is somehow democracy.

Edit: This became like Reddit where saying “why the USA, a democracy, only have two parties in charge” is supporting Donald. I’m from Europe.

No one’s buying your shit.

The stupidest part of this argument is you're implying Trump wouldn't support Israel the same if not stronger.

It's a braindead implication, but here you are anyway. Simping for trump.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

You realize Trump is much worse when it comes to supporting genocide, right? So yeah, the guy who supports genocide less is the good guy in this equation. Duh.

Doesn't even have to be a good guy to get my vote when the alternative is MAGA.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Ah yes, vote Republican instead, the party of peace.....

😂 How braindead do you have to be?

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Ight then! So where are you from, tex? Tell us about the elevated levels of freedom and democracy you enjoy! Tell us about the ~~dictators~~ leaders you enjoy most! You definitely seem to break the mold of the stuffy, low/no-information conservative. What's your secret?

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

You do realize North America isn't just the northern states right? Texas is north America. Canada is north America. This guy is on a whole different continent, probably nowhere near Texas.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Egon wasn't from Texas either.

somehow a president that supports a genocide (coined Genocide Joe) is the good guy in this equation.

They both do. In fact, Trump much moreso.

Biden is (rightly) getting tons of shit for it because he's supposed to represent everyone to the left of American fascism, which doesn't include supporting genocide and otherwise propping up Israeli fascism.

Neither of them is the good guy. There's awful guy and many times worse guy.

North Americans will then convince me that choosing from only two parties for decades is somehow democracy.

Most Americans agree with you (and me) that it's undemocratic and should change. The people with the power overwhelmingly don't, though, since they're on average much richer, older and more authoritarian than the population in general.

Also, they don't want to jeopardize their legal bribes.

Trump doesn't just want genocide in Israel. He wants it in the US too.

I don't know if you have Putin's dick in your mouth or Jinpig's, but here's some tough love for you: fuck off, trollski.

[-] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 11 points 10 months ago

Why would anyone try and convince you of anything? French citizens don’t get a vote in US elections. Your opinions on them don’t matter much.

[-] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

News flash, most North American don’t give a shit about your opinion to want to change it, nor do they even have any wish to know where you are from.

Go fuck off to whatever shit tier part of the planet you are from.

[-] cranakis@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

It warms my heart that so many have told you too fuck off already. Get fucked.
