He's not my adversary. He's an asshole I would rather not exist and is the epitome of stupidity. He doesn't have strengths. He bought fame and sucks at life. I don't need to acknowledge him as anything other than the scum that represents more scum. And you sound like you support him more than you dislike him.
I don't support Trump. I don't think there's anything that could happen that would make me vote Trump instead of literally any Democratic candidate. Even that aside, I really hate narcissists.
But you're living in a bubble if you don't want to acknowledge how he got this far, and you lash out any one that tries to break it. Way too much of the Democrat party does. It's how they lost, and could lose again.
Saying he's dumb as hell isn't saying he's not a clear and present danger to democracy. It's just saying he's dumb as hell. A person can be dumb and dangerous at the same time.
I'm not living in anything. You don't get it. I'm not a public figure. I'm just some person on the Internet. There is no need for me to see any good in a person. And he is that person.
Yet you're here commenting on Trump news, posting what you think he's like, and you have an interest in the Democrats winning.
I guess it doesn't matter much one way or another on Lemmy (we won't find many Trump enthusiasts to argue wtih here), but I feel that critcism of him can be much stronger if you look into his history instead of willingly ignoring it, and see what he's like.
What does that have to do with anything? You are commenting on how much we should respect him. I don't think we should. For any reason. He isn't against me. I don't need to respect a goddamn thing about him. And those that do are mentally ill.
Not respect, understand.
I'm a firm believer that we should make every attempt to understand what we hate.
What are you on about? I don't need to understand stupidity. It shouldn't be put on a pedestal to examine. When people say racist shit, it ain't a strength. When they convince people to follow they aren't wise. They are a predator being a piece of shit.
