    Here’s a quick anecdotal dose for you. I was talking to my dad about this, and while this is still a false equivalence, it may shine some light into someone who claims they hate Trump but are voting for him anyway:

    Me: “So you’re just okay with a convicted felon holding office? With his talks of being a dictator for a day?”

    Dad: “Him being convicted in New York is the same thing as Joe Biden being convicted in Florida with a MAGA judge and a MAGA court.”

    Me: “Well it would be if Joe Biden had a business registered in Florida and it committed fraud.”

    Dad: “Its the same thing.”

    The answer is tribalism. We’ve seceded too much ground to the likes of Murdoch and Sinclair. Free to run their ever expanding bubbles as if it were the sole truth of the world. Americans lack critical information gathering skills, and these political sectors lobbed out of the media industry only serves to divide those who cannot discern for themselves. He didn’t even mention how paying for sex from those funds and hiding it is illegal, that doesn’t matter to him.

    There will be bloodshed this November. The olive branch has withered and died, and then burnt to ash and buried. You can no longer reach across the isle without giving extremists everything they want. And extremists have taken over an entire political wing of our government. Extremists own the Supreme Court.

    Get ready ozma cause you were right. If the people dont step up and do something Biden is going to fumble this election and then it will be the last. Whether its a dictatorship, climate catastrophe, or any of the myriad ways the Republicans are planning to fuck the Republic. We’re Julius Cesar himself, blissfully unaware of what awats us in the Senate.

      “Yes and if Biden was convicted in Florida he wouldn’t be fit for office either, he hasn’t been convicted in Florida, so what then?”

      You fell right in his trap.

      I know I’ll get downvoted for this but it’s like the Biden administration isn’t even trying. For them saying it’s the end of democracy, they sure aren’t going at 110% to defeat Trump.

        They just need to be louder about it all their successes on mainstream media and again not all of their policies will be in place until Biden is possibly out. So we won’t see the result until the bastard is in charge again. Its all one big vicious cycle. We are right where they want us. Its time to get crazy.
