      Can I answer for someone outside the US?

      The only reason why I might be OK with Trump winning is that, perhaps, if you experience “fascism light” at the hand of an absolute dimwitted toddler, the damage might be reversible.

      Just think about that… Any country wishing to destabilise the US, and destroy trust with allies, etc. Trump is peeeeerfect.

        except, we’ve already done that. That was Trump 1.0

        Trump 2.0 includes Project 2025, which is hard core, far right extremism. The Handmaid’s Tale level of fascism.

            Their vote still counts the same as yours. Calling them stupid does nothing nor explains anything. It’s a thought stopping comment. Do better.

              As a single father of two girls, because Trump appointed judges to the Supreme Court who decided to repeal Roe vs Wade. Because he refused to accept the outcome of an election and maintains to this day that he is the duly elected President of the United States. Because he illegally interfered with military aid Congress had apportioned to Ukraine because Zelensky was unwilling to announce investigations into Hunter Biden. The man has lived his whole life with a silver spoon so far up his ass it tickles his tonsils, but he has you convinced he is on your side.

              Trump is a corrupt authoritarian hack who only wants the power of the office, he doesn’t give a shit about anyone else.

              But any criticism of Mango Mussolini is “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as if deep-throating his cock is the normal state of affairs and any dissent is treason.

              Okay.

              Because Trump will roll everything back and cause worse working and living conditions for minority groups, while compelling the GOP to push for extended term limits, arresting opponents and outspoken individuals under false pretenses and plain lies, and embolden the worst people we have in this country.

              Now, you’re turn: Challenge me. If you want others to do better we sure as hell will expect that of you. Answer your own question.

                  Pretty typical in my experience. If you want them to reply you often need to leave some crack in your reasoning that their cultish little minds can latch onto and run with to the absolute disregard of literally everything else.

                  Spit straight facts? Normally the only reply you’ll get is one made to get under your skin, if they make any attempt at all.

                  GOP play book rule number whatever: Make your opponents spend the time and energy necessary to dispute you. Then ignore that and attack their character.

              okay. trump supporters support a fucking verified con-man rapist who also happens to be a convicted felon. and yet they still support him.

              what the fuck further “explanation” do you need? are you a trump supporter?

              “thought stopping comment” GTFO that’s trump’s entire fucking platform: don’t fucking think, just do as i say

              and “do better”? how about this: go fuck yourself

      Because there are a ton of single issue voters who ignore all of the good he’s done because of the Israel thing, despite the fact that Trump would be exponentially worse.

        There’s no US politician that has any chance of being elected that would be any better about Israel. It all comes down to two things: Israel is our only real ally in the Middle East and AIPAC.

        They could literally be building camps to gas Muslims and expanding their plans beyond Gaza and we’d likely still support them regardless of which party is in office at the time.
