    Sigh
    Big sides apparently
    Can’t say anything negative about Trump without “what about Biden” poppping up. Can’t say anything negative about Biden without “what about trump” popping up. It’s ridiculous.
    Trump is a terrible human. Beyond self centered. Uniquely willing to kill the party that supported him … bite the hand that fed him… to preserve his delusions of grandeur.

    Wrong. Lefties said the same thing about George Bush when he was in office.

    Bush was a terrible president. But he wasn't a sociopath.

    Your refusal (STILL!) to accept that the GOP elected a malignant narcissist troll with no democratic equivalent is duly noted. You're going to learn the hard way why we hate him so much.

    So this is a thread in which Trump is being attacked and you would prefer if I was not allowed to show that Trump is being singled out unfairly for things that other politicians also do? Sorry I am not going to concede that ground to you or the lefties. Why don't you just help them by tying my hands together behind my back? LOL

    The issue is that admitting that Trump is as harmful a force as he was in terms of how he treats people is that it reflects poorly on themselves because that is what they wanted. Very few people are willing to come to grips with that about themselves. They want somebody who is going to attack at least one group that is the object of their resentments. For some people, that is a racial, gender, religious, or sexual orientation group. To others, it is a profession, like media members or college professors. To some, it is people located in an area (e.g, people who live in cities). To some, it is people with a certain level of education. Or money. Or recognized expertise in an area.

    Trump build a coalition on resentments because that is all he really is. The problem for them is not that fact, but rather that he is starting to resent people that they like, not just those that they either resent themselves or aren't willing to defend because they are viewed as allies of those that they resent.

    No, you stated it like it's a fact that he will run independent. Glad you are now realizing that is purely made up in your mind.

    I think Trump is the only conservative who doesn't play defense and the left cannot stand it that he calls their BS out. Others who do this are Desantis and Lake, and the left will do the same thing to them that they do to Trump and say they are uniquely bad and must be eliminated. They just haven't been around as long as Trump to get the full assault but it will happen. You can already see it.

    Hardly. I never liked Trump until he decided to run for office. Too much of an abrasive New Yorker for my taste. I like him for his political views, not because I want to hang out with him.

    Also this has nothing to do with me as I am an idiot nobody. I don't think I am any better than any of them. Republican or Democrat.

    Says the guy who resents the CDC and actual researchers because they regularly make him look foolish (Covid is not a disease! Red wedding! Suicides are going to skyrocket in 2020!).

    What political views? The guy has no discernable political views. Just resentments. Under his leadership, the Republican Party didn't even produce a platform.

    You know I was going to let the rest of this go, but it is just too much the epitome of the way the left thinks.
    It's like you want so badly for us to hate you, but we really don't. We disagree with you, but we love you as human beings just the same. Well maybe not the same, but we do love you. Yes I love my family and probably most conservatives more than you but I love you in spite of our differences and I would defend you like family if you were attacked.

    OK end of rant.

    Well for starters I'm not that bright. I probably should have said was and not is. My bad.

    Trump could have stayed on offense without all of the lies, name-calling, irresponsible rhetoric, and the pursuing of personal grudges at the expense of even his own party. Many on the left will hate whoever the Republican leader is. Many on the right hated Obama, too. But I think the Democratic party would have a hard time trying to convince moderate Republicans and independents that DeSantis is personally the same as Trump or that DeSantis poses the same institutional dangers as Trump. There's a reason why a lot of Republicans are bailing on Trump now.

    I disagree, and I think we all get along way better out in the real world than we do on these political discussion boards.
