But “innocent” people shouldn’t need to worry about things like that…. Right Donnie?

Side note: does anyone else ever notice the lack of comments from the farleft’ers on posts like these? It’s always strangely silent and smug-free whenever there’s a post about Trump.

Wait are you trying to claim that Donald Trump is left politician?

No, what I’m saying is that they only crawl out of the woodwork when they’re something to say about Biden. One hardly ever sees the “far left” criticizing Trump here on lemmy.

If you don’t believe me, check any post that is about Trump in any way, and note the amount of far left’ers telling everyone not to vote or to vote third party. Then check any post about Biden.

Note how many far left people show up to criticize and suggest alternate voting.

This should tell you everything you need to know about what they’re really about.

I'm guessing fast lefters don't even click on posts about Trump at all. It's like he's not relevant to them ( especially the ones delusional enough to suggest not voting for Biden, it's like they've totally forgotten that means we end up with trump)

It's obvious for anyone that has a modicum of critical thinking skills. They're painfully transparent.

It’s more that we never had any hope for him.

It’s like how when one criticizes Israel, people like to jump out and say “ but what about Hamas”, I don’t talk about the piece of dog shit I accidentally stepped on earlier.

We know that is bad, and assume everyone else is smart enough to realize it, without having to say something self evident.

I don’t go outside and say “Oh the sky is blue” it is expected not a variant
