If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that’s it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn’t morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

    No its not.

    It’s not endorsing him based on labels its his fascist dictatorial actions that make him a fascist dictator.

    You’re right about Suppression of free speech, that’s why he wanting to deport people who criticism him glad we agree he is against free speech.

    I’m not calling him a fascist because I disagree or dislike him I am calling him one because he is. It’s logical. Fawning over and defending him is emotional, and lacking logic.

      Wanting something and doing it are not the same. Trump did not deport anyone for criticizing him, and the First Amendment is still fully in place.

      If he were truly a fascist dictator, he would have dissolved Congress, taken control of the courts, and jailed opposition leaders. Which never happened.

      Labeling someone a fascist just because you interpret their rhetoric in the worst possible light is not logic, it’s bias disguised as argument.

        Except for banning AP at press events disputes a judge ruling they are allowed to be there? Funny 1st amendment being upheld. Or using cops to force their way through protestors for an photo op? Free speech wasn’t upheld there.

        If he were truly a fascist dictator, he would have dissolved Congress, taken control of the courts, and jailed opposition leaders. Which never happened.

        All false none of that needs to happen for him to be a dictator, when all the gop cronies are aligned with him.

        Labeling someone a fascist just because you interpret their rhetoric in the worst possible light is not logic, it’s bias disguised as argument.

        How do you interpret that you won’t need to vote again? Or the home grows are next, or ignoring the judiciary as anything worse than the worst possible light? It’s only logical that these are the facts, and it’s not bias. Bias is ignoring, or defend these truths by plugging your ears.

          Your argument relies on selective incidents and misinterpretations, lacking the comprehensive evidence needed to label Trump a fascist dictator.

          The claim that Trump used police to clear protesters for a photo op at St. John’s Church has been scrutinized. A U.S. watchdog found that the decision to clear the area was made to install fencing, not for the photo opportunity.

          How do you interpret that you won’t need to vote again? ​ Please show me proof that we won’t be able to vote again.

          Or the home grows are next,

            Duh?

            misinterpretations, lacking the comprehensive evidence needed to label Trump a fascist dictator.

            Lol, no, making excuses for this shit heel requires super gold level mental gymnastics.

            Sure thing. Why was he surrounded by guards for a clear photo op hahaha.

            Please show me proof that we won’t be able to vote again

            He literally said it.

            Drugs suck. Including weed lol

            I don’t care for drugs, but he’s talking about deporting us citizens.

            Cope as you like.

              Maybe read all of the “I wish the shooter would have been a better shot” comments on Lemmy. Maybe that will tell you why.

              He literally said it.

              He says a lot of shit. Doesn’t make it law or truth. So where is the proof that we won’t be able to vote again? Any changes made to the constitution? How come every single newspaper in the world isn’t reporting on the fact that we won’t be able to vote again?

                First term vs running for 2nd. Not the same. Also he didn’t need to go to a fucking church to take a photo op.

                Do you know what plans are? You can’t seriously not see the issue with this. Will this only matter once it happens, or the fact that he is even alluding to it. Nothing matters until it happens? That’s your argument? He doesn’t care about the constitution, see prior ignoring the 1st amendment, and ignoring the judiciary.

                It was reported on. He keeps adding more and more bull shit. Are you unfamiliar with the concept of the news cycle? You are aware the major news orgs are owned by like 6 companies right?

                  Nah, you all hated him then too. That’s why so much crying when you all lost to him a second time.

                  Do you know what plans are? You can’t seriously not see the issue with this.

                  Again show me proof that we won’t be able to vote again. Someone saying something, or thinking about something, or laughing about something isn’t proof that it’s going to happen.

                  Show me proof that there is a law or constitutional change that says we won’t be able to vote again. Or even a news article that says we won’t be able to vote again.

                    No shit we hate the felon con man. No one tried to kill though, only people that did were right wing nuts. Your lack of empathy to people crying when their lives are at risk is quite sad.

                    Again show me proof that we won’t be able to vote again.

                    Again not an issue for you until it happens? Then what? It’s not an issue for you that the potus even hinted at this? What happens when you won’t be able to vote again? Is it a “oh no one told me?” Or a “oh well” for you? Just because there hasn’t been a law passed yet doesn’t mean he’s not a fascist dictator. He said it, and if that doesn’t bother you, it should.

                    I shared him saying it. And here is more for you.
