    First off, what’s up with all the hashtags? Your comment looks ridiculous and it’s harder to read with links every other word.

    Second, MSM would not be villainizing other candidates to this degree because Trump IS a villain. He’s the poster child for scummy businessmen…a caricature, really. I would not be saying the same things because I’ve been well aware of what a selfish asshole Trump is for 20 years…and he’s only gotten worse. Did you even read Art of the Deal? He’s an embarrassment to the country beyond his status as a disgraced politician.

    You’re also forgetting that Biden handed those documents over willingly and without delay whereas Trump claimed he didn’t have them and then, when pressured, admitted he did have them but claimed he was allowed to. This isn’t even getting into the likelyhood that he was selling said documents to foreign actors. Now there’s mounting evidence that he tried to cover it all up. That’s your man? That’s who you think should run the country?

      You’re just parroting #MSM talking points here, not proving that I’m wrong.

      Then why was he so well liked while he was a businessman? Nobody hated him until the #MSM criticized him.

        I’m not parroting shit. Like I said, I’ve been following Trump’s shady dealings for 20 years. Clearly you haven’t.

        He’s well-liked among two groups: the ultrarich because he makes them money with his schemes and the wannabe rich because they are willing to do anything to get ahead. He was never well-liked by other groups.

          Do you have a source for this?

                I socialize with a lot of Leftists. At this point, Right and Left exist in different worlds.

                Choice of media, choice of story of the day (the thing everyone talks about), vocabulary… it’s all different.

                So there are things that are not strictly “true” which are taken as fact because they are needed to keep up these political tribal identities.

                It’s odd and unnerving but I think only when the two sides are BOTH extremist do we get actual options.

                  That’s not how I see it. I used to be a leftist and I know for a fact that all their argumentation is based on ideologies, where an idea is more important than reality.

                  While Conservative ideas are based on experience and tradition rather than wishful thinking.

                  Also conservatives understand that if someone else is paying, they are not free.

                  I will never agree to any similarity between left and right. it’s children’s minds compared to grown ups.
