Mate re read this vitriolic, skewed hatred filled rant and tell me you are being rational?!
I havnt once mentioned any family member of yours, and you've just called me a peice of **** for calling your cousin a self serving liar lol that's an unhinged statement!!!
You claim I'm strawmanning, but you named individuals, reprehensible individuals in some cases, as being anti Trump. If you weren't holding levels of respect or reverence for these people why would you name them? Me laughing at these people isn't a strawman. A Strawman would be, me calling you a peice of **** for laughing at my self serving lying cousin that you never mentioned to me once!
Plus with regards to your cousin, I don't know you, I don't know if you have a cousin, I don't know if that cousin is secretary of state, or a mailman? Why would you referencing your cousin mean absolutely anything to me, if I responded that my brother was your cousins boss would you blindly agree with me?!
I can 100% agree with you on limiting politicians power, I personally think the coalition government's in Europe are best suited to that, and I dislike the American 2 option system (although I probably would have voted independent my entire life, except for Obama 1, we were all fooled by that let's be honest).
But look at your tone, your vitriol, 'intellectual cowardice' your discussing Trump with a stranger on a rugby board, don't let your emotions run away with you, no need to pull a Martin Johnston and punch the desk, you can accept that I don't agree that Trump is going to end the world, destroy the constitution and mass murder immigrants. Your an extremist, and I commend your use of AI or research on all issues, but in trying so hard to win, your not trying to grow.
Would I have voted Trump? No, is it entertaining watching the furore around his actions, of course it is.
Re read yours and tell me it's anything other than a string of strawman fallacies.
No you haven't once mentioned them, but I have and they are confirming these accounts that you are now trying to dismiss as little more than the lies of politicians with an axe to grind. So, the fact my own family member also corroborates this from first hand experience, and you have called those who are suggesting it liars, by extension you are calling my family member a liar. You didn't refute the claims made in your attempt to discredit them, you attacked the people making those claims. Well one of the people making those claims as I've said is my own cousin so yes, you are calling them a self serving liar.
I named them because no other president in history has had a whole set of staffers come out and say they are unfit for office. If they are such awful people then, even in trying to defend it, you are admitting that Trump was woefully bad at selecting his staffers. I also named them precisely because they are not politically aligned with me and do not have a default political opposition to right wing views. You still have no given any remotely plausible reason for why they all said this except claiming they are horrible people with an axe to grind. That is feeble.
I told you exactly what position my cousin had an even posted an image of their job role from the time earlier... Here it is again
That is who my cousin was during the first Trump administration. You can flat out deny it as it seems you do with every other bit of evidence you have been given, or you can finally start accepting what I'm telling you is the truth for a change. They were working in the British embassy in Washington DC at the time, which involved plenty of meeting people from the Whitehouse. So let me put it to you in black and white, clear as day. These stories about how childish Trump is, how vindictive, how lazy, how hateful?
THEY ARE TRUE! It's not an act, it is the real Trump. For god sake man, Trump didn't even care about the possibility of Pence being lynched because he didn't try to illegally hand the election to Trump. How on Earth can you ignore this!? You think he was so desperate to stay in character he'd see his vice president murdered rather than break character!?
Yeah my tone is aggressive because I make the time and effort to properly list out an argument and then you just deflect over and over. You lie, you strawman, you reel through fallacies, you routinely just throw around "TDS" without addressing any of the points raised to you, you do anything and everything except deal with what's being put in front of you. You claim Trumps actions are just a caricature, I've now given you a huge list of people close to Trump who confirm it isn't, it's who he is. I've told you I have first hand accounts testifying to that. There is a mountain of public evidence on top of that too to support it and yet you still blindly assert it's not the case. It is the case, that is what Trump is. It's not just left wing people who oppose Trump politically who say it, it's his closest advisors from his last presidency who say it. FFS his Vice president and his chief of staff, the 2 people who work closer with the president than anyone else, BOTH said he is wholly unfit to be president, among others. You simply wave your arms, go "they aren't nice people, you don't agree with them anyway, therefore their opinion doesn't count". Don't you find it ironic that you accuse me of only supporting my team and in the next breath are complaining when I make a point of using the opinions of people very clearly NOT on my team to support my position, almost like my position isn't in fact tied to a "team"...
You see I don't find watching the destruction of decency, the rule of law and democracy entertaining. I find it sickening. I'm firmly of the belief that politicians should be held to the highest standards and politics kept under the closest scrutiny by the populace. You appear to not give a damn as long as you get a bit of a chuckle out of those of us who actually do give a damn about these things getting wound up by your apathy.
