(That is SO funny! LOL funny!) And this “gotcha” thing comes from people who want to live in a Trump-created ALTERNATIVE reality, in order to bash people who want to live in the REAL world. (That is SO funny! LOL funny!)
    First of all, the people who support Trump aren't a bunch of militants. They are largely blue collar workers. Many of them are erstwhile Democrats.

Eventually, they found the “indiscretions in the Oval Office” scandal, and they impeached him for it. (This was REAL “presidential harassment”, unlike Trump’s IMAGINARY “presidential harassment”. And then the RRRs harassed Obama. And now it’s Biden’s turn.)
    Democrats have pushed a special counsel against EVERY SINGLE Republican president since Richard Nixon. The people doing that to Clinton were principally just getting payback for Bush, Reagan and Nixon. They weren't Trump supporters by any stretch of the imagination, or "radical right" people in any meaningful sense.

(That is SO perverted.)
    Clinton was impeached for having been found to have lied under oath in a civil deposition. Lying under oath is a felony. Trump was not found to have incited a riot. He told people to protest peacefully, and to be respectful of our great law enforcement officers.

In fact, after he was elected for his first term, and before he took office, a bunch of RRRs got together and vowed to constantly harass Obama, by opposing everything that he would try to accomplish during his presidency. And they did EXACTLY that for EIGHT years. Bottom line: Driven by their ODS, the RRRs gave new meaning to the “GOP” acronym; that is, the “Gross Obstructionism Party”.
    Obama never had a special counsel investigate him, even when he was found to be using the IRS to harass the so-called "radical right," which was quite okay with establishment Republicans.

    Actually, the FBI found that she was in fact in breach of the law, and then said that no prosecutor would ever prosecute her for that--even though they do that to people who aren't politically connected all the time.

    It was the Benghazi investigation where it was found that she was illegally using a private email server for official use in her house. The State Department routinely refused requests for additional security. They ended up getting Ambassador Stephens and others killed as a result.

    I think it's perfectly fair to say Trump wasn't prepared for the presidency. However, Hillary Clinton was just an establishment shill doing their bidding. Hillary Clinton had a questionable legal career during her husband's governorship of Arkansas, hid subpoenaed billing records which just magically appeared in the White House residence one day, set up a charity to sell official acts in exchange for charitable donations, which the foundation used to buy further political influence and pay off acolytes with overpaid employment.

    That's insubordination.

    She was only nominated because she's a black woman, and the Democrats are terrified of losing the black vote. If they wanted another meaningful first, they would appoint an Asian or a Native American to the SCOTUS.

But yet, the RRRs are fixated on Hunter Biden. (Go figure.)
    Hunter Biden sat on the board of Burisma in Ukraine, where war has suddenly erupted. The "corruption" in Ukraine isn't exclusive to Ukrainians. It apparently involves a lot of Americans too.

In REALITY, the Democrats do NOT want to defund the police, but they DO want reforms that will prevent unnecessary deaths (e.g., the unnecessary deaths of black people). ALSO in reality, many RRRs voted against the Democrat’s bill that included money to FUND the police. (So who are the REAL defunders?)
    The Democrats did defund the police in many places. In California, they refuse to prosecute minorities for shoplifting. They also passed bail reforms in many places, allowing violent offenders right back onto the streets.

    Yeah, even my 80wpm fingers are realizing this screed is pointless. The Democrats are going to get hosed in November, and they're freaking out.

    Trump is simply a sign of this time in America. There are lots of Trumps out there who play on the fears and prejudices of the mostly uneducated. Others hate as it gives them solace. Bigotry racism bias prejudice etc etc are part of the human. Consider only hate crimes if you doubt. The history of the failure of the republican party to honor and defend American values is well documented. See book below for a real lesson in knowing. Or stay dumb, up to you.

    Glad you think liberals are mostly uneducated.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    "TDS!" is how a Trump cultist says "You've just seriously spanked and humiliated me with facts and reason, and I have no response, so I need to deflect somehow!".

    The funny thing is that they think it isn't obvious.

    If you hear "TDS!" getting shrieked at you, immediately carve another notch in your commie-smacking stick, because it means you've just whupped some Trump cult sore-loser.
