    You brought up the alternative, just because you didn’t say his name doesn’t mean it wasn’t you. Low effort cop out. Also I’ve been voting for decades now so stop with this patronizing young shit. Im probably older than you.

      The cop out is yours. As I said, I realize your awareness of politics doesn’t extend back much. Trump is no worse than Bush. (You know the guy that hurriedly evacuated the family of the man whom they funded and enabled to commit the worst terrorist attack in the United States history out of the country. When the attack happened.) Or bush’s father. Or Reagan. (You know, the guy who broke the unions sold weapons to Iran and violation of our own embargo. Funding terrorists and South America and all over the globe. Including that Osama guy that did that attack at the world trade center. Remember that? ) All the damage Trump accomplished was because of Republicans and their media apparatus that they’ve spent the last 60 to 70 years building. Trump is an embarrassing clown. But then so was Bush. Republicans, fascists are the real threat.

      If you’re older than me, you should know better than this. But I doubt very much that you’re older than me. There are people in their 60s. Who do you use Lemmy but they are quite rare.

      Also a quick addendum. Me referring to you as being young and an experienced is not coming from a place of patronization. That you feel that it is probably speaks more to how apt it is than anything.

      I don’t know you from Adam. That you might be young, enthusiastic yet the inexperienced. Is me simply trying to put the best construction on the situation. I would rather think that than that you are older and still ignorant. That is all.
