"Let’s face it- we live in a depraved culture. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but I fear God may allow our nation to enter into a time of judgment for our collective sins," he said.

    Saying ‘I’m gonna be a dictator’ as a part of your campaign is more than a scandal. Calling your political opponents vermin is more than just gossip. Anybody who cares about freedom should be extremely concerned. This isn’t how a democracy is supposed to work.

    Do you expect us to not take the promises of politicians to do evil as something to be concerned about?

      I am concerned. It’s why I’m voting for Trump. I can’t take another four years of Biden’s Misogny and fascist tendencies. I can’t handle another four years of Bidenomics.

        You have it backwards. Trump is the one who said he is going to be a dictator.

        Trump is the one that called his political opponents vermin (and therefore basically quoting Hitler.

        The republicans are the ones seeking to increase the power of the executive branch.

        Trump is the one eroding trust in democracy by lying for years about the 2020 election.

        Trump is the one being acting like a strongman (a common trait amongst fascists).

        Trump is the one proclaiming that he and he alone can save the country (another strongman tactic).

        Trump is the one galvanizing public rage against a made up group of elites for his own political power.

        Trump is the one who said that there is a “Tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border”. That’s an incredibly white supremacist thing to say in case that needed to be spelled out.

        Trump is the one who is treating women, minorities, and anything outside of a heteronormative lifestyle as second class:

        • “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything”

        • "You have to treat [women] like shit.”

        • Discrimination against black people in his housing

        • Banning trans people from the military

        • Appointing numerous openly homophobic judges

        • He stripped the ACA of anti-discrimination law for queer people

        Trump was the one who encouraged police violence against minorities.

        Trump was the one who said a group of neo-nazis had ‘very fine people’ among them.

        Trumo was the one who told the Proud Boys, a group of white suppremacists to “Stand back and stand by”.

        Trump was the one who hired a guy with ties to white nationalist groups.

        Trump was the one who called mexicans rapists.

        It was Trump’s supporters who attempted to kidnap and possibly execute a democratic govenor, shortly after he tweeted “LIBERATE MICHIGAN”.

        Trump is the one who installed the supreme courts necessary to overturn Roe, which later resulted in his party instituting laws that turned civilians into spies that are rewarded for turning people into the state for “crimes” such as transporting pregnant women.

        Trump was the one who pardoned Arpaio for racial discrimination.

        Trump was the one who pardoned his own administration members when they were caught lying to congress, misusing campaing funds, doing tax evasion, etc.

        You have it so far backwards it isn’t even a joke. I don’t have any more willingness to dredge up any more of the shit I’ve saved over the years. But it’s fair to say that I’m only pointing out the tip of the iceberg.

              What I find odd is they have to tell about Trump. No matter the topic.

              How’s the weather?

              Here is 50 links on Trump.

              Trump could be the devil but I’d still vote for him if Joe.

                Yeah, it’s called a gishgallop. Wikipedia link There were a few reddit users that used the same technique. Just because they have a lot of links doesn’t mean that those links actually prove the argument, or if those links actually say what he thinks they say. I could go into a deep dive, and individually refute all those links, but that’d take hours, and I just don’t think it’s worth the time or effort.

                I’m not even 100% sure what argument pizza is making, is Trump going to be a fascist dictator or something?

                  His stance is we should be scared of Trump.

                  My life was fine under Trump. Yet when asked specifically how their life was bad, you get some babble.

                  They can’t name how Trump harmed them in anyway.

                  My trans friend tries to claim under Trump her life was in danger. Yet when pushed, he answer is believe your trans friends. I believe facts. Trump has always been a strong supporter of trans people. When Jenner came out, he was one of the first to say she can use whatever bathroom she wants on his properties.

                  As I said I have my own issues with Trump but as president, he did a good job

                  Yeah, it’s called a gishgallop.

                  No, it’s the natural result of how it takes significantly more effort and time to debunk bullshit than it is to say bullshit. Winter said some bullshit, and it takes a lot to debunk it.

                  I’m not even 100% sure what argument pizza is making, is Trump going to be a fascist dictator or something?

                  Winter said Biden is the one with misogynistic/fascist tendencies, when in reality Trump wins that “competition” by far.

                You’re the one who brought up Trump when you said “It’s why I’m voting for Trump”. You can’t even tell the truth about the conversation itself.

                  I pointed how why I’m not voting for Biden and said I’m voting for Trump. I didn’t ask for word vomit about Trump. I’m aware of his flaws and I see them as less than Bidens.

                  You couldn’t refute bidens flaws or your tds kicked in full force. I have little interest in talking about Trump. He’s not person I would pick but with Biden as the option, he’s the only option for me.

                    You’re the one that brought up Trump. So complaining that I brought up Trump is beyond childish, and that’s before your TDS name-calling.

                  It’s irrelevant. As I have explained multiple times. I am talking about Joe. I get your TDS doesn’t let you talk about anything other than Trump but I have no interest in that conversation.
