Seems that way.
I'm exactly the same as ever - you and a lot of this forum have changed. You've gone mental surrounding Trump. You used to be on team rational, where you'd ignore the mindless screeching and overreaction by the morons and look at things with a critical eye. That is not the case now, you're as partisan as you can possibly be and have fell into the bullshit traps that the overly emotional screeches always fall into with slippery slope fallacies and presumptions of evil and guilt as starting places.
Not because of what you believe, I have no issue with beliefs obviousky, but how that belief shades your ability to communicate. On most things, your opinion is decided by the characters involved rather than the events and thats the same bullshit we posted against for years. Its Punch and Judy politics.
And another thing - you ask why I "defend Trump". I dont defend Trump. In fact I almost never actually talk about Trump. What I do is point out when other people are making bad points or cherrypicking or just saying the most ridiculous shit. This is what I do in a lot of threads and what you used to do aswell.
But thats not enough now for you and the rest. Any form of dissent from the position that Trump is literally the worst thing ever means that you're secretly a Nazi or something. And that's bollocks, is always bollocks and will always be bollocks.
What happened is that you joined the zealots and now share the same problems that all the zealots have about purity of opinion.
I've stayed detached and at least attempted to continue to point out the shitposts, exaggeration, half truths and outright lies when they occur. And obviously as a forum inhabited exclusively by anti-Trump rather than anti-Biden zealots then thats where the majority of posts land. If the forum were filled with Trunp supporters or QAnon weirdos ir whatever then I'd be doing exactly the same thing. The only difference us that you'd be doing it too.
Don’t you dare lecture the rest of the forum on this subject. Those alt right forums and websites you spend your time on have poisoned your mind.
if you can’t recognise the danger that this man poses to not only the states but to the world, then you’re a moron. Let’s assume that you have no morals yourself so you’re prepared to ignore the fact that he represents and promotes every single dark and dangerous element of human nature: mocking the weak, denigrating women, hating foreigners, insulting his rivals like a child, inciting and stoking division, the normalising of barefaced lying, The arselicking of dictators and a thousand other ugly traits.
let’s even ignore his stupidity and incompetence which is available in pretty much any text written by anybody who’s been int he White House who is not in his pocket. They’ve all spent four years trying to educate him and curb his baser instincts. This man has the nuclear button for gods sake,
You have the gall to present yourself as some evangelist of science, which I actually admired in you at one point, Yet you repeatedly stand up for this man who denies climate change, denies vaccines and denies the coronavirus. Just this fact alone should make any same person, even if they are utterly devoid of morals, terrified of this man being the most powerful in the world.
And you talk of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” like some 18 year old back bedroom nazi with a gun fetish? Fuck off. He’s rotten to his core. I told you yesterday, when you were defending another right wing piece of amoral shit, you’ve jumped the shark. You’ve gone down the rabbit hole. You seriously need to have a long hard look at yourself and stay away from whichever dark and sinister corners of the web you’ve been lurking in.
I can’t reply because I’m going to work soon and I’ve thrown this together over my coffee. And my days of fighting for the last word on a forum are over. But you need telling what you’ve become and I’m glad that other posters are seeing through you as well as me. And the veil of plausible deniability you throw over it all is totally transparent.
