    I just don’t understand how you can be informed about politics and not understand the enormous gulf between the two primary options. Even for the examples I gave where you can say yes, technically the Biden admin did this too, the difference in scale is staggering.

    DOGE had complete unsupervised access to every government agency without proper security clearance or logging, for example. Trump was literally found in a court of law to have raped someone. Several people who had participated in an ICE protest but left before it became violent were sentenced to 30 to 70 years in prison.

      Being informed about politics leads one to understand that there is no such gulf.

      Like, you literally thought that ICE appeared less than two years ago, that Biden didn’t take part in any invasions, that Biden didn’t openly abuse power to shield his family from the laws he himself pushed through decades ago, and so on.

      the difference in scale is staggering.

      It’s not. The difference is just decorum and lack thereof.

        Sorry, I’m not interested in conversing with someone who can’t read what I’ve already said.

        It’s not. The difference is just decorum and lack thereof.

        …or someone who doesn’t have any idea what’s happening outside.

          Sorry, I’m not interested in conversing with someone who can’t read what I’ve already said.

          What you said was that ICE wasn’t a thing under Biden and Obama.

          …or someone who doesn’t have any idea what’s happening outside.

          When you were listing differences between Trump and the preceeding blue fascists, the things that you listed were also features under said blue administrations.

          The fact is that the only thing that is significantly different in this case is decorum, the lack of which you abhor more than literal genocides.

      And I don’t understand how you can see them do the above listed things, and claim that there is an “enormous gulf between the two primary options”. Yes, there are minor differences, but to say there is an “enormous gulf”, serously downplays how evil and monsterous Biden was.

      Liberals refusing to see how evil and monsterous their politicians are, is one of the reasons that other monsters like Trump keep getting elected.
