There goes your TDS again. Trump, Trump, Trump!
The rest of us are taking about free speech, the first amendment.
I give your side the right to lie to my face, and call what is truth, disinformation. This free speech is protected in the first amendment.
However, I choose to ignore the bullshit that you progressives espouse. I want to focus on our constitutional rights. Nothing is more sacred than the first amendment. Your side is not the arbiter of truth. In fact, it’s nearly the opposite.
Two of the very few threads I have started either here or at the predecessor forum have been demonstrably anti-progressive. My most detailed posts favorably quoting political pundits have likewise been anti-progressive. One of my major criticisms of Biden has been that he, an ostensible centrist, is too deferential to the far left progressive wing of the party. I am an avid defender of free speech and have deplored the fascist strain and cancel culture more recently prevalent in leftist ideology that shuts it down and ends careers, especially on college campuses. It’s actually illiberal, not liberalism.
Harris still has a ways to go to convince me her pivot to the center, and centrist governance, is sincere and authentic. Thus my present intention, as I’ve frequently mentioned, remains a write in vote this November. So, please, just stifle the “you progressives” horseshit. But it doesn’t affect my belief that while incendiary rhetoric from either side is toxic and unhealthy, Trump is the worst offender.
Well, I guess that's an opinion. Tell me, how many assassination attempts has Trump inspired?
