      Disagreeing with someone destroying the economy, spending trillions of tax payer dollars, and making enemies of our allies is a mental disorder? But wasting time making bullshit bills like adding to my Rushmore when it’s physically impossible is normal behavior. Got it

      Disgust at corruption and criminality is not a syndrome, it’s a sign of mental health.

        If you only care when Trump does it, it’s Trump derangement syndrome. Biden pushed forward with many of Trump’s worst policies, and Democrats didn’t have shit to say about it then.

          Politics is not about rational decision making as studies have shown. However most people think that they are completely logical with there political views. In reality they decide on a view and then find evidence to support it. It also doesn’t help that the “news” these days is mostly a propaganda outlet whatever party they support.

          I disagree with the idea that Biden is just as bad as Trump. Biden barely did anything in office. Trump is going full swing to push forward his policies. At least he has balls. (That may be one of his best qualities honestly)

          You talk as if trump is “normal”, ignoring the kinds of things he says, how he says them, who he says them to, his tantrums in all caps on social media, his lack of poise, professionalism, and diplomacy. The guy is abrasive as fuck. You must have bad memory.

          The Democrats didn’t but the base was sure pissed about it. That party is constantly under fire from its own base because of how much they rely on being the only option that isn’t full-blown insane-o fascism. The country at its core is broken and in a way that constantly reinforces itself. I do not envy the people who have to put the work in to fix it.

            The Democrats are also full-blown insano fascist. It’s the same party pretending to be two. That’s why they’re both backing this genocide. That’s why the Democrats always manage to produce enough votes to help the GOP secure their votes. It’s why the Democrats sue anyone farther left off the ballots.

              Why are you putting this much effort to troll when bots can do it for you.

              Your position benefits oligarchy.

                I’m just stating facts y’all don’t like, because they’re unflattering to your preferred flavor of fascism.

                I’m not going to be peer pressured into supporting either fascist party. Grow a spine.

              For sure, but the country has no other options. It’s like asking someone if they would prefer to be punched or stabbed and then claiming they enjoy the punching. You didn’t have “get a hug” as an option so stop acting like it’s there.

                So you want to fix things by electing the people who broke them in the first place. Genius.

                If two people are trying to kill you, you don’t pick which one to ally with. You defend yourself against both of your enemies.

                  That’s not what I said, but ai don’t know if what I say really matters to you more than acting smug does. Also, I live in a country with more than two parties and I do not participate in “strategic voting”.

                    It’s exactly what you said. It’s just not how you want it to be interpreted, because it doesn’t align with your self-image.

                    A lot of people are groomed into supporting fascism by being made to believe they are somehow opposing it by backing a certain fascist. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are doing this right now.
