    Of course they are.
    And I would've posted the same stuff if it happened the other way around.

    Although you've gotta admit we've never seen the media doing this to Biden or Obama, right?.

    Surely this must have contributed in some way to what took place yesterday, right?.

    Might as well cancel the election now. Trump can't lose.

    All the incendiary s--- spewed by the msm and dems over the years have definitely contributed to this. It was the inevitable result. It only took one schizo to take it seriously for this to happen

    But it's always the media that leans towards the left, or center-left, that compares anyone they don't like to Hitler.

    The Media did the exact same thing here in Argentina with Milei (who is a Libertarian by the way). Comparing him to Hitler (even though he's closer to the Jewish community than any of the Presidents we've had, ever) and saying he is authoritarian and a fascist for more than a whole year.
    And sure enough, on Milei's first day, the day he was sworn in, somebody threw a projectile at him but missed and ended up injuring one of his security staff members, hitting him in the head...


    The comparisons with Hitler need to stop.
    It should be forbidden.

    Biden winning is more likely than Trump winning in a landslide at the moment. This election is likely to be close regardless.

    In 2020, Trump completely fumbled his response to a global pandemic (#1 issue in that election), did terrible in his first debate (people forget this), & still *barely* lost.

    Well they've officially lost the moral high ground with their narrative of "violence only comes from the right"

    Everything they have said and done to trump at this point has backfired on them beyond belief.

    If trump was going to win by a lanslide before this they might as well just cancel the election and give him the seat right now.

    Me thinks becoming one of the most divisive figures on the planet will make it so some wackos want to k--- you. But you guys love to play victim as if this guy didn't literally try to coup the US government lol.

    Maybe if people didn’t use Hitlerite language they wouldn’t be compared to Hitler.

    It's people like you two believing and saying stupid and inaccurate s--- like that as to why your country has so much division. Keep going and you'll have a civil war on your hands

    I think people jumping to conclusions through their own assumptions rather than on a material basis like you’ve just done causes division.

    I’m not even American, & both Biden & Trump shouldn’t be anywhere near politics. This isn’t controversial across most of the planet.

    I'm not American. I have no horse in the race and so completely unbiased. Just calling it as I see it. It's so obvious to most people outside the states why your country is currently in the toilet

    I'll agree with that second paragraph. But trump is by far the lessar of those 2 evils. I'd vote rfk if I was American

    Considering people are open to the idea of a brain dead zombie with his finger on the button when the world has never been closer to WW3. That scares the s--- outta me.

    Let's be real, there were no wars when trump was in power. When America is strong, the world is generally a lot safer.

    The American military was in more wars when Trump was President than we are in now.

    Reality is the direct opposite of what you believe.



    You think America was safer in 2020 than it is now?

    He’s literally been indicated by both the DOJ & state of Georgia for his role leading up to & on 1/6. He’s a felon & a conman. These are just facts.

    There were no wars? :what22:

    US was in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, NATO was training forces in Ukraine etc.

    Trump almost started WW3 with Iran when he assassinated IRGC General Qasem Soleimani!

    He also increased the US sanction regime with the Maximum Pressure campaign, whilst foolishly pulling out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran. The Trump administration also pulled out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia which was a landmark diplomatic triumph for world stability torn up. Then there’s the ridiculous tariffs campaign targeting mainly China but also supposed American allies. Trump is a liability. Sometimes he disrupts the plan because of his stupidity, but that level of volatility shouldn’t be near power.
