If I had a nickle for every headline I've read that has "trump says"
This mother fucker gets entire news articles every time he talks. The least interesting and most predictable man in the world has the news reporting his every word.
I can't do another 4 years. I can't.
Please stop treating politics like a cultural, intellect, personal identity battlefield when engaging in this topic. Your "opponent" will see it that way and have their gaurd up, only listening to what to say to try to disprove it rather than hearing what you say. Your job is to change that, so they actually find themselves having a conversation. Asking questions, giving more level but still emotional arguments (not sensationalized like this(
This shit isn't helpful, it isn't convincing anyone of anything. In fact I find it harmful
It sounds like he is just whining but the underlying message is there may be more violence if he is prosecuted. He is setting up a threat of violence. "They are going to do what they did since the beginning" is a threat. What did they do in the beginning??? Hmm oh idk unite the right rally and all that jazz. And bookends with one of the most significant moments in American history where the president encouraged and allowed an insurrection to take place for 6 fucking hours while ignoring pleas from his staff, family, legal counsel, and fellow government officials particularly his closest.
But you have to be able to have enough context and a depressingly low bar of critical thinking skills to read between the lines in the article, especially when the headline primes you for what another nutty thing he says and then the reader just decides if they think it is a bad thing to say or not. Ugh. UGH. Thanks for sticking this out
That sort of coverage doesn't sell ad space.
