    What I am saying is that it’d be great if US people had 1 percent of this zeal when speaking against actual war crimes that Biden is condoning. But of course at least he mostly knows how to speak so let’s just all keep focusing on Trump for another year or so.

        I don’t see any 24/07 media attacks on Biden in the same way I saw with Trump. As someone not in the USA I see Biden as having much more of a terrible effect than Trump ever did. Some criticism of Trump is warranted but it sometimes borders on some weird hysteria where it obscures everything else. He is used as a way to obscure many systematic issues that were always already there and took even a bad turn now with Biden. The focus on Trump even now shows that he plays this role of obscuring and diverting attention. Why do you think people keep talking about him even if he has basically no power now ?

          Now I know how Europeans feel when Americans talk about their politics. This is a completely unfounded and insane opinion.

          You know Trump said to inject bleach to cure COVID, right?

            Why did you assume I am a European though ? I am Arabic and I can assure you Biden is having more of a destabilizing effect on me than Trump ever did.

            I know what Trump said. I know he said dumb shit. That’s not my point. I am not saying Trump is good.

                Alright if you say so. I might be wrong about this. But this overzealous response I got here is interesting. I still think there’s a valid critique of Trump but there’s a hysterics of Trump that functions in a weird way. The obsession, even now, with his every move and every word is interesting and for me goes beyond the simple fact that he was a bad president. It’s as if he becomes the stand-in for a proper systematic critique

            Maybe just your reality ? I am Arabic and I can see the destabilization that’s occurring right in front of me due to the stupid blunders that Biden is doing. I have never felt that with Trump.
