    Do any of you that let this man live rent free in your head realize he hasn’t been CONVICTED of anything that would invalidate his candidacy? Indicted =/= guilty.

      It’s always hilarious when someone pulls the “you let this guy live rent free in your head” card about the greatest current threat to American democracy. Yes, we should just pretend he doesn’t exist. It’s almost always followed by one or more arguments that show they lack even a surface level understanding of the details of the situation. This post manages to live up to that ‘standard’.

      This is what happens when you have an uneducated populace. A lack of critical thinking skills leads to the adoption of nonsensical viewpoints based on emotion instead of reason. When those viewpoints are challenged, they’re similarly met with typically meaningless, emotion-driven responses (a la “he lives in your mind rent free”) as the adopters lack the capacity to respond with reason.

      Anyone with eyeballs and ears understands what this man is, what this man did, and what he evokes from his followers. Why do I need a court to confirm it for me to want him nowhere near the levers of power ever again? He’ll stop living in my head when he stops trying to take control of the country.

        literally be fascist and go after political opponents

        really? you don’t see what’s going on from the other side? LITERALLY doing just this? and you think the people the the R next to their names are the fascists? Are you in the market for a bridge perhaps?

          Lmao. I bet you don’t even know that Colorado Republicans are the ones to push the initiative to get him off the ballot. Or do you watch enough right wing nonsense to think the court cases against the man who openly admits to his crimes are political attacks?

          Do tell though - What is the Democrat equivalent of Project 2025? When did the party not only allow the idea of subversion of democracy but have a large chunk of it cheer it on? When were political opponents unjustly targeted? Why did the Republican led Senate committee release an intelligence report saying how corrupt Trump was?
