    This is for all of you who think that if someone does not hate Donald Trump as equally as you that they must love the man.

    I personally don't think it would be good for him to be president again.... Not because I don't think he would do a good job.... But I don't think it would be worth the four years of absolute conniption fits that the left would have as they tore the country apart.

    While it would be very entertaining to see... I don't believe it would be good for the country overall. Granted, a brain damaged turnip could do a better job than what's in there now.

    Some people seem to spend every waking moment obsessed with Donald Trump. And probably when they dream at night they dream about him going to prison. It is an unhealthy fixation bordering on an obsession.

    And in their minds, if you are not consumed by hatred for the man then you must love him and be part of the ultra maga cult or whatever the new insult is now.... It is absolutely binary thinking incapable of seeing any shades of Gray. Some of us simply do not care that much.

    And don't feed me that B's about "justice"...the infatuation has nothing to do with such. It's revenge, pure and simple revenge. Otherwise you wouldn't be so willing to turn to a blind eye to the crimes and misdeeds of those in your camp.

    I've never seen people so consumed with hate that almost every thought that crosses their mind or word that comes out of their mouth is Trump trump Trump....... 24/7 365. That can't be good for your blood pressure. The best revenge is living well and not letting the man live inside your head 24/7.

    So in conclusion..... Remember, some people can not just give a damn. But it IS entertaining watching the continuous infatuation.

    Strange how you only take issue with people that hate him and not the people that spam every thought he has or every speech he gives.
    Not to mention he still pretty much dictates to the Republican party after failing to gain the majority of voters twice.

    You can say it is revenge that people want to see him charged — and it is because he has corrupted so much of the process and our institutions. Anyone looking at this independently would want an individual that was involved in so many plots to subvert democracy to be investigated heavily. Not to mention his groupies that are now cheering christian nationalism.

    That you believe it is “funny” shows that you do indeed “give a damn”.

    The left is filled with hate, and they will never let it go.

    They're spreading the hatred all over America, and it is not healthy for anyone.
    and yet they psychologically project that hatred upon the rest of us, saying Republicans and anyone that doesn't agree with them is racist, or sexist, or ist, or phobic, or hate hate hate, divide, divide divide.

    Follow your democrat gods blindly, and faithfully.

    Lol.....my give a damn only extends as far as being entertained by the constant tantrumps.

    If you actually cared about "undermining institutions" you would have had a problem with Hillary Clinton calling him an illegitimate president and her attempts at the Russia Russia Russia Fabrications.

    If you only want to see Justice when one party is in office then you might be a partisan

    Russia was proven to have attempted to steer the elections, and they are still trying to do so

    Its amazing that you feel a single person saying a president is illegitimate is a major issue but a president and his entire administration working to undermine the faith of an elevation, calling on their supporters to “fight like hell” of they will lose their nation, and then made moves to have fraudulent electors cast votes is just another Wednesday tells everyone all they need to know about your agenda (if they were not already aware of it).

    For a would-be president to claim another president is illegitimate is trying to undermine the election and to cast doubt upon democracy. I thought you folks had a problem with that sort of thing?

    Did you miss the DC riots on inauguration day?
    Did you miss the entire four years of trying to undermine the president every chance they got?

    NEWS FLASH, They've been doing that for 50 years. But somehow leftist media convinced you this is something new. lol

    There are no fraudulent electors. Another indication of how easy it is for leftist media to convince you.

    I think a lot of it was programmed into minds by media propaganda.

    Let's not forget that the average person is less intelligent than many people might assume.

    The real reason for the hate is the intellectuals were afraid. They knew this was a man without principles who would play dirty on their same level, and coming from NYC, knew all their tactics intimately. His two core policies on trade and immigration were very popular and threatened them. And, ironically he was actually more of a moderate in many ways, which actually made them hate him all the more, because he could steal away some of their voters.

    And of course then there was the rich white male getting the high position, and robbing Hillary of becoming "the first female president". That did not help.
    Throw in the fact that Trump has a little machismo, and the feminist females really loathed him. (Although that is based on feelings, not so much logic)
    For many males on the Left, nothing causes hatred as much as jealousy.

    I don't see now anyone cannot take a firm position, for, or against, a man like Trump. One could be wishy washy on Carter, but Trump? I don't think so.
    What is amazing is your belief that the left's loathing of Trump is done in a vacuum. Are you blind? How about...

    https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-complete-listing-atrocities-1-1-056
    Are your partisan lens so dark you just can't see? Just asking....

    Let's take a look at what this 'worse than a brain damaged turnip' has accomplished.

    President Biden’s first year was the greatest year of job creation in American history, with more than 6 million jobs created.

    Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate dropped from 6.2% when Biden took office to 3.9%, the biggest single year drop in American history.

    Unemployment Claims: The average number of Americans filing for unemployment has been near its lowest level since 1969. When the President took office, over 18 million were receiving unemployment benefits, today only 2 million are—also the biggest single year drop in history.

    Economic Legislation Passed: Most significant by economic impact of any first-year president.

    Child Poverty: Experts estimate the lowest child poverty rate ever in 2021.

    Expanded Access to Health Care: Nearly 5 million Americans have newly gained health insurance coverage.

    Reduced Hunger: The number of households reporting that they sometimes or often did not have enough food to eat dropped by 32%.

    Judges Confirmed: More judges confirmed to lower federal courts than any president since President Kennedy.

    Judges That Reflect Our Nation: More Black women appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals than any president – even over 8 years – in history.

    Cabinet: First majority non-white Cabinet in history, with most women in the Cabinet, including first woman Treasury Secretary, first LGBTQ+ and Native American Cabinet officials, and first woman Director of National Intelligence.

    Climate Investments: Largest investments ever in the power grid, electric vehicle chargers, and climate resilience.

    Clean Water: Largest investment and national, bipartisan plan to get safe and clean drinking water to all Americans.

    Cleaner Cars: Strongest vehicle emissions standards ever to save drivers money at the pump and reduce pollution.

    Wind: First-ever approvals of large-scale offshore wind projects.

    Personnel: Most diverse Administration in history – most women, people of color, disability, LGBTQ+, first generation American, and first-generation college graduates.
    No, again, you'll have to remove those extremely dark colored partisan lenses to see reality, but when you do, you will notice that given that Trump is a threat to national security, and he's about to run again, being concerned for America's future, focusing on stopping Trump is priority number one.

    Given the aforementioned facts illuminated in my above comments, there is no room for being wishy washy on Trump.

    Take a stand, extremely for or extremely against.

    The rational stance is the latter, FYI.

    People going back to work to the jobs they already had before covid shut everything down is not indicative of a robust economy or growing employment.

    And I'll just ignore the fact that 90% of your claims came with no link.

    Every single thing you notedof benefit to the economy is a direct result of ending government shutdowns of the economy.

    And god I’m so tired of hearing about how he did something to “better reflect our population”. As if hiring less white people is something to be proud of? Lol. You don’t want a better reflection of our population. If we had an area that had 40% blacks, should we hire less blacks in that area and should we celebrate it when we do?

    The idea that Trump failed because democrat governors refused to remove restrictions about Covid and then did so post haste once Biden got into office is laughably preposterous and absurdly dishonest.

    We have seen a hate for a person that not one person on here has met...

    Think it over... if Trump was to run and win again... would the country run like it should? We watched it turned upside down the first go round. Could a second round be any worse... Yep... if Trump was to spit on the side walk there would be yet another failed impeachment attempt.. The Democrat's, like now, would devote ALL of their resources (our tax payer money) and time to try yet again to get him out...
    When there was a failed coup attempt to remove an American citizen and then duly elected president by Obama and Biden and the intel community and not one honest investigation to hold those people accountable... then our country has failed...

    I don't think giving the left conniption fits is a bad thing. To me, that's a feature more than a bug of a potential second Trump term. Having said that, I freely admit that a Trump win would likely trigger a crossing the Rubicon moment on the left, where if Milley launched a coup to "save the Republic" or whatever, to prevent Trump from being sworn in as Presidency for a second time, the editorial boards of every major newspaper, and mainstream news outlet would support it, and anyone who opposed it would be an "insurrectionist" or some such nonsense.

    There are other reasons to look askance at another Trump run.

    1) He's too old.
    2) He can only serve on more term
    3) He doesn't seem to have learned anything from the last time as President and would likely repeat all the mistakes that damaged his first term.

    We saw it with Obama and now with Biden. You just happen to be more sensitive to it when you messiah is in the receiving end. The fact that you opened a thread about is proof of it. Trump was, and still is, an idiot, and he got what he deserved.

    Note that I never said it was new — just that it happened.

    -1 for reading comprehension
    Except there were, numerous individuals are currently being investigated

    -1 for fact based reasoning

    It is yours and other's inability to recognize a clear and present danger, that shocks and horrifies us. It destroyed the country.

    At this point it doesn't matter. Explore the hearts and minds of young people and educated people, and it is obvious this is over. The Blue States are moving on. America is dead. So at this point we don't really care what people like you think,

    FALSE, You have been clamoring on about this over and over like it never existed in history.
    You should get a grip. It only exposes the influence of media bias on you

    FALSE
    1. A George prosecutor tried to get electors to testify in her fake grand jury claims and they refused to be a part of it. So now this same prosecutor decided to make a political statement and host her own investigation because she got egg on her face. Nothing more. nothing less.

    1. Not one single state Attorney General or law enforcement agencies of any state have given this fake claim a single look. They know better.
    Why? Because those who have education levels above the media bias garbage knows these electors PUBLICLY took their claims in front of judges and when the judges turned down their claims, every elector in every state stopped the process. They only filed with the state because if they didn't their time to file would expire before the judges could rule.

    But we all love that you continue with your fake media claims. It only incites more voters to turn from those who are so easily swayed by media tripe.

    I don't give a damn about your hysterically hyperbolic opinion. You're the one that told us that you actually cried about some news about Donald Trump.

    Kind of half the inspiration for this thread
