Why would people downvote this? Its damn important that everyone sees this bullshit!
because they don't like my username. they don't care about facts, they care about making a point for fake internet points
No, that's not why, but you keep telling yourself that.
Ok, then why
Because you support fascists
I don't
You support musk and trump, you support fascists and nazis
But they're not fascists or nazis
I see why your posts are getting downvoted now. Pretending like Trump is not a fascist is delusional and dangerous at best...
I'm not "pretending" though. I don't believe he's a fascist.
If it talks like a fascist, acts like a fascist, hunts minorities and abolishes democracy like a fascist, its probably a fascist.
And if it isnt, what difference does it make?
Agreed. But Trump doesn't do those things
Fascist.
Maybe you don’t know what it means?
I don't believe Trump is a fascist. ap news and reuters don't call him a fascist. I get that you think that. That's your right. Just as it's my right to disagree with you
As I said already, AP and Reuters don’t need to call him a fascist. He is one by his actions. Just like I don’t call my neighbor a liberal when I address him or speak with him, I just call him Jay.
I sincerely hope this puts an end to your bad faith attempts to stir up arguments as I don’t believe you should have any logical response that can carry any weight whatsoever.
Be done with this.
In your opinion. Not everyone shares your opinion. You have a right to your opinion. I have a right to mine.
I'm not attempting to argue. I'm saying that just becuase you and most of Lemmy have an opinion that he's a fascist, doesn't make it a fact. I'll wait for AP News or Reuters to say that before I believe. thx
It’s not my opinion. I shared the definition of fascism. He embodies that definition word for word.
His is a fascist. BY DEFINITION- and this is empirically factual.
That you disagree, is an OPINION.
I don't think he's a fascist. And there is nothing wrong with me thinking that. Lots of people disagree with you and that's why he's president. You can be as mad as you want.
The fact is, I don't share your opinion. Accept it. You haven't changed my mind. He's still president. And people are allowed to post news articles about him. Even if you hate him.
Those are facts. Move on. You're just repeating the same thing over and over. You're not going to change your mind. And I'm not either. It's ok. Move on.
Except he does
Except they are.
Your evidence is mind blowing
really?
You've made a believer out of me /s
(That /s means I wasn't serious, it's short for "that was sarcasm" just getting ahead of your bullshit early)
If he's such a fascist, then how come AP news or Reuters doesn't call him a fascist? Do you know more than they do?
There's less political backlash when I say it. I couldn't give a rat's ass about alienating you. You know this but you bring nothing but bad faith.
Says the person who admitting to making up russian asset bs, and admitted to saying it just to troll. lmao
If I thought there was hope for a real conversation, you might get an ounce of respect. But you sold out long before I showed up.
How did I sell out?
By believing the lies. Willingly. Repeatedly. Publicly.
Your lack of critical thinking and accountability towards those gutting our government is willfully delusional. If you're not a Russian asset, you're a useful idiot.
You've already admitted that you use the "russian asset" insult as a way to troll.
Because AP News and Reuters are two of the most politically neutral sources that exist.
Their not calling Trump a fascists is not the standard used to validate truth. Trump is a fascist by definition. This is not up for debate.
Exactly. So if they would have no problems calling Trump a fascist if they believed he were one. Because they report FACTS and not OPINION. So if Trump being a fascist were a fact, they'd say it.
I’ll entertain your bad faith argument once more and then I’m done:
Reuters and AP don’t need to call him a fascist. He already is one by his actions. Just like they don’t need to tell us a non-profit is a liberal organization when reporting on their efforts.
They are by their actions.
They are
Yup
Yup
Yup
