I don't know what makes me more angry, that the alt right has turned this pandemic into a political wedge issue or that so many Americans are falling for it.

Banned by Facebook for three days. Someone reported a post where I wrote about the trump family being the true white trash family. They took it down and I screencapped it and called whoever reported it a “Bitch ass, coward mother f***er.” The person reported that one too. Wait until my ban is lifted...
 
All he'll do is throw another old man hissy fit. This is a good thing. So much of the time, he attacks and we react. We need more of this. What's ironic is that social media enables his army of deplorables.
 
Amazing how quick he is to sign an EO on something so trivial but sat around on his fat ass while people died from COVID and ran this country in the trash.

There is a comedic art to do that which 'Media Intellectuals' are clueless about. They always want to peg a legal technicality on him and hammer it to death and not understand why the public isn't behind it.
 
Remember when there was concern that the Trump campaign was going to use Biden's "your not black" comment to hurt him. He couldn't even go a week without threatening to shoot the "thugs"
 
Here's what I wrote on Facebook that got reported and taken down because of "Hate speech."

They are the epitome of a white trash family. People thing of white trash as souther hick with a wife beater and a gun rack in the back of his beat up truck. Nah, Trump family is white trash. They live like they have a ton more money than they have. They take advantage of anybody not white. They s*** on the common man. Their egos pathetically fragile.

Then they claimed this was also "Hate speech."

Ha! Some punk ass bitch reported my comment. Where’s the hate speech in this? I’m not hating on any race, gender, or sexual preference. The thinnest of skin looks to have gravitated down from the Orange a****** to his Cult 45 members.
 
I'm still at a loss as to why they haven't just straight up banned him; there is zero obligation to give him a platform on twitter.

$$$

Though I think trump needs twitter more than twitter needs trump at this point.

We know trump can't lead. We know trump can't speak and make a coherent statement. (Shamelessly stolen from Beau of the Fifth Column on youtube).

All he can do is make one off statements on twitter to create division and give his supporters somebody/something to hate.

That's it.

Without twitter, dude is f***ed because tens of millions of people only listen to him. Without a platform, he dies off.

Fully agreed on all of that, it's just that it has to be pretty clear to Jack and Co. that giving him the platform is detrimental to the US, and it's not like he isn't breaking their policy time after time. A regular person who has a few followers can attempt to incite violence and they're swatted like flies on there, but the actual president who can actually sway people is allowed free reign to deliver completely unchecked bs.

I'm honestly surprised they hid his comment, considering he's said just as much f***ed up stuff in the past completely unscathed.

It is a no-win situation. You ban him, you make him into a martyr in the eyes of his cultists.

Honestly, I wish MORE Trump supporters saw his tweets. Fox News never, ever covers the crazy things he says. If you turn on their network, you actually rarely see Trump speaking, and if you do it is very brief moments. Sadly, many of his supporters simply don't know how insane his twitter account really is.

I think they see them. They just don't care.

I know people like my parents will never, ever see the things he puts out on Twitter. I know a bunch of others who will say "I wish he would stop tweeting" and I know they basically ignore it. I'm sure the social media algorithms only show them positive things on Trump.

The people that are into his tweets are beyond lost anyway.

But would they care if they saw them? I don't think there are too many out there that are ignorant to who he is and would think different if they really knew. They will do anything to justify how he acts. In 2016 it was "he doesn't mean what he says" but those same people still support him today.

Most of the people who support him and wish he would stop tweeting or stop sticking his foot in his mouth only feel that way because they want to feel better about supporting him. It doesn't much matter if you know something is wrong but you aren't willing to do anything about it.

You want to lump every Trumper into the deplorable category. Many of them are, but not every single one of them.

There is a major filter that Fox News puts over Trump - this article is the perfect example. They pick out a couple coherent tweets, but they'll never, ever see that he literally just tweets "CHINA!"


Not all of them are in this bubble, but a few are. Those are the people we need to start standing up, because we've been doing it from day 1 and it hasn't done a thing.

Remember ages ago there was some old lady on CNN who was a Republican who had zero clue Trump had really said something? Can't remember what it was regarding. Between Fox News and social media itself, there are Trumpers who have a very filtered version of Trump with all the sharp edges filed down.

Just turn on Fox for a bit. I was shocked at how little Trump is shown. I was stuck watching during one of his rallies, and Fox was "covering" it, but rarely actually showed him live. It was hilarious. They hyped his rally, but purposely didn't show it live. They'd show the crowds before he came out, but once he came out, they cut.

You are right that people turn a blind eye, but many of them are able to because they think the worst thing he says is calling Biden "sleepy joe".

Fox is horrible but its a choice that people are making to only get their news there. Can we really defend those who are choosing to remain ignorant?

Even if you only watch Fox you know he bragged about grabbing them by the p****. You know about Charlottesvilles very fine people. Even Fox talked about his tweets today. People will choose to believe Trump's lie about actually meaning that he was afraid the looters will get shot by business owners.

He has been President for over 3 years. If you don't know who he is by now you don't want to know in which case they don't deserve any defending. The change has to come from the country rejecting him in November and the Republican party changing because they have to to win elections.
 


The Wall Street elite always wanted to just give everybody coronavirus immediately. That was always the plan so what conservatives are doing is telling everybody not to wear a mask while the "important people" are behind the scenes taking the proper precautions. They fund the lockdown protests while they themselves are quaranting at home.

They want to let the dupes risk themselves for herd immunity. Then when it's all over the "important people come out to a pandemic free world and a salvageable economy.

It is a no-win situation. You ban him, you make him into a martyr in the eyes of his cultists.

You think those tweets would make them feel any different about him? I think this is who the conservatives have always been. Their response to this pandemic is proof of that.
 
I'm stepping back.. I think you all know I'm anything but a Trumper. Wasn't looking to make excuses for anyone. My point which probably wasn't clear is that the hate and division and "all of them are evil" is exactly what the powers behind all this want.
