I know what both are, but if we are to define what our government is, it would surely be a republic over a democracy. For example, if I said I ate an orange apple, I'm eating an apple, not an orange, even if it has some characteristics of an orange. Same could be said for democratic republic. Does it has democratic characteristics, yes, but it is a republic.

I don't luke how Trump handled the virus in every way, I'll give you that one. Depends on the study, but hydroxychloroquine has been effective for some, with all the variants and specific combinations of factors, it won't work for all, just like Tylenol or Motrin isn't a one stop fix for a headache.

With hundreds being put in jail for non-insurrection charges while Left media also claiming it was an insurrection for years, you can't belive that at all. Even before that the Russia election interference.

Critically think about it, do you really think Trump is the only one to do anything sketchy in politics? It's all a media and government circle jerk to make him unlikeable and ruin his name.

The good thing is that It's really is backfiring in a big way too because folks who can think critically see it's the Democrats so scared of corrupt, vile Trump they need to talk about him even when Biden won. They sure can't talk about Biden's efforts on immigration, economy, or war efforts, or even just walking and talking.

There is no confidence in our nation as soon as Trump left office. Stock markets plunged, inflation went up, used up our oil reserves, botched Afghan exit, wars popping up all over. I understand d you can be critical of both sides, and I do see Trumps flaws, but it is undeniable life during during Trump's presidency was better than now.

Bro. It's both. It's literally just both. It is a republic AND a democracy. They don't cancel each other out or anything. Dying on this hill is really not helping your case that you're not an idiot.

I don’t luke how Trump handled the virus in every way, I’ll give you that one.

Right. Nor does anybody with a shred of common sense who didn't want hundreds of thousands of Americans to die for no good reason.

With hundreds being put in jail for non-insurrection charges

They stormed the capitol, assaulted police officers, and tried to stop the transfer of power of the government. They are all traitors, every single one of them. Stop defending them.

If I'm a district attorney, and I have someone on assault and treason, and assault is easier to prove, then I'm going to charge them with assault. Especially when there's hundreds of cases to process. That's just common fucking sense, something you apparently lack.

Critically think about it, do you really think Trump is the only one to do anything sketchy in politics?

He's the only president we've had who was an actual traitor. So that's notable.

It’s all a media and government circle jerk to make him unlikeable and ruin his name.

Yes, those pesky media and their recording devices that accurately record the things he says and does. It's their fault he's unlikable and his name is ruined.

The good thing is that It’s really is backfiring in a big way too because folks who can think critically see it’s the Democrats so scared of corrupt, vile Trump they need to talk about him even when Biden won.

He's a fucking traitor, you idiot. And he's the front-runner for the Republican party. He could be president again. It's fucking terrifying. Of course people are talking about him. If you motherfuckers had any sense of civic pride or patriotism, Trump would have zero chance of ever coming near any position of authority again for the rest of whatever remains of his life. But, of course, the Republican party is a hive of scum and villainy, and you would rather elect an actual traitor who has systematically grifted you for years than someone who thinks that trans people and gay people deserve civil rights.

Stock markets plunged, inflation went up,

Yes. That was definitely Joe Biden's doing, and not the global fucking pandemic that lasted for several years and caused enormous financial impacts on every country in the world. You fucking idiot.

I understand d you can be critical of both sides

Do you? Because I don't think you do. You seem totally cool with having a woefully unqualified, incompetent con artist who has already committed treason against the United States becoming president again. Seems to me like you wouldn't know critical thinking if it walked up and shoved its fist up your asshole.
