What the fuck? You think we want it this close?

I mean yes? Obviously not you but around half the people that vote somehow prefer Trump and Project 2025. And the people that don’t vote don’t care enough about it to get out of their homes and vote to keep democracy.

So yes, about 2/3 of your country seem to be ok with that scenario. Though I believe that you and many people like you don’t.

They're a goddamn cult, man. We don't even view them as American, just to be clear. They're terrorists that want fascism. The level of hatred we have for trump is bad enough that we are praising the attempted assassination.

It is important to note that we don't hate trump because he's a Republican we hate him because of the horrible illegal immoral things he's done to our country.

This is not about disagreements. Trump is a threat to America. That is not rhetoric. There is proof.

Yeah, you're right. I probably should've specified that for the outsiders.
