It's always weird how this guy somehow says stuff so alarming, but you guys always say he's being taken out of context

That’s pretty bad. By now you’d think Donald Trump would have learned as least some self-discipline in his public comments.
But what is even more stunning is that Democrats have managed to select presidential candidates that are even WORSE when it comes to making insanely evil and stupid comments.
It is disturbing, Shrack, that you snivel onto this board with an example ofthe worst of Donald Trump (which is admittedly bad), yet display no embarrassment whatsoever for the America-trashing, Jew-hating, violence-promoting, economically suicidal crap being touted openly by the Biden-Harris teams.
Stupid, evil or both? At this point it really doesn’t matter. There is literally no topic on which the dumb and unhelpful statements of Donald Trump are not overwhelmingly rendered irrelevant by the much more awful comments - - AND BEHAVIOR - - of Democrats.
You guys have actually managed the impossible: to make shere kahn’s “progfilth” label accurate.
There's zero reason for me to come to a forum that is 95% right wing rhetoric with 95% right wing posters where the mod is posting new right wing topics 50 times a day just so I could agree and nod my head. The amount of times a mod here has posted fake news has to be at least a thousand. I don't need to post my opinions on every topic here. There's just no point. I rarely post here as it is.
I'm a normal American. I vote every chance I get because it is my civic duty. I like sports. I own a business and go to work. I pay taxes. I love my country. What I don't like is the clear takeover by some of the fringe right that is happening. I don't actually view all Republicans as evil. Most people in this country, Republican or Democrat, are normal people that care about what goes on in this country. I also like to think that most people are good people, regardless of how they vote. I do think many Republicans have been bamboozled into being against their own self interests and into bootlicking anything good for corporations/already rich people. Are Democrats some perfect political party? Hell no. Tons of empty suits and nonsense and people lining their pockets, but it's simply nothing like what the Republicans have turned into these past 8-10 years.
As far as Trump quote: I watched Trump say this live. Sure, it can be taken multiple ways. It is a weird as hell way to say it and way too cryptic. Trump says way too many things where his supporters feel the need to explain what he was really saying and what he really meant. He has a real knack for doing this and it seems intentional. He wants his supporters to think they agree with him on *everything* and they can just use his words in whatever way makes them feel good. Then any time he says something utterly deranged we get the ole "oh he was just kidding!"
Would I love to have a different candidate than Harris? Sure, but she is better than Biden because Biden is simply too old and has clearly lost it. Harris is a bit of an empty suit, but I also don't think Harris is going to implement insane policy which is guaranteed coming with Donald Trump. Trump does whatever others want him too as long as they praise him for it and it keeps him in power. His first presidency wasn't nearly as bad as the next one will be, but a lot of the normal Republicans around him are gone now. He is now fully surrounded by criminals and bad actors. The bad actors are going all in on Trump this go around. There's also a near 0% chance Democrats sweep all 3: The house, senate, presidency. There's about a 50% chance Republicans do. Can't have that. Republicans sweeping and going on a ban-spree will actually send this country back way too many decades.
I'm voting to stop:
-abortion being federally banned. They're going to do it if they get a sweep. I'm not "pro" abortion. I'm pro people having rights to choose things for themselves, especially considering the insane laws the Republicans have passed on this issue.
-other citizens having their rights taken away
-Trump ending up with a total of 5 appointed supreme court justices
-our allies from getting fricked over. This new Republican foreign policy is atrocious.
-Trump lowering the corporate tax rate to 15%. Insanity when you have bills like we do. You can't just cut taxes. But oh wait, they'll "reform" social security, medicaid, and medicare and that's how they'll give the corporations their tax cuts. Taking from your grandma and grandpa (or in this case, some of you) so select rich people can get richer. Frick that.
-Republicans are trying to degrade public education even further.
-Dems were on their whole culture war thing for a few years a while back, but Republicans ramped it up to a whole new level. Republicans have perfected culture war nonsense with the whole trans push, drag shows, cat litter boxes in schools, etc etc. They've taken such fringe issues and made it nearly their entire platform to run on.
-just generally way too much one of one specific religious ideology being pushed into public life. I have ZERO against anyone practicing any religion and support their right to do it. It's none of my business. It doesn't need to be in public schools and all of this kind of bs.
-sick of Trump in general. Always in the news, always running his mouth, and always trying to pull some shenanigans. Always surrounded by unsavory people that are trying to do unsavory things. I've probably voted Republican more than Democrat in my life and I could never vote for this guy.
-I don't want to be ruled by a king. I enjoy being able to vote, however small of an impact it may have.
-About 50 other reasons
tldr and honestly too much to read
Probably my last post on here for some time. But there are my honest opinions. Hope you have a nice day.
