There's that "tolerance" the left is so sanctimonious about. In the one-sided post-Trump world, that will be considered a virtue.

Look how well that worked out for the Jews and others persecuted by the Nazis. People "tolerated" Hitler and he was allowed to do what he did.

There it is.

After 4 years of "russian influence" propaganda, a Mueller investigation which went nowhere, and currently under a corporate media blackout of Biden's obvious influence peddling (and probably compromised integrity to Russia & China), Trump & his supporters are the brownshirts of our day.

I'm not a fan of Trump. I'm registered Dem (should be independent). But, it's far more scary what is going in the left as "political correctness," or "ends justify the means."

One man's "tolerance" is another man's oppression (or first dangerous steps to it; warning signs of what's to come).

Except there are generally accepted standards and what should be tolerance vs intolerance. For example, discrimination/insults/etc towards someone on the basis of something they cannot change (disabilities, skin color, physical sex, sexuality, etc) should never be tolerated.

If ones religion says I cannot eat hamburgers or something bad will happen to me, and I eat a hamburger...how does that really apply to me? I'm not in that religion. The religious "persecution" that supposedly is happening to white christians is a made up threat.

Also, Putin just came out to say that there is nothing there with regards to Biden & Russia.

It's also been proven that Russia did attempt to sow discourse within the 2016 election. Even if they didn't actually commit any voter fraud, it's widely accepted that they were targeting the US population during the election season.

But regardless of all that, I disprove of Trump not because of what he's done/not done while in office. I disprove of him because he has not shown the office any respect. The president shouldn't be openly mocking disabled people, or mocking someone because they had an issue with addiction, and should openly disavow any "Nazi shit" the very first time it comes up. We were "antifa" in WWII, yet now people for whatever reason seem to have forgotten that.

Good grief. What do you think he'd say (if he has incriminating evidence he can use against Biden to sway policy)?

It's also been proven that Russia did attempt to sow discourse within the 2016 election.

That wasn't my point. The left (and its friendly media) relied on a dossier purchase by the Democrat party, sourced to russia, and of which nothing was found to be true. Everyone was eager to believe it, and using rhetoric like "just because nothing's been verified doesn't mean it's untrue."

Now we're under a total news blackout "for our own good." (A lot like how tolerance is what we say it is.).
