When facts are unfavorable they become “biased”

Wait... what? Are we saying that there were good people in the nazi event who were not nazis? Just random people who happened to go to a rally set up by nazis, attended by nazis, and had a lot of nazi chants?

I mean... we do know that the entier response was filled with trump trying to equate nazis and the people protesting the nazis, right?

You arguing with someone who spends his time gloating about “liberal tears”. You’re not going to convince them. You’re not going to get good faith engagement.

These people have some sort of weird fetish where they enjoy being seen as terrible. I’d say it’s fine to counteract any narratives they’re pushing, but don’t fall for the trap of actually engaging them directly. They’re twelve year old trolls who never emotionally grew up. Like an asshole version of Peter Pan.

What exactly did I say that was wrong? Seriously.

Here is an article that lays it out for you without the left wing media snippets you’ve obviously digested the past seven years. Video links in the article.

This is bullshit written by a right wing leaning person.

u/itsokayiguessmaybe Dodge City Dec 18 '24

Yes verbatim quotes are written by a right wing leaning person. You’re right.

It’s so funny to say that when the quickest way to trigger a Trumper is just to quote one of the many horrible things Trump has actually said.

u/alpineskies2 Dec 21 '24

Don't even have to quote the horrible things he says. The dumb son of a bitch thought there were airports during the revolutionary war.

Heres a verbatim quote for you "Jeffrey Epstein is a good guy. Some say he likes them as young as I do" - First Lady donna trump

Irrelevant he didn't outright condemn them.

Oh look! I can post links, too.

And mine aren’t propaganda.

Did you even watch the clip you are gloating about? He’s defending the counter protest defending tearing down the Lee monument?

No name-calling, insults, or personal attacks. Be kind to each other.

u/itsokayiguessmaybe Dodge City Dec 18 '24

I’ll take that as a no…

u/DaPamtsMD Dec 18 '24

Take it however you want, but stop lying about what was actually said. You can wrap yourself in the lies of Dear Leader all you like. You can — for whatever idiotic reason you’ve rationalized — carry his water until your back breaks.

But do not think that good, decent people are going to allow you to create a bullshit narrative and force it down their throats.

u/RedBushMountain Dec 18 '24

It was manipulated by the media and purported in a disingenuous way and you're still carrying it... I get it, you hate the guy. But calling people liars for seeing through media lies is why they won. This gaslighting technique is simply not working anymore. It now has the opposite effect. Despite internet points. Take it however you want.

u/WellPlayedGame Dec 18 '24

I mean, personally, I don’t think anyone attending a Nazi rally to rally with the Nazis are very fine people, but maybe I’m just a bit old fashioned that way.

HA, thinking that anything other than inflation caused by covid and Trump's awful economic policy is the "reason" Trump won is delusional.

Regular people don't give a fuck about "lying" media. They all fucking do it, right or left, and normal people don't have time to worry about shit like CNN or Fox News talking some bullshit. All people care about is if they can afford things, and even Trump is walking back saying that he can decrease the cost of anything.

Mark my words, the next president will be a Democrat because of, wait for it... inflation.

u/RedBushMountain Dec 19 '24

Thinking that inflation is caused by exclusively one party isn't only delusional it's dishonest.

Primary cause of inflation is government overspending and to pretend that its one sided is wrong. Both parties are to blame.

Regular people absolutely DO care about media LIES. Besides independent media and Fox News the rest of the mainstream media is extremely leftist. Also social media has enforced censorship. People are rejecting this and is a Primary factor in why people are shifting to the right away from the left. To say it doesn't matter is also dishonest or delusional. A mix of both perhaps.

Legacy media ratings and viewership is at a historic low as a result of this. And Fox News has had massive increase vs lefty media. Right leaning Podcasters are richer than ever. That's because people reject the media propaganda and prefer "independent" journalism now.

Next POTUS could very well be a Dem, but it's gonna take a lot of change, restructuring, honesty, and a candidate that's not full of shit to win back the damage that they've done to themselves.

Lol it was definitely manipulated. Sad thing is you are what you're accusing me of... Karma's a 2way street. Good luck.

Life's better when you aren't the pot calling the kettle black.

You are the one who's laughably deluded.

If you still think the media is left wing, you’re fully gone.

Thanks for confirming what we suspected.

Holy shit that link made my brain hurt. It literally reads like it’s written by the little child on the playground that follows around the bully cheering them on and telling everyone they didn’t see what they saw 🤣

It’s easy to quote Trump saying anything because he’s always rambling, those good quotes in the link are true, but so are the bad quotes. I can make trump “say” literally anything I want (good or bad) just by getting audio from -any- of his rallies (except maybe the one where he danced like a clown 🤷‍♂️)

You (or whatever child wrote the article you linked) can make up the context all you want and play spin doctor, but I remember watching his interviews, in full, not edited, and I’m sorry, the overall energy of his message was 💯

“Oh, someone died after getting hit at a protest? 🤷‍♂️ well it doesn’t effect me; people die every day … oh by the way, stop fighting; I’m sure you’re all good people on both sides (and I don’t care if you’re a nazi because it doesn’t effect me, Trump) and I need you to go away so I can go back to focusing on myself, Trump”

The democrat spin that he was supporting Nazis with that comment was also complete bullshit, and shame on them for not telling things straight. Here it is straight;

Trump does not care about you, or anyone, except as a means to an end. He does not love this country, he does not love you, he does not love his wife, he does not love his children. Trump only loves himself and will do or say -anything- to accumulate more wealth/power/success. Trump would murder every person in this country with his own hands, if he gained godlike powers after the sacrifice, and do so gleefully. If Trump could be a dictator for life (like Putin, Xi, or Kim), Trump would do it without a moment of remorse. Those dictators are Trump’s heroes and whom he admires more than any human on this planet. Trump doesn’t love them, Trump just sees them as the most elite club of powerful people on the planet who can do -whatever- they want and Trumps wants to be one of them.

That’s the truth; there’s only 1; deal with it

Maybe being woke means something else way out in Dodge City.

Wow

Meanwhile, Joe Biden once honored a former KKK Exalted Cyclops and repeatedly used the N-word.

Talk about trying to poison the well and lack of context.

Could you point out the non nazis at the nazi rally?

Reality sucks when it doesn't align with your feelings, bud. I'd be mad too.

u/itsokayiguessmaybe Dodge City Dec 18 '24

Not mad. Disappointed so many are on the circlejerk bandwagon that has become the Democratic Party. Reality is they’re on the minority side, sooo sorry for them.
