Just because Hillary Clinton sucks doesn’t mean trump is good. Just because Europe let in too many immigrants doesn’t mean trump is good. Just because Obama was weak on foreign policy doesn’t mean trump is good. Just because the west has debt doesn’t mean trump is good. Just because things aren’t perfect and 100% peachy and idyllic all the time doesn’t mean trump is good.
Trump has brazenly lied on many occasions, even when caught he simply stares you in the face and lies. “I never said I would pay the legal fees of that protester”, “I never said women should be punished for having an abortion”, “I never said I would order US troops to violate the law”… “I never made fun of that disabled reporter”, …And now of course from his campaign, “No, his wife didn’t blatantly plagerize Michelle Obama’s speech”.
This kind of immaturity is contagious.
Trump said he wants to have “religious tests”, build a giant fucking wall, institute trade protectionism, kill family members of terrorists, expand torture, track Muslims in a database, turn US foreign policy of military support for allies into a mafia game of demanding protection fees, give many more countries nuclear weapons… We’re talking about cutting down the US in size of global influence and economy, as if this is somehow ideal. Trump blames Obama for cutting down the US economically and in influence but this is essentially Trump’s own plan.
Trump rejects the value of individual treatment and valuing the individual over their group status, in particular with groups that are not chosen; therefore he rejects the basis of the principle of freedom, which helps to explain his fascist appeal.
Just because you’re scared or upset about things doesn’t mean you should elect Hitler.
I’m sick of all this fucking excluded middle fallacy, otherwise known as black and white thinking. What the fuck has happened to these masses of people anyway, to buy into this nonsense?
“I want to kill the family members of terrorists (innocent men, women and children)”. The fact that this statement alone didn’t end Trump’s campaign immediately only speaks to the deep insanity in anyone who could still support him.
