I’d rather a democrat be president and be checked by congress than Trump. Republicans will let him run wild if he wins and they will not stop him. I truly believe he is an existential threat to our Democracy. You defend him way too much to not be a supporter and you clog up this message boards with talking points straight from Fox which is sad.

I’m not defending him at all, and if it sounds like I’m just parroting Fox News talking points, then you, too, my friend, are nothing but a Demagogue.

But if you are asking me if I think Democrats are the true existential threats to Democracy, why, yes, yes I do.

Do I think Trump is culpable for January 6 and do I think he should’ve done a helluva lot more to denounce and dispel the rioting in the actual moment? Yep, I absolutely do. His biggest shortcoming. But my wife came home that night after lawyering all day, saw the news, and the first question she asked was, why in the hell is security that lax, what would prevent a 9/11 type ambush on the people’s house when the people’s business is being done? And all I could answer is, great question, especially when it was the most well-telegraphed riot in history and even Mitt Romney vociferously warned about it.

Well, this was my response to your slamming me as a Trumper, yet again, which is so unbelievably wrong, but, whatever, you have your sidecar in Trollminator, who, when he’s busy skipping class as a psychology student at State U, he’s either going to campus protest events or posting on letsrun, but definitely not creating jobs, paying huge taxes, or donating to the poor folks in the Carolinas:

“You know, some two years ago, back when many of us were saying Biden was toast and on a downward trajectory, we were castigated as crazy conspiracy theorists who read too much NY Post (I had a liberal friend tell me this, that I was a total conspiracy nut only to apologize after the debate and confess he didn’t realize how much the media acolytes and Biden administration were covering for the man), but that was the very time for you to 25th amendment him and run an actual primary. And run someone like Susan Rice, you know, an actual pedigreed, respectable African-American woman who I actually could’ve voted for. True story. Just like maybe you would find “mushroom cloud” Condi Rice palatable now versus Trump, amirite? Another respectable, credentialed, experienced African American woman.

So, in your hyper-partisan, seething, drooling pursuit of justice, you now might get neither justice nor a respectable candidate. You need look only in the mirror my friend. If it satiates you to keep calling me M.A.G.A. or to keep believing that somehow a simple moniker of make America great again is somehow racist, tone deaf, and not empiricist enough, then you are just very foolish.”

Now, I’ve already explained the story of my attorney wife who really did pull herself up by her bootstraps and has a much higher IQ that either you or me, trust me. And I’ve explained why she finds Harris so contemptible and a very poor role model. She did not vote for Trump in the primary, and I’m sure she would’ve found a Haley/Scott ticket digestible, as any candidate like Susan Rice. She at least respects Susan Rice. If we lived in PA, for example, she wouldn’t vote for Harris.

But in your world, that’s a M.A.G.A. vote because it’s not a vote for Harris. My wife also can see all the Kabuki Theatre and all the bull$hit that has been spun over the last four years, and she’s over it. Unlike her View/Oprah watching mother, she can see through it. And believe me, your condescension and your little sidecar’s rabid denigrating of anyone not gushing over Harris is definitely not going to curry favor for an actual swing state voter, so you might want to tell him to stop answering for you.

Cool story bruh

9:00 thinks he's a responsible guy but then he veers into J6 conspiracy theory.

9:00 and his wife believe the Dems allowed weak security to lure in the rioters. That there is a 'biden crime family.' That Biden pushed for the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor to protect Hunter Biden.

When it would take him 3 minutes to look up the answer. Which is that the FBI knew about intent to riot but they never told the capitol police about it. And the capitol police had no plan because there had never been an assault on the capitol building so they had no reason to believe Republicans would attack it.

It's all right here, man. You and your sposa don't have to make stuff up. And don't pretend to be a reasonable down the middle guy when you are peddling cheap conspiracy theories. You are wearing respectable clothes, if you will, but ranting like a m'aga in a crazy trump t-shirt.

Imagine thinking that todays' institutionalist Democratic Party is a threat to democracy like the party of J6 that Putin helps get elected.
