My brother and I always get into it. He is SUPPOSEDLY a Demonturd, because our parents were. Hates Trump....blames Trump for inflation, high gas prices, etc, etc. But when I ask him when did inflation start to rise he shuts his stupid mouth.

When I start putting out the facts he just gets angry and changes the subject. Its not even about him being a Demontrud, because he really isn't. Its all about misinformation and ignorance.

President Trump hasn't even had a Year in office yet, OMG, people need to give the economy time. FFS, the country let Biden wreck if for 4 years, lets at least give President Trump 2 years to try to un-fuck it.

The inflation numbers are Trumps. They are this August compared to last August.

I changed mine to democrat. In Oregon, with rare exceptions, statewide elections are always won by the democrat. Voting in the republican primary is a total waste. The primary winner will never be elected in the general election. Voting in the democrap primary gives at least a little say at who will win in the end.

I dont mind him being an asshole, I'm an asshole myself so I can relate.:)

I mind that he's painting a very broad brush between "Good" and "Bad" in practically every statement and every subject, and "Bad" is defined as anyone who doesn't agree with him.
Its certainly not Leadership and its going to bite us in the ass in the coming years. I don't truly think every Democrat is bad. I think a few of their ideas are actually good, I think a whole lot of them are warped and screwed up socialists. But I dont think the majority are Antifa rioting and raping in the streets. Much of what you see and hear on the news is young fucked up kids and illegals who yes all need locked up and/or deported.
But Bob down the street who is as liberal as they come, does not. It doesn't matter if I agree with ANYTHING he says, once we get to the point where an entire segment of the country is the enemy, we're all fucked. Folks seem to forget that their guy won't be in power forever, and the next guy may decide YOU are the problem and use all the nifty fun cool new Executive powers for himself. Its not "agreeing with the enemy", its basic critical thinking skills that many lack which is what's got us where we are, its called being an adult.

By declaring ALL Democrats to be the party of hate, evil, and Satan’ for example the other day, again, he simply continues to promote the delusional message that something around 70+ Million Americans are the enemy. That tactic may be fun for some whose only view of the world is Red/Blue Team, NFL armchair football, a wild night out at Ponderosa, and 30 minutes of Fox News headlines. But its not reality. And its simply making those he constantly demeans become more dug in. The gap is widening not getting better. If true civil war is your ultimate goal, You go First. Let me know how it works out.

We're being fed propaganda and a narrative by both sides, but many refuse to admit it. "My team is good and right and would never lie to me". Really? I mean Really after everything from JFK to Covid you can still say that? We're living a narrative professionally crafted and coordinated.


Waiting on the "But Biden was worse.."

If we've devolved to that as our primary excuse, it really doesn't matter anymore because we've lost the country anyway.
