    I didn’t call anyone a Nazi. Trump is not a Nazi. Most of his supporters aren’t either. I did use Nazi Germany as an example of societal views changing to the extreme.

    Sexual abuse. Not rape. The distinction is extremely important. Now that I know he is only a sexual abuser and not a rapist I support him. A sexual abuser who cheats charities, is …

    Cherry picked facts? Ha. Being a rapist is a cherry picked fact? The difference between me and you is that I consistently apply my morals and ethics. I don’t support rapists and br…

    Clearly, they can be convinced of something, just not anything you or I might consider good. Yeah. I should have been more precise. The country deserves what is going to happen.

    The one who rapes and lusts after his daughter is the one who has issues. Well, him and the people who support him. Never thought I’d live to see Republicans, the so called party o…

    It’s mostly about willful acts of violence against innocents. This might be a nuance that is too subtle though. Bad acts and bad actors should be called out. Russia is the bad acto…

    Which of the accusations are wrong? Do you deny these well documented things?

    It’s not childish to call bad people bad.

    Care to point out where I said this or implied this? I’m opposed to gay marriage. EDIT: I’m not really opposed to gay marriage. But I never said anything about my views on gay marr…

    I didn’t compare anything to Nazi Germany. I gave Nazi Germany as an example of how what is socially acceptable can drastically change in a short period of time. I apologize. He wa…

    I have no desire to change anyone’s mind about their political views. Anyone who supports a known rapist and felon and who openly takes bribes can not be convinced of anything. I d…

    But if someone acts inhuman then it’s justified. Russia’s war crimes are well documented and they started the war. When you are the baddies then expect to be called so.

    You cannot talk about Trump without putting him in context. I can. I did. It doesn’t need context. It’s well documented the things he did. The fact is, the reason why we have Trump…

    according to gedpeck, nearly everyone in Africa and Asia, and every single practicing Muslim, is a horrible person... I said no such thing.

    Great. We are in agreement that a person who engages in odious behavior is not worthy of support. As such Donald Trump is not worthy of support. If you want to discuss Biden then s…

    Biden hasn’t been convicted of felonies. He’s not an adjudicated rapist. He doesn’t refer to his daughter as a nice piece of ass. He isn’t banned from running a charity. He hasn’t …

    it is that honesty and consistency isn't required to get insecure people to follow you blindly. I’m going to use this. Well stated.

    My personal view is as follows. American society has reached a point of no return. Something has to give before a new equilibrium has been found. As an extreme example look to Nazi…

    In normal times I would agree with you. At present in the U.S. I’d not agree with this sentiment. People who support electing a known racist, thief, con man, and felon are deservin…
