    Okay, so you really are like those news organizations giving the air time to climate deniers. “Just airing the opposing view,” even though that view is bullshit and destructive.

    Got it, thanks for the clarification.

      Destructive in YOUR point of view. You do realize that almost half the voting public actually likes him, right? So not everyone thinks he’s destructive.

      I get it. You don’t like him. And that’s fine. Others do. And that’s fine too.

      Just realize that not everyone shares your opinion. Welcome to Democracy. Thanks, friend! :)

        And you realize that a hunk of his popularity is because of blatant, I mean extremely blatant, propaganda, right? You have outlets like Fox refusing to run anything negative and continuing to air verifiably false information, and they aren’t the worst offender, just the most popular.

        You could have said the exact same stuff about the climate deniers. Almost half of people believed them, so they couldn’t be wrong. It’s just an opinion that they’re harmful. There’s nothing illegal about airing their nonsense.

        Again, you do you, but let’s be up front about what you’re about here.

        No, the fact that so many people like a dangerous fascist and wanna-be dictator is not “fine, too”.
