Is this what we can expect for every criticism of the Biden administration for the next year? All you are really telling swing voters is that their opinion is irrelevant. What do you think that will do for turnout? Why do you think the administration itself isn't making use of this brilliant electoral strategy? When Trump wins, you can thank the guy in the mirror.
Did I say their opinion is irrelevant? I said, like last time, Trump will attack them and try to outlaw protests while working for the highest bidder. It's not an attempt at swaying, it's stating fact. You don't get change by replacing the status quo guy with a straight up fascist.
If ever criticism is met with "But Trump...", then you are making their opinion irrelevant. There will always be a worse Republican.
Pelosi is currently calling for protests to be suppressed. I care more about what politicians are actually doing than what you imagine they are going to do in your CNN addled brain
It literally is not, you're just speculating.
Fascism is the status quo.
I don't watch CNN, but I did watch Trump call for the National guard to deal with protesters and tear gas them for a photo op.
It's fact, based on his track record.
Maybe, but I'll take "maybe fascism" over full on Christofascism.
At least Biden's not tear gassing protesters to take a picture holding a Bible for masturbating Christofascists.
Btw, I'm in no way a Biden supporter, but I'll be fucked if I support Trump.
It was also reported by the New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/us/politics/nancy-pelosi-fbi-russia-gaza-protesters.html
So what you're saying is he didn't do anything to 'outlaw protesting' he just did the thing that presidents could already do.
It literally hasn't happened. It by definition isn't a fact.
And that makes you a fascist.
.... Are you... Are you serious? Have you not read any news? He is literally helping to massacre tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
