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.

Trump will attack them and try to outlaw protests

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's stating fact

It literally is not, you're just speculating.

You don’t get change by replacing the status quo guy with a straight up fascist.

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 literally is not, you're just speculating.

It's fact, based on his track record.

Fascism is the status quo.

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’s fact, based on his track record.

It literally hasn't happened. It by definition isn't a fact.

Maybe, but I’ll take “maybe fascism” over full on Christofascism.

And that makes you a fascist.

At least Biden’s not tear gassing protesters

.... Are you... Are you serious? Have you not read any news? He is literally helping to massacre tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
