The bigger issue is that you’re so full of yourself that you think you’re above it all simply because you’re attempting to “both sides” the situation. Worse still is that you’ve had to refute the evidence of your eyes and ears to do so.

“No, the people who tried to overthrow our democracy aren’t the people who tried to overthrow our democracy. The really attempt to overthrow democracy is the people calling out trump for trying to overthrow our democracy! I’m so smart and data driven!”

Can you even hear yourself?

No pretence needed. Overturning roe vs wade through hiring corrupt, paid for judges doesn’t need any help. The evidence of your eyes and ears should speak for itself. However, the problem is that you’ve succumb to the cult and your mask has slipped. Just because you’ve fallen for it doesn’t mean the rest of us will.

I get that it sounds like I like the smell of my farts but I am just very rational, which is not always a good trait.

I am not going to vote for trump, and I am not part of his cult, but not being in a cult I can see what you cult is saying and what their cult is saying and I think I am close to what the truth is. The people that told you all the negative things you believe also told you Biden was “sharp as a tack”, why do you believe them still?

Well, you can declare yourself to be thus and such but far its worse than just liking the smell of your own farts. Its close to that but if you also add presuming those that don’t agree that your farts smell like roses aren’t rational.

I’m not even American. So, I’m not part of either of the two cults. I don’t expect someone wrestling a pig in shit not to get messy. It would be irrational not to. If one is being seen as sharpe as a tack, then both are.

Speaking of being rational, how rational is it to change my option on the whole of the worlds media on the one story you’ve cherry picked?

Please don’t think I’m not noticing you avoiding the issues I’ve raised with trump, all of which being far worse than being a bit old.

Why do you presume the cult that tried to overthrow your democratically elected government to be telling anything close to the truth? You can declare its your observations and, apparently, unrivalled rationality but I hope you understand that would just come across as comedically ironic.

on the one story you’ve cherry picked?

Lol one story… Dude its hundreds of stories with all the same people repeating the lies or misleading headlines.

I am more than happy to explain what part of your trump stories is misleading or exaggerated, but the problem is that when you are part of a cult (even if you dont get to vote) you wont be be able to hear it. If you have any direct questions I will answer them, but I am not interested in writing a bunch to have you say “nu-uh”.

And again, I am not even a trump voter, he is better than the other side, but still not too great.
