Any specific examples of these bad things? I agree that its not you, its the cult that are the problem but I have to check.

I get that. I’m just saying the double standard is kind of wild. I mean, its not like anyone ever would come out and say “yeah, our candidate (much like the other candidate) was too old for this job 10 years ago. Hes lost it. Dont vote for him.” Thats not been the nature of politics for the past 100 years.

We had the media running back to back reels about Biden age but virtually nothing on the sexual assault he lost a libel case over denying, the now unsealed rape allegations, the russian oligarchs buying up his properties at 10× market rate or his extensive relationship with epstien which are all far bigger issues.

Bad things - cheats on his wife while she is pregnant (probably), is a jackass to many people, hires bad people, spends way too much money, doesnt do what he says he will do, and a variety of policy problem.

The problem I have that is he is not just a candidate, he is the current president. And its not just people in his party that said he was fine, it was the supposed unbiased media.

Do you really believe that the media doesnt cover trump negatively?

Fair enough, thats a few.

True but I feel a lot of that would net off against trump also being old and losing it, as well as all the other things coming out about him that should be front page news.

Even then, he stepped aside and put his country first. Thats something trump would never do.

Its hard to say. His supporters would consider simply telling the truth about the things trump does/has done to be reporting on him negatively. There’s also a lot of negative things to say about him and the people he represents. The media isn’t all the same either. Social media like X is owned by a huge trump supporter, who will be looking to paint trump positively.

Honestly, he tried to overthrow your democracy and then loaded up supreme judges to pervert the democratic choice of the majority of the country. He’s had security provided at republican meetings by the “three percenters” white supremacist group. Hes just told everyone he’s going to “fix voting.” So, he about to have a second shot at what he tried on January 6.

The press he gets isn’t nearly negative enough.

The big issue here is that you have bought one side narrative completely. From my view all of the things that have been done to trump and also the jan 6th defendents is the real attempt at overthrowing democracy. And then pretending that the trump judges are super bad compared to the democrat appointed judges is just completely biased.
