Things that are divisive/demagogic:
—Calling the press the enemy of the people
When large portions of the press Actively suppresses information, or outright lies, putting their thumb on the scale of justice. The shoe fits.



—Banning entire religions from the country
Name one

—Siding with Putin over our own intelligence agencies


—Stealing state secrets to sell to our enemies
Prove it

—Inciting insurrections to overthrow the U.S. government
There was no way THAT was overthrowing the government. I have a lot of problems with Trump, Including Jan6, but it wasn't an overthrow, the Republic was not going to die that day. But particularly three years into the effing tantrum the left has thrown in this country, it mitigates a lot of the bad.

So Trump trying to over turn a national election is not an overthrow?

Then what would you call it ?

A missed opportunity

The republic didn’t die that day because it failed. Not sure how you can’t see that elephant in the room.

The press outing their Thumbs on the scales of justice
Love to hear how that works
Please don’t say Hunter

I saw the same thing from the right (Verboten) that I have seen for years from the left (Righteous Patriotic Dissent).

I saw a day of BAD violence in a Gov Building, partially fueled by a foolish politician, versus MONTHS of Bad Violence IN and OUT of Gov Buildings, Cities, Towns partially fueled by a foolish politicians.

I saw foolish politicians on the right say the same things foolish politicians on the left said in 2016.

AND the media buried Hunter - they even admit it.

I see a lot of unnecessary rationalization . By you and others Trying to depict current and past events as some how the same .

While actual history and facts clearly suggest otherwise

In poll after poll, about 70% of Republicans say they don’t think Joe Biden is the legitimate winner of the 2020 election.


The Republican Party on Friday officially declared the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and events that led to it “legitimate political discourse,” and rebuked two lawmakers in the party who have been most outspoken in condemning the deadly riot and the role of Donald J. Trump in spreading the election lies that fueled it.


Clearly we see the world via completely different lenses
