7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

As if his handling of COVID wasn’t a clear indication about who he really fought for. That whole thing was a total layup for his administration, and he absolutely fucked it at every conceivable opportunity. He made it political and caused who knows how many people to die because he had to be completely contradictory to the experts in the field whenever possible.
Absolutely mind boggling that people would give him the keys again. And that’s ignoring the mountain of other inconceivable shit he went out of his way to engage in. You remember, firing investigators investigating him, the felonies, the insurrection, the rape, blackmailing Ukraine to make false investigations against a political opponent, the unforced Russian propaganda, the profiting of hosting at his properties, the lies about Haitians, the pussy grabbing thing, the constant bullshit, the hiring fucking dolts, the crypto laundering, lying about the election, lying about nearly goddamned everything, the …
Our president folks, elected again. JFC
It's a problem of propaganda. All the mass media is owned by a few wealthy interests. A lot of people only get information from mass media. Media which regularly gave a seditious tractor like trump undue respect and deference for fear of 'losing access". When they don't treat him with the disdain and animosity he rightly deserves. People question whether what he did was actually that unusual or even bad.
Yes they saw what happened January 6th, but most of the media doesn't even bother to mention it much now. So it must not have been that big of a deal right? All a bunch of overblown hyperbole and bluster like Republicans accusations against Democrats. So they just "both sides" it all. Handwaving it away, thinking themselves above it and superior. Only bothering to latch on to talking points they like. Which only makes things worse seeing how bad Democrats are at playing the media compared to republicans.
