Everything is on fire - the US politics thread

I do, only one candidate called mexicans rapists, claimed illegal immigrants were all ‘the worst criminals’ claimed Haitian immigrants are eating cats, called democrats demonic, said he’d be fine with assassins shooting the press, threatens to take revenge on people who disagree with him and led an insurrection when he lost last time.

Nothing Harris or BIden or any other senior Dem has said is even in the same ballpark as that fat orange fuck’s litany of incitements to violence.

I meant I dunno what to say.

It’s ironic I think that actually the democrat rhetoric has been overly nice for the better part of the last two decades. The conservatives have genuinely been distorting the bounds of democracy and under Trump edged into the forerunners of a new american fascist party. If anything the rest of the country needs to be ready to fight.

Regardless of who they announce as the winner, the time between now and Trump’s inauguration is going to be wild!

TOO BIG TO RIG this time.

Now that’s a surprise …

Even the placards say “We Fight, We Win”.

Is it as bad as what Trump has done? No.
In a highly charged tinderbox it is quite irresponsible and inflammatory…

I know it’s his catch phrase from the tv show but I also have a huge problem with Trump continually doing the “Kamal, You’re Fired” with a not so subtle gun gesture.
Given everything that has happened, it’s pretty easy to see how some idiot is going to interpret that if she wins.

Evidence also shows that toning down rhetoric and letting one side trample all over the debate doesnt work either. The political dialogue there, and increasingly here, is stuck in the gutter.

I think Harris has done a very good job in the last few months with not getting too drawn into the aggressive insult hurling. She’s spoken clearly and strongly but also in a way that makes her look like a sane adult, it makes the Trump side look more unhinged in comparison.

I know this is a bad troll, but -

Nope.

After this I’m declaring US politics over. It’s boring now.

That’s not how you spell incarceration.

Is forte hiding around here somewhere? He was more entertaining.

Tucker Carlson has said in a speech that the increased number of hurricanes is due to abortion, which he has equated with ‘human sacrifice’

I mean, the hurricanes have actually got more since Roe was overturned and there’s been less abortion, so realistically he’s actually got it wrong way around. Not that logic was in the building though obviously
