    He is still a dangerous cheat, corrupted, megalomaniac, and kind of stupid and easily manipulated. It’s just that he probably didn’t mean a ban in this case.

    Just because he is dangerous doesn’t mean we should also embrace misinformation against him. Plenty of legitimate information is damning enough, to embrace misinformation sites nothing but undermine the legitimate reasons to keep him the hell away from leadership.

      I will accept just about anything to stop the fascism from taking control of our country at this point.

      This has already been a propaganda war, the left just sucks at it. And when you’re up against people willing to fight dirty with the future of the Republic at stake, and you’re not willing to meet them at their level, you lose every time. And this is something we cannot lose.

      So no, I’m ok with interpreting what we all fucking know he meant anyway, based on the ridiculous way he speaks and having to listen to it constantly for the past decade. I’m ok with that little stretch if it means my gay and trans friends in Florida don’t end up against the fucking wall in a year and a half.

      It’s starting to get dire. I really don’t think people grasp what happens if he wins again. And it will happen quickly.
