No Bob that tax cut is not all he did. I reeled off some other things off the top of my head he did that I liked...many that people before him should have done. Did you miss those?
Then you mention this,"His public policies had little to do with insurrectionists attacking our democracy. His narcissism and lack of morals had everything to do with it." and I wonder what you have not witnessed during the previous administrations in actions...much more powerful than words. Recalling the blaming off the "video" for Benghazi was to serve the stupid, much like we are seeing today and as I said...we have a lot of stupid people with keyboards and phones as social media has shown us. They are not confined to one side of the aisle. Did you forget that? Lies and projections are quite common, as evidence has shown for over four years.
Now somewhere and perhaps it too was missed, I talked about the "hot" topic of many years ago with the same type of reasoning on violence in TV. The bottom line there as "also" mentioned was that "VIOLENCE" on TV did NOT lead to more violence in the public. Do you see the same concern...the same reasoning....the same results, but don't see the same answer?
Trump didn't make people enter the capital. Those people wanted to do that. Trump didn't make people burn down cities, shoot cops and loot. Those people wanted to do that. This herd mentality told by the media take root in the gray areas of what should be potentially capable of some level of thought rather than being told "what" to think or more appropriately "FEEL". Blame shifting is yet "ANOTHER" form of control and here we see media doing it and YOU following along in your typing. I know the answers years ago (if in question) in the soc we took was to blame society rather than the individual and here you are indicating that someone makes another do that, what the other doesn't want to do, but does anyway absent some real threat. Think about what you are actually saying (indicating that someone makes another do that, what the other doesn't want to do, but does anyway absent some real threat). That is what you have stated. Do you not see how foolish that is? Were the actual comments Trump has made in Twitter before the election and after that different? That is a question since I don't really know, but pretty confident in how I would bet. Why was there no concern of censorship prior...afraid of some legislation that would affect them? I never went...I liked Trump's policies...why didn't I go? NONE of this has anything to do with Trump it was people that made individual choices to do what they did whether entering the capital, shooting cops, looting or burning cities. Those were people that should be held accountable and you are giving them a free pass and blaming someone that didn't do what they did. I could go on about the displays of ignorance of history concerning the statues and things, but it appears that those statues incited violence and destruction as well. How F'ing stupid are we? Seriously!
Lastly, if not already addressed above, your comment"His narcissism and lack of morals had everything to do with it." and the implication of mindless robots programmed against their will, absent any threat did what they didn't want to do makes about as much sense as an employer hiring men instead of women and losing 23% of the potential reduction in labor costs because get this....drum roll please....men don't like women and are willing to lose that resulting profit margin just to hire men. Ignore the logic...let's go find a link...
Trump obviously shows narcissic flaws. Did you have your eyes closed with Obama, someone that listed "I" many more times than "we" when speaking? Trump obviously has flaws in his morality as well (many not affecting me). Is it less moral to intentionally lie and attack those with the IRS that had different views than you held? Was it less moral to use bankruptcy as a means of treating hourly and salary different to try to buy votes? Are we reduced to treating "words" and "actions" with the same weight?
Now excuse me as I have to get some more work done and have a few things to accomplish once Trump tells me what to do...
Ok. One more time. The tax cut remark was SARCASM.
This is the direct result of Americans ignoring the character and judgement of people they vote for. Just vote for the letter and give me a tax cut.
Do you really think I haven't heard about trump's "accomplishments" on this board after 4 years?
Next paragraph. Whatabout Benghazi. All presidents lie. You and I are old guys. Disregarding the thousands of lies and mischaracterizations during his 4 years, tell me how many presidents....or others running for national office, started saying the election was rigged against him months before the election?
Next. Trump had no effect on the people who chose to attack the Capitol. Wow.
In a nutshell, Trump convinced people he was the purveyor of truth. Fake news. Whoever who criticized him or disagreed was an enemy and was lying to you. Media was the enemy of the people.
Check.
The common thread among trumpers..........love that he's a fighter. He encourages cops to rough up the suspects putting them in the car. Knock the crap out of rally protestors, he'll pay the legal fees. He loved the old days when people would be brought out on a stretcher. He'd punch 'em in the face. Defended Kyle. Stand back and stand by. Liberate Michigan. All the same theme. He has no problem with violence by his supporters, even encourages it.
Check.
For months before the election, if he loses, it was rigged. Repeat. He lost but claimed he was cheated. Since we believe what trump says.....and only him......it was rigged. Had to be. No doubt. He won't concede. Won't stop fighting......there's that word again. His supporters believe what he tells them. The election was a fraud.
Check.
Do you believe there would have been an attack on the Capitol if he had conceded? In your world, the answer would have to be YES. After all, trump had no effect on the actions of his supporters. They did it on their own. That's the question you need to answer.
The crowd gathers and the rest is history. Trump didn't tell them to smash this window or knock down that door. To act like he had no responsibility because he didn't give them specific instructions on what to do is pure absurdity.
Butobama.
No, you have been reduced to ignoring words from the president of the United States because you are embarrassed by them and him. Consequently, only actions are important. His action was to make history by refusing to accept the results of an election in our country..........and it will be his legacy.
