Or voting, or going to school, or owning things or...

"Won't have to think about it" or "don't even think about it" if he's president?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago

I'm sure that's true.

I think people in China don't think about crimes the CCP punishes with the death penalty much either.

I don't know what is worse, that he thinks women get abortions because they are sad or that he forgot he was president in 2020 when they were sick, poor, and depressed.

Change one letter and it's a decent pickup line

Yeah, they'll be worried about keeping their right to vote.

Can you really call it a 'signature all-caps style' when it's nearly impossible to distinguish from any crazy person's online forum screed?

Well, I’d argue that he’s not just some crazy online rando but a previous and possibly future president of the United States, which makes a teeny-weeny bit of a difference here.

I get where you're coming from, but he also happens to own the forum. and the fact that millions of actual “regular people” spend their days proliferating his garbage nonsense is yet another distinction between Trump and any other crazy person online.

In fact, it’s the proliferation of online propaganda that even makes you consider Trump to be comparable to a regular person in the first place when he is anything but.

We can call it the concept of a style

He's so transparent. The internal polling must be showing him getting murdered among women, prob worse than the national polling shows.

That or he's just stung by the implications of being unpopular with women.
