Does it make you a snowflake when you complain about the incendiary rhetoric from the president who called tens of millions of voters "an extremist threat to our democracy, freedoms and rights"?

When you're a person who believes in "fuck your feelings," yes! Trump's base has used incendiary rhetoric ALL THE TIME.

Also, I don't see how the video you linked is controversial. Are you incapable of distinguishing between people who voted for Trump b/c they viewed him as the lesser of two evils and people who support Jan 6? It's pretty clear that this woman was talking about the latter. Why are you intentionally misconstruing the meaning here? I know that you're not dumb enough to equate the two because only someone with an IQ below 80 could do that inadvertently.

She/Biden were speaking about "MAGA Republicans", not "Republicans who support Jan 6". Equating the two is Democratic propaganda... and you apparently agree?!
There were 74 million Trump voters in 2020. Say we polled them if they consider themselves to be "MAGA Republicans", how many do you think would agree? Maybe 30-40 million? Do you seriously believe that these 30-40 million all support what went down on Jan 6?


Also, like I've said multiple times: Trump explicitly ran on the notion that he would deliver "wins" for the right-wing cause while Biden explicitly ran on the notion that he would be the "great uniter" and heal a divided nation. Likewise, Trump mostly railed against out-of-touch elites and "the swamp", not so much against the base voters of Democrats.

MAGA Republicans are Trump's hardcore base. The cult. Given that a substantial amount of Republicans believe that Biden isn't the legitimate President, I think it's a reasonable characterization. I think among the 30-40 million, I think you'll find varying levels of support. Some would outright support it, some would say they didn't go far enough, and some agree with the underlying cause but disagree with the overall execution. Let me ask you this, where would you place guys like Ghot on the spectrum here?

Personally, I find "supporting democracy" and "speaking highly of mainstream Republicans" unifying. This really isn't controversial unless you have strong, authoritarian tendencies (which exists on both sides by the way!) Imagine thinking that taking a shit on Antifa is "divisive." :rolleyes:

Support for violently overthrowing an election? No, I don't think that there's 30-40 million who'd support that. Ghot is an old man, he'd either fall asleep or die from a heart attack on his way to the Capitol.

You mean "mainstream Republicans" like Romney, McCain or GWB, who Democrats smeared as racist/sexist/classist/warmongers while they were still the Republican standard bearer?

I think support for the actual methods of Antifa is about as high as support for the storming of the Capitol - quite low, and definitely much lower than support for the abstract cause.

Ghot is your MEDIAN Republican voter. I think it would do you a lot of good to actually come to America and experience what it's like to be among the people you support. You're extraordinarily out of touch!

The GOP politicians you mentioned are certainly part of "mainstream Republicans" but you're also forgetting people such as Shelley Capito, Betsy DeVos, etc. And yes, there are some SUBSTANTIAL policy differences between those folks and the Democrats. Yes, many Democrats smeared those same people. Last night, Biden managed to PRAISE those same people for doing the BARE MINIMUM....yet you're still offended. Why is that?

I get that you're from Europe, but you really should get your head out of the sand. Ghot is not an anomoly. There are literally millions of Ghots out there.

Again, Fox has more viewers than MSNBC or CNN combined and they preach a radical right wing message whereas CNN is middling and actively changing their content to cater to Republicans and MSNBC hosts people like Scarborough who constantly played interferrence for Trump.

There's a majorly influential radical faction in the United States, and it's firmly on the right.
