“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people. Radical left lunatics,” Trump said told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen,” he added.

      Not if you’re a woman, a queer person, a member of the working class or poor, need health care, need higher education, or don’t want to be governed by people who use your tax money to help kill Palestinian kids, among other things.

      But sure.

      It wasn’t Trump doing those things, so I agree that it’s okay.

        You’re shifting goalposts again. He claimed to be a blow against fascism because his opponent was Trump. So either you’re making the claim that Trump is less fascist, specifically on these issues, or you’re shifting the goalposts from your original statement which was a direct reply to someone airing their grievances about Trump who is unequivocally worse for minorities than Biden was or that Harris will be.

        We’ve warned you repeatedly about interacting with bad faith in Politics. If you want to talk about the ever-present and upsetting ways that minorities are treated, the need for better protections and quality of life for the working class, the need for better health care, higher education, and an anti-war message, you are more than welcome to spread that message. But you can’t do it in a way where you’re attacking people who are attacking Trump because you are upset about the democratic party. You’re implying that they don’t hold these values because you’re upset, and it just upsets others.

        I’m giving you a 7 day site-wide timeout, and if you come back to politics and continue to instigate with others in a way that’s accusatory, treats their statements with bad faith, or otherwise is not nice behavior we’re going to remove you from politics.
