The thing is that response is bullshit. He intended it to be a political statement he trashed Democrats to gain favor with Republicans. He hit on a common right wing talking point ans when callee out he tried to pass it off as just fact. He couldn’t defend his statement when people came with a comparison of the facts.

Now he’s doing the worst thing, trying to play both sides. Oh you lean left on some issues and right on some issues. I’d be pretty fucking careful saying I lean right on some issues considering how extreme the American right is. In the current political landscape the middle ground is not possible. You cannot have consistent morals and be in the middle.

Dude also made his new username “andy88” in binary and used the phrase “triggered” in a reply.

Hes barely pretending.

Depends on who you ask: Magats will probably say that he is yellow, so a ch*nk. Poor Andy wants to be a token I guess.

This is the same kind of horseshit opinion that led to the logic of “we don’t negotiate with terrorists.”

There is nothing wrong with trying to find common ground with people you disagree with. Life is not a zero sum game, and I’m sick and tired of all this needless and divisive outrage. Ya’ll need to chill the fuck out and quit attacking everyone that is less than perfect from your perspective.

No, you don’t try to find a common ground with trump. That would make you an asshole.

I don’t like to compare him to Hitler much, but it’s an apt example of why trying to find common ground is not automatically virtuous. Sometimes you don’t want to do that.

I understand your comment and if it was any other right wing president I would agree and would not be taking such a harsh stance. Trump is different. Trump is not just ideologically opposed to me passing things I disagree with. Trump directly attacks and threatens the lives of the people I care about. He changes the culture in a way that makes me sick to my stomach. His views are something I cannot accept.

Cool, can you explain to us how your centrist approach would work in practice? Should Trump only remove some rights from trans people? Only deport 500,000 immigrants instead of one million?

I thought this comment (and the thread below it…and the lack of any reply to it despite the CEO being all over the thread elsewhere) was pretty telling.

It’s much less of a strong tell, but is slightly concerning that he’s picked up language like “triggered”. As comments there say, his excuse of not being in-tune with American politics could be real, but are also possibly just plausible deniability, because he may have picked up on that language by hanging out online with fascists.

Yes exactly! It also left a really sour taste when the CEO started aruging his side then when he realized he was getting cooked he was like “oh I dont want to discuss politics lets just drop this” N
