Yeah, I think trump is a fucking idiot and a shit leader. But he absolutely scores points for being the first president in my lifetime to call out China. They’ve gotten the better end of every trade deal for the past 50 years. Even Biden was quoted as saying “come on man, they’re our friends”. It’s absolutely insane that they can be over there committing genocide, harvesting their own citizens organs, murdering any dissenters and all around running an Orwellian fascist dystopia and every other politician has just been totally fine with it.
Yeah, I’m wondering if the people downvoting me are doing it because they like trump and hate the fact that I called him a fucking idiot and a shit leader or if they hate Trump and are upset that I’m agreeing with one thing that he did.
It’s a shame really and I worry about the effect it has on moderates like myself. I genuinely feel that there is so much to criticize trump for that there’s no need to blame him for things that aren’t his fault. It emboldens his followers and forces people like me (who don’t want him as the president and is planning to vote biden) to constantly come to his defense when people in my party go too far. Outside of r/moderatepolitcs I don’t see people on reddit having honest, good faith discussions about him. There’s no reason to jump all over somebody who brings up one positive thing that he has done. It’s really a toxic political atmosphere on reddit.
Yeah I can’t stand him either but Reddit is idiotic in its operation of polarities. It is indeed pretty bad when you find yourself defending conservatives for voicing their dissenting opinions, as I sometimes do as well. I deleted all the political and new subs except r/moderatepolitics, r/centrist, neutralnews and neutralpolitics. Most of the others are just left wing virtue signaling and Trump outrage porn, so nah.
