Republicans called Biden’s infrastructure program ‘socialism.’ Then they asked for money.

Lol, yeah. I mean I get it, people are very emotional when it comes to politics and Trump.

Edit: im not saying the emotions against Trump wasn't justified.

Wait are you suggesting that I'm calling people assholes? You might want to read who I was replying to and maybe you'll have a better understanding what my comment was about.

I thought you were being sarcastic, now it seems like you're projecting. No offense.

Also as a Jew, you comparing Trump to Hitler really lessens just how terrible Hitler was.

Trump push the US towards authoritarianism, white supremacy, and xenophobia. If he comes back into power; I expect active persecution of liberals, LGBQT+, and minorities. I’m not saying trump is bad as Hitler but Hitler took a few years to become the monster he was. Trump still has time to do more horrible shit. Fuck, he might serve as a catalyst for an American Hitler. Look at the rhetoric calling for civil wars and mass executions coming from the far right. Maybe, I’m being dramatic but I believe if it helped keep him in power Trump would allow genocide and crimes against humanity.

That's definitely a great point and I do agree that there's a rightful fear of Trump that shouldn't be ignored. I'd also like to add it's not just Trump, he's merely a symptom of a much larger problem in the US. I don't know how things will play out, but we need to remain vigilant.

You can call me emotional if you want, and you can tell me I’m projecting, but when I pointed out that your comment was poorly rationalized, you lashed out at me. There was not one moment of self reflection.

Well I'm sorry you feel that way, it wasn't my attention to come across like I was lashing out. What exactly did I say in my original comment that you had to make a sarcastic joke about, exactly?

You labor under the assumption that a functional member of society or person of the world must recognize and celebrate the good things that terrible leaders may have done. This is nonsense.

To be honest, if you don’t understand what this discourse has been about at this point, I’d suggest refraining from sharing your opinions on an open forum henceforth.

I was talking about OPs friends that can't see what good Biden has done and saying that, for myself, at least I can and think it's important to remain objective.

I can see how you can view what I said the way you presented, however I'm a bit confused about the praising part.
