Of course, if the fanatic right wing manages to gain the complete control they crave, all officially approved histories will glorify Trump, deify Reagan, and consign the Demonrat so-called presidents to their dustbins of history.

I suspect it will go the other way. Within ten or twenty years (assuming the Republican party is still around) the Republican party line will be that Trump was a Democrat RINO.

In a sentence mentioning Biden and Trump, _Biden_ is the one with no morals and no principles.  
Fucking wake me up already.

The nice part about some folks is they make it very clear where their ideas come from and how much credence those ideas deserve.

Which is potentially even more terrifying, if you assume a further lunge rightward.

There’s not a single person here that needs any specific examples about Biden. The simple fact is nobody cares as long as he’s on the right side. I don’t care whose side someone is on wrong is wrong and right is right that never changes.

That which is asserted without evidence ~~can be dismissed without evidence~~ isn’t even worth addressing.

You haven’t offered a single example of Biden’s behavior to support your assertion. It’s as if you made it up out of thin air.

If evidence, even a fucking example existed, I’m sure it would be presented. Certainly. Otherwise, the claim would just be… Let me check what forum I’m in…, oh, fuck it.

There are a few who have asked, though. Don’t you consider it neighborly and in good faith to support your assertion? Good faith, right? Come on.

But…….

Biden had a home office in his basement!

His son once had a laptop! And a well-paying gig in finance!

His wife has a doctorate in education!

If you say anything with enough outrage, some people will be outraged.

Um–hand up, me? I have no idea what you’re on about. I get most of my news here, but my Google feed has Fox saying, “He tripped! Unfit for office!” Corruption? Divisiveness? Not so much.

If you want me to pay you any credence whatsoever, then I do.

I mean, I can’t guarantee the credence without seeing the examples. But I can most certainly guarantee the lack of credence if there aren’t any examples. Why do you expect me to believe anything without any explanation of what it is?

Technically correct, in that it isn’t a _single person_ asking for specific examples-It’s a sizable number of people, including me now.

Nonsense. Republican voters are the ones who need to turn a blind eye to the faults of the people they vote for. Democrats can actually look at their candidates, compare them to their opponents, and know they’re making the right choice. It’s not a bias when you make the correct choice.

Either bring some examples and post them, or stay out of the thread. If you’re not prepared to discuss this in good faith with facts and evidence to support your views, you are simply hijacking the thread.
