COMMUNITY United States Politics Thread: Trump's Second Term

TheNightKing said:
It’s about both. There are levels to this shit. Biden taking classified documents is some bullshit. Trump taking them, showing them off to randoms, possibly sharing them with foreign adversaries (given his stance toward Russia), then denying he has them, then refusing to return them is miles worse than Biden taking some work home and not returning it.

Could Biden have done all the things Trump did? Of course. Was there ever reporting suggesting he did? No. Who would be more likely to do those things? Trump of course.

And is Hilary having a server at her house worse than the Trump admin texting war strategy on Signal and inadvertently adding a journalist? No. There were soldiers involved in that strike and what if they had added someone who sold that info and it got back to Yemen and those soldiers were killed?

So that’s the problem with the whole two sides argument. You give cover to and downplay the worse. If it’s both sides treat each side with the level of outrage each side deserves.

When Hillary did what she did with the emails, there wasn't a comparable "worse" that Trump did.

So in real time the Hillary shit was downplayed by the Dems as not serious.

Years later, Trump administration does a comparably worse thing, and y'all say, it doesn't matter what Hillary did bc what Trump did is worse.

That's illogical.

Neither side ever takes accountability but demands it of the other side.
 
I always said Trump is the low hanging fruit that makes it easy for the other side to justify its own wrongdoings.

U don't justify shit just bc someone came along and did worse, since that's the metric ppl seem to conveniently keep using.

That's retarded.

I’m willing to admit both sides are wrong. I can also see when one side is worse. You’re willfully blind to the worse part.

It’s like two murderers. One killed the man that raped his daughter. The other was a pedophile that killed a child.

They’re both murderers though, right?

If u read my first post regarding the comparison I explicitly stated both should be held accountable

And relating that to your post, I'm saying both murderers should be held accountable for murdering. If u didn't care that the first person got away with murder, u look like a hypocrite expecting ppl to care if the next guy gets a way with murder.

So you would care just as much about a pedophile child killer getting away with murder as you would the father of a raped child getting away with murder.

That doesn’t seem off to you at all? You have the exact same feeling toward both of those situations? It’s ok to think both should be held accountable, but your judgment that one isn’t worse than the other is the problem.

Do you not think in this scenario one is worse?

Your analogy is clearly tailored to fit your bias.

The father of a raped child is clearly defending his child, it's more akin to a crime of passion.

That is not remotely analogous to what Hillary did and u trying to use that framework is bad faith and I don't take it serious at all.

Ok let’s keep it on them. Do you not think what Trump is doing and has done is worse?

The way these convos always go down the same exact way is fucking intriguing and at the same time tiresome to me

Bruh, you come on a left leaning message board and two sides everything in the direction of the right.

So you obviously do it to get a reaction, then when you get said reaction, act surprised you got a reaction.

I’ve never seen you two sides anything the democrats do, real talk. But anytime there’s a republican controversy here you come to two sides it.
