It’s funny watching you all treat this like a ‘gotcha.’ It isn’t. You shout about freedom from government overreach yet won’t even take basic steps to protect your own digital privacy. Use a VPN, change your App Store region, and let the clueless chase their own tails. Simple.
@ColterOwen@well_regulated@SarahisCensored If “the same can be said about Obama,” then you’ve just admitted Americans do sometimes treat presidents like royalty. Which means your original “No American citizen..…” claim was false. Thanks for clearing that up.
@ColterOwen@well_regulated@SarahisCensored Then we agree on the principle. People have every right to criticise elected politicians. The only disagreement left is whether the criticism is justified, not whether they’re allowed to make it.
@ColterOwen@well_regulated@SarahisCensored If I’m so “dense,” it should be easy to answer the point. You said no American treats Trump like a king. Not “few.” Not “most don’t.” You said No.
One counterexample ends that argument. The insults started the moment the logic failed.
@ColterOwen@well_regulated@SarahisCensored Countless supporters insist he can do no wrong and dismiss every criticism as fake.
Some have even argued he should be above the law because he’s “saving America.”
Not everyone who disagrees with you is automatically a Democrat.
@ColterOwen@well_regulated@SarahisCensored Supporters have proposed a third term despite the Constitution limiting presidents to two.
Some supporters have literally called him “God’s chosen” or “sent by God.”
“Trump 2028” merchandise openly flirts with ignoring the 22nd Amendment.
@Frankster1044@SarahisCensored Ah yes, another reply where the grammar gets more attention than the argument. Thanks for proving my point. If you If MAGAt’s can dismiss facts, I’m pretty sure you’ll survive me omitting a hyphen.
@ColterOwen@well_regulated@SarahisCensored PS: I couldn’t help noticing the Benjamin Franklin quote in your header about freedom. Odd, considering you dismiss criticism of an elected politician as “TDS”. Freedom includes the freedom to criticise those in power. That’s rather the point.
@Frankster1044@SarahisCensored You couldn’t answer the point, so you went after UK spelling. Also, you spelt my name wrong while trying to lecture me on spelling, which is painfully on brand. And yes, I’m happy to be British. Far less happy watching Americans confuse patriotism with loyalty to one politician.
@JimSlaaen@GBC_Press That’s a lot of insults and not a single rebuttal. If Stephen King’s opinion is irrelevant, explain why. Otherwise you’re just proving his point. It’s remarkable how often people who shout “facts over feelings” respond with nothing but feelings when someone criticises Trump.
@RestWillia6795@GBC_Press “Your opinion is irrelevant” is a strange position for someone who’s simultaneously sharing their own opinion. Either everyone’s entitled to one, or nobody is. Pick a lane.
@MAGAVoice Six months in office and apparently he’s responsible for decades of housing shortages, crime, infrastructure, cost of living and every other grievance you’ve got. That’s quite an impressive level of power for someone who’s barely had time to warm the chair.
@WinACarNow@MAGAVoice@ZohranKMamdani ….yet Trump rolled out the red carpet for Saudi Arabia with state visits, military deals and lavish receptions. Apparently your outrage has a VERY selective memory.
@WinACarNow@MAGAVoice@ZohranKMamdani Then you go a step further and argue that everyone who voted for him should be jailed or deported. That’s authoritarianism you utter 🔔 🔚
Also, if you’re suddenly concerned about 9/11, it’s worth remembering that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals…..
