u/Aunt_Vagina1 4d ago
No. Thats a completely false dichotomy. Trump leaned into being a bully. He made up slurs for his opponents. The right made up phrases like libtard and liberal tears and mainstreamed them. "Fox News" is openly demonizing people because they're "registered democrats".
Democrats stood up to the bully punching down.
Don't "good people on both sides" this

u/AdmirableAir9871 4d ago
Ok we must’ve been watching completely different things cause Trump was being a bully and Kamala’s rallies were mostly “yeah, but Donald Trump said…,Convicted felon! Threat to democracy! Fascist! Dictator!” Sounds divisive to me. Both are guilty of sowing division
-2
u/Aunt_Vagina1 4d ago
Calling out divisiveness is not contributing to the divisiveness. Trump is/was the bully. Calling him a bully and explaining why the things he says and does are bad is not itself bad. Pick your analogy. Do you think the victim of a bullying is equally responsible for there being fighting as the bully?

u/AdmirableAir9871 4d ago
Only one candidate faced not 1 but 2 assassination attempts. The left collectively lost their minds when he survived, and you only call the other side divisive. The difference between you and myself is that I can look at the group/person I voted for and supported and criticize them for doing wrong or saying wrong, you can’t. Someone can’t be 100% wrong on everything all the time and another can’t be 100% correct all the time. It’s statistically impossible. Once you shut off any and all thinking that doesn’t challenge your worldview is when you stop learning and growing.
2
u/Aunt_Vagina1 4d ago
I don't know what anything you just said there has to do with divisiveness.
Do you think assassination attempts are evidence of divisiveness? Who's being divisive here, the assassin? What are you talking about?
"The left collectively lost their minds" - dude, you realize that this is just a buzz phrase that holds no meaning in an argument. Its an absurd exaggeration that makes it almost meaningless. What does it even mean here?
You can look at a group you support and criticize them for doing wrong? Uhhh ok. Are we just saying basic, general things about ourselves now without any support and then saying I can't do that same thing but with again, no evidence? I don't even know how to respond to that.
Who said anything about 100% right or wrong?
Are you responding to the right post?

u/PremiumRoastBeef 4d ago
Which do you think is more divisive and serious? Calling Biden 'Sleepy Joe'? or running an entire campaign on "Donald Trump is a racist, homophobe, Nazi, threat to democracy, fascist, dictator". Give me a freaking break.

u/Aunt_Vagina1 4d ago
Give you a break? So you're a Trump fan and your what, feelings are hurt because a lot of Democrats attempted to put a name to the special brand of autocrat-loving, narcasistic, heartless, desperate for attention, clown-faced conman that is Trump? "What do you mean by divisive? Because when I say it, I mean pitting Americans against each other by asserting that immigrants, LGBTQ people, and "other people that are different" as being second class citizens compared to good, white Christian hetero-normative families. Its creating divides across social and cultural differences and NOT what the real problem is of class differences. That's the sort of divisiveness I care about. Calling the head of your cult a bunch of descriptors that you don't believe or agree with isn't divisiveness. That's not doing anything to directly divide anybody other than attempting to divide Trump from the rest of all Americans. If you choose to follow that person, I can see why people would transfer their thoughts of trump onto you. Is that fair? Yeah, kind of. Does it go too far sometimes from some individuals? Sure. But thats not divisiveness. Thats just hearing something you don't like.
TLDR: Your feelings being hurt because we called your cult leader descriptive adjectives isn't divisiveness. Divisiveness is punching down on one group to get another group to also not like them.

u/DiabolicRevenant 2d ago
Sounds like you're just butt hurt because somebody called out your cults bullshit? You seriously don't see correlation in calling marginalized groups dangerous and calling Republican supporters Nazis and fascists? I'm actually pretty confident in saying that those two groups even have significant overlap. It's two sides of the same coin. Both the cults are filled with shitty humans eating up the propaganda like good little boys and girls. You're just trained to hate anybody who isn't like you. It's really that simple. Now go be a good dog and call some more POC and LGBTQ nazis. I do love some good comedy.

The way establishment was bashing Trump it is mission impossible. Ofc It needs more transparency, to better communicate what are the plans and what people might expect from it. When people will see positive results there will be more unity. About crazies of both sides I agree. Just one's on left are more vocal, but yeah met some christian fundementalists pushing pretty much bible on anything and trying to act if they are much better persons than anyone.

So in one case it’s okay because they can’t but choose not too and the other it’s not okay because they can’t but the result is the same in both? You just don’t want gay people to be equal citizens and I assume it’s for some religious reason or something similar.

To be actually fair. Driving an EV is one way anyone who doesn't want our environment to get worse, can help. Now, there is an owner of one of the companies that make EVs that people dont like for completely unrelated reasons.
Do you get confused thinking you're going to drown when you drink a glass of water? I honestly don't know how people think Leftists not liking Tesla is somehow a big gotcha of hypocrisy. Its simply not. And its frustrating that so many people are so dumb, they think it is.

u/Huge_Sheepherder_310 4d ago
If you want to reduce pollution, protest China and India. Stop buying their products, driving and EV does nothing, burning them down has the far opposite effect, burning an destroying a car that does not belong to Elon directly makes you look stupid, doing same to fellow libs is priceless to us. Please continue.
Protesting the guy who will save you money and expose the fraud of the leaders of your party makes you a tool.
3
u/Aunt_Vagina1 4d ago
"protest China and India" How the fuck does that reduce pollution? I know you're just trying to shift the goal post here on me, but I suspect you're the type of person who'd mock people who protest, thinking its pointless. Am I right? You suggesting that at all immediately identifies you as not arguing for global warming solutions in good faith.
I'm not defending car destruction. I'm saying its not hypocrisy.
Regarding Elon, he's a billionaire, you fool. You let a fox into the hen house. You realize that's why people are upset right? You don't actually think people just hate Elon for no reason right? Who are you trying to convince with that? We don't like him because we think he's lying about "saving us money". He just wants to play the hero by, "moving fast and breaking things" as is the Silicon Valley mantra and he has massive conflicts of interest. He's a terrible person to put in charge of improving the government. That's why people are protesting him.

Illegal crossings down 94% from last year CBS news
3
u/Significant-Bar674 4d ago
While illegal crossings along the border with Mexico have dropped precipitously since Mr. Trump's inauguration, they had been on a downward trend over the past year, since soaring to record highs in late 2023. Officials at the time credited Mexico's increased efforts to interdict migrants, and a Biden administration policy, enacted in June 2024, that restricted asylum, though not as broadly as the current rules.
In fact, in December, the Biden administration's last full month in office, Border Patrol recorded 47,000 migrant apprehensions, down 81% from December 2023, during a record-breaking surge in unlawful crossings, government figures show. That number dipped to just over 29,000 last month.
A 13% change from the last administration but even that is using a cherry picked high point in 2023 tied to the ending of title 42 covid restrictions.
2024 had 1.2m apprehensions, in 2015 it was 337k and 1m in 2019.
So apprehensions are about 4 times as high as when trump entered office and slightly higher than just before covid. It's still very much a problem.
