@aBoughtLemon Maybe among the people you know Trump was more popular than Obama. But at no point in his entire presidency was Donald Trump ever more popular overall than Obama. EVER. Even with a strong economy. But you're bound to get caught off guard when you spend 4 years dismissing any news you don't like as fake news.

Actually there is a rule against Barr taking any action before an election that might affect the outcome. It'd be nice if Comey had followed the same rule. Hillary never would have lost because of her emails. Seems like Republicans only win when someone breaks the rules.

@myjeevie GOP = Party of Grievance. Everyone is always out to get you. If you don't get your way, it's because someone is a traitor.

@aBoughtLemon It's true that Trump was more popular than Obama.... among Republicans. But I think you're forgetting that the stakes were also much higher this time, so turnout was up for both parties. Case in point, Trump got more votes but he still lost 7 million votes. Because Biden is also more popular than Obama (and Trump). P.S. Obama has more Twitter followers.

@aBoughtLemon The difference between Democrats and Republicans: Democrats want to listen to experts....people who went to school for years in order to know what they're talking about. Republicans dislike experts, expertise, and experience. They hate smart people (AKA elites) giving them advice. They want to hear "both sides" of every issue. Even when the issue is not seriously up for debate (climate change). Just like they would prefer to listen to some fringe website or their neighborhood pastor than scientists or people who work in the medical field. Most of today's Republicans would struggle mightily in science class.

@aBoughtLemon Funny how Trump's supporters always repeat that claim that "Trump has denounced white supremacists multiple times." Two problems with that: 1st: He only denounces them days after there is an outcry....after he originally refuses to condemn them. Condemning white supremacists should be as easy as condemning evil. But he really struggles....therefore, he is racist. It's just that simple. 2nd: Why do white supremacists all think he's on their side?

@aBoughtLemon I'm over here rolling my eyes at the fact that I have to explain to you that reducing inequality does not mean communism. Stunningly ignorant. Lack of common sense. Just like Joe McCarthy.

@aBoughtLemon It's strange you say I support Bush 2.0 and Bush 3.0, because Bush was a Republican (like Trump) and I actually voted for his opponent both times.

@paigewood7709 Americans always want to restrict immigration so only white Europeans can come. Americans have such a strong fear of people who are different.

@aBoughtLemon It's funny you think we should be embarrassed for Biden having the support of Black Lives Matter. This movement, even with all its flaws, has shed a bright light on police brutality that black people have been dealing with for over 100 years. We are NOT embarrassed to stand up against racial violence. 16 shots! George Floyd! Breonna Taylor! Trayvon Martin. Society is changing to be more equal. You can push back. But it will happen with or without your support.

@aBoughtLemon I honestly find it funny how everyone complains about "the establishment" here in 2020. It's easy to do that after being introduced to Trump and Bernie Sanders after the fact. True sheep. Republicans had no problem with Bush until Iraq started going downhill. And most Democrats never had a problem with Obama until Bernie ran for office. That's the thing with Trump and Bernie supporters. They always want to judge the actions of the past by modern-day standards. The whole holier-than-thou attitude.

@kirby711 Republicans always say they have no problem with legal immigrants. But then they cheered when Trump tried to lower the number of legal immigrants we let in. It's all a lie. Republicans don't like any immigrants. It's just that illegal immigrants are an easy target.

@aBoughtLemon And Trump made explicit white nationalism (AKA white supremacy) acceptable in the US. There you got. Evil.

@aBoughtLemon Oh now Republicans are concerned about the debt again. Well we probably wouldn't have 28 trillion in debt if Trump hadn't cut taxes AND increased spending during a good economy. It's completely backwards and Incompetent. If ever there was a time to decrease the debt, that was it! But Trump blew it... all to achieve short term gains to help himself (and he still lost). Now that Biden will be entering office, Republicans will no doubt "re-discover" their concern about the national debt and do anything in their power to force Biden to have a slow recovery. Just like they did with Obama. Un-American.

@kirby711 Yes, I am a know it all. And what bothers me is the fact that today's conservatives either feel like facts do not matter, or they live by an entirely different set of facts . The media conservatives consume keeps telling them they can't trust the mainstream media, only conservative news. So they come into these conversations surprised when someone pokes holes in their argument.

I guess Trump doesn't really hire the best people. I'm really starting to question Trump's judgment. Half his appointees have either been convicted of a crime or have turned on him. Obama's never had to deal with this.

I thought Trump only hired the best.

Republicans are addicted to grievance. Someone is always out to get them.
