"This is not subjective. We all saw it. Plenty of leaders today try to convince the masses we did not see what we saw, but our eyes don’t deceive. (If leaders began a yearslong campaign today to convince us that the Baltimore bridge did not collapse Tuesday morning, would you ever believe them?) Trust your eyes. Trump on Jan. 6 launched the most serious threat to our system of government since the Civil War. You know that. You saw it." https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/03/our-trump-reporting-upsets-some-readers-but-there-arent-two-sides-to-facts-letter-from-the-editor.html

@GottaLaff Whoa Nellie. Fantastic opining.

“As for those who equate Trump and Joe Biden, that’s false equivalency. Biden has done nothing remotely close to the egregious, anti-American acts of Trump. We can debate the success and mindset of our current president, as we have about most presidents in our lifetimes, but Biden was never a threat to our democracy. Trump is. He is unique among all American presidents for his efforts to keep power at any cost.”

Except Covid + Gaza he's been a terrific President. Too bad those are such big things.

Still, a 1000x preferable to Trump.

severtz,

@CassandraZeroCovid @SherBeareth @GottaLaff What do you mean "Except Covid"? Biden started with nearly 7 million active cases and 450,000 dead, Trump started at zero.

@severtz I too don’t see how Biden failed with Covid. I can buy groceries bare-faced if I wish now, and Trump’s people would rescind the vaccine entirely and sink us in a sea of silver and bleach. Biden double-timed all he could, provided stimulus and had the country’s back. Odd.

@paninid @severtz Perhaps… quite baffling. I hate squabbles. I thought we were largely anti squabbling, I regretted saying that much. I’m not tremendously good at this.

@SherBeareth @paninid @severtz @CassandraZeroCovid COVID will never be "over" Sampath. It's like the flu that way. It's a virus that mutates constantly.

My favorite ScFi. A lot of comparisons to Trump and Musk.

@Travler @GottaLaff Make Orwell Fiction Again, is what I say.

@Eetschrijver @Travler @GottaLaff I'm with you on that!

There's some dystopia fiction I just cannot read rigut now, including Orwell and Octavia Butler. Just hits too close to home

@GottaLaff this editorial was enough to get my subscription fee for the year. We need more news orgs willing to call out the bullshit. Bravo Cleveland Plain Dealer!

@GottaLaff great piece! This really brings the point home:

“Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power”—historian Timothy W. Ryback.

“It explains how German leaders – including some in the media -- thought they could use as a means to get power for themselves & were willing to look past his obvious deficiencies to get where they wanted. In tolerating & using Hitler as a means to an end, they helped create the monstrous responsible for millions of deaths.”
