Most outlets simply reported it as "mic trouble." The sanewashing really pisses me off.
I'm less interested in the medias reaction and very interested people's reaction here. We can get first hand reactions from trump voters directly as things happen! That's priceless!

I like to get their feelings as soon as they see these things so that I can get their honest first reaction, as opposed to after they get how they're supposed to react to it from spinsters. Like how on Jan 6th, it was universally thought of as one of the worst moments in American history and an insurrection organized by trump, as compared to how they act now after they got organized and say it's NBD.

Honestly, I'm pretty optimistic.

I think Harris has a high likelihood of winning. Just from looking at the amount of endorsements from many public figures, the larger size crowds in her rallies, lots of women voters breaking record numbers, more Gen Z voters coming out to vote for the very first time, republicans voting for her, etc.

Meanwhile, all Trump has left are just lies and hate. He can't even fill many of his rallies anymore and tons of people leaving them in the middle of his ramblings while also embarassing himself live on national TV stations for everyone to see and thus making more people wake up and choosing to vote for Harris instead of a demented, old, and rotten orange. That debate against Harris, that he lost in, really did a number on him and he's been going on a downward spiral ever since, both physically and mentally. It's no wonder he and his comrades are panicking hard.

I've stopped being hopeful and optimistic a long time ago.
Hopefully, this Nov. 5 will change that, but... I feel like I'll be disappointed.

I am seriously hoping that the real world (you know, where we touch grass) is a lot more sensible than the chaos that we read on the net.

That's fair. Anything unexpected can happen, so lowering your expectations is perfectly normal.

Same, Harris ran a much better campaign than Hillary, and the entire world is tired of seeing the bloated rotten pumpkin on TV spouting lies, hatred, and dementia word salad. If I had to wager I'd say Harris plus 3 or 4, wins one more swing state than she needs.

Can anyone post some of the fascist, homophobic and racist things Trump did during his first presidency?

Also, can I get a number of how many interracial families Trump tore apart from 2016 to 2020?

I wonder how families in North Carolina are going to vote or the families in communities where foreign invaders were deposited over the last 4 years?

Show of hands, are you paying more or less for the following now vs. when Trump was in office?

Rent/Housing
Electricity
Food

Has you life been better or worse under the Biden regime vs. when Trump was in office?

Do you support the party who can't tell you what a female is?

Do you support the party who is offended by the word 'mother' and uses the term, "birthing parent"?

Are you OK with illegal invaders getting free health care, free housing and free money every month? (Well, it's not free.....tax payers are footing the bill.)

If you went to live in Japan, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, do you think you'd be given free health care, free housing and free money every month?

I want to add something awesome video for deaf, hard of hearing and disabled people maybe know America Sign Language (ASL)! Show this video to everyone! Have fun!


style=""> Your browser is not able to display this video.

This video is not real! Created by AI computer for add ASL in video. Harris and Trump use ASL to talk (by hands only) to everyone.
Aw... Thanks. I'm deaf member and @ELY_M is deaf member too.

Most of them only know signs are thumb up, thumb down, rock and flip the bird.

Not even going to consider the rest you posted upon seeing this first question, because his term in office does NOT dismiss everything he's done before and after it. But even in his first term, he's done various thing you question. Just focusing on some of the racist things he was involved in....

Attacking NFL players for silently protesting
Mocked Elizabeth Warren, continuing to call her "Pocahontas"
Telling various black and brown members of Congress to go back to their country, even those most of those members were born in the US.
Calling the coronavirus the "Chinese virus" and "kung flu"

Fauxcahontas is better.

The only one on your list I think has merit was the "go back and fix where you came from before you badmouth the country that took you in" comment. That was definitely too much. But he didn't name anyone when he said that, so you have to assume things.

But Warren's full of shit, and lied about being a "minority" to get advance in life when a legit person of native American ancestry could've had those opportunities. The NFL players aren't being paid to protest on their team owners' dime (they can whine all they want on their own time). And Covid did originate in China. And most likely from that Wuhan lab and nowhere else.

So you're giving Trump the okay to be a racist because you think Warren is full of shit? Because NFL players knelt during the national anthem? Because Covid began in China?

You listed 4 things. I somewhat agreed with you on one. I disagree that you even have a good point as to the other three, and I said why. So in your reply to @Turbo_Interceptor I think you went 1 for 4. That's a meh. Weak meh.

But the question wasn't about the people Trump was racist with. It was about if Trump was racist. You can't tell me that we can dismiss Trump's racist attitude because of the people he was targeting. He could have handled those situations much better without being racist..... but he didn't.

You're basically saying it's racist because it was critical of people who arent white, without regard to what the criticism was. Well, except for Warren, she's white. As a lily.

Tim Walz called Elon Musk "that gay guy" a couple days ago. Was that copacetic?
