The atmosphere is so heated, and the statements are getting more and more extreme. Let’s just assume Harris wins the election. After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?

    Please actually read someone’s comment before summarising it. You’ll do a better job if you do that.

    Bush has done a terrible deed that Trump did not have the opportunity to do. Trump has done multiple terrible deeds that Bush DID have the opportunity to do.

    Saying Trump is better than Bush is like saying I’m a better friend to you than that burly sailor. Sure, I didn’t sleep with your mother, but we know damn well that I would have if I had the chance.

      So I won’t use the Iraq war as a marker of morality…

      In other words, you’ve nullified the murder of 1 million innocent people by Bush, in order to rationalize why Trump is worse.

      But please, write another five paragraphs justifying why those deaths shouldn’t count here. I’m sure eventually you’ll figure out the right semantic argument that almost passes muster for someone of slightly below average intelligence.

      I’d actually respect you more if you just said that you care about the danger Trump poses to American democracy more than a million dead Arabs. At least you’d finally be open and honest about the political and moral views you clearly hold.
