    I would just repeatedly assert that he’s the same as any other president. Oh he’s using America’s hegemony to bully its “allies”? Unfortunate that that just started now. Oh he says overtly racist and ridiculous things? Must be the first one. His economic policies are hurting you now? Guess we’re including the right countries finally.

      I mean, yeah? He’s the first US head of state I’ve lived under who has explicitly called immigrants from south of the borderremoveds. He’s explicitly equated Nazis with those fighting them. On many things he’s no different than other presidents, true, but I think racist rhetoric makes a big difference and I don’t think other US heads of state were nearly as verbally racist as he was.

      But then again, I’m not white and you probably have a more even handed, objective take on this thing.

        What? You don’t even have to go back more than one president. Biden was repeating extremely racist obvious propaganda about Palestinians. You should tell the people who were being bombed and then collectively labelled “r*pists” that things only got bad when they started getting called worse names.

        If you are actually convinced of what you said, I really don’t know what to tell you.

          When did Biden flat out label all Palestinians asremoveds and murderers? What is the absolute worst thing he has said about Palestinians, as a people?

          Show me some video evidence and I’ll shut up. Anything as bad as ‘When Mexico sends its immigrants (people), they’re not sending their best … They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with [them]. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re r*pists. And some, I assume, are good people."

          And no, just because I’m attacking Trump doesn’t make me a Biden supporting Dem

            You completely intentionally distorted what I said and then are demanding I jump through rhetorical hoops that you set up. This is the most reddit thing ever. The only thing I said is that he is not the first president to say overtly racist and ridiculous things. Go watch some George Bush speeches, read something of what Andrew Jackson wrote. The fact that you disagree with what I wrote is just unexplainable.

            And I said this:

            when they started getting called worse names.

            You are not reading what I’m writing. This clearly isn’t a discussion.
