Kamala Harris in the US presidential debate

@windinhishair They convinced her, right?

@Bumbles Most people who heard Trump say those words believe he meant them.

@windinhishair He did, too. He’d love bloodshed in his honor.

@Bumbles Yes he would. People giving their lives for him makes him feel good.

@windinhishair Sick but true.

@windinhishair “Trump has said it will be a bloodbath if he is not elected. Those are his words.”

We all know that this is a lie. He was talking about the Chinese manufacturing cars in Mexico, and America being a loser.

Do you want to read the quote in full?

@emiliya I've read it. Have you ever heard Trump speak? Violence and dystopia are a normal part of his conversations. And he's a former president who has incited violence before, so him doing it again is not a stretch. His whole campaign is based on revenge and retribution for his past big loss in 2020. What do you think he will do when he loses by an even bigger margin in November this time?

@windinhishair Trump is animated and uses descriptive language. I have not heard him talk about violence and dystopia, except when he is telling us about violent acts being committed by others in America.

He told his supporters to protest peacefully and patriotically. His campaign is centered around America becoming a better nation. Like many in your country, he thinks Wokeism is taking over, and he cares about the practical issues. Trump wants to stop funding the war in Ukraine and stop illegal migrants entering the US. He wants to make the corrupt DOJ less powerful. These issues run very deep, and they affect the lives of your fellow American. Although America thinks it can benefit from Ukraine, it is not good to put your people at risk of war.

@emiliya You haven't been watching Trump very long if you haven't seen references to violence and dystopia. How many weeks have you been watching him?

Trump wants to stop the war in Ukraine because he wants to benefit his benefactor Putin. Trump has been compromised since the 1980s by Russia, and he values Russian money to prop up his wealth. He has laundered billions of rubles through his properties and would have more bankruptcies than the six known without it.

Trump wants to subjugate the DOJ to protect himself from the consequences of his crimes and to use to go after his enemies, of which there are many. Like every issue, Trump cares only for himself. He would gladly sell out the nation for his own personal benefit, and he may already have done so with stolen classified documents.

@windinhishair I have been watching Trump since I was 16, the year he was elected. I remember when he won in November 2016. It was close to my birthday. I found it exciting. Trump has always been very entertaining.

“Trump wants to subjugate the DOJ to protect himself from the consequences of his crimes and to use to go after his enemies, of which there are many.”

The DOJ has already been weaponized. Being ruled by Trump is a problem to you, yet being ruled by the corrupt Democrat party, the FBI, the CIA, and the progressive left, is fine?

@emiliya Wow, were you born a conspiracy theorist, or did you get indoctrinated by right-wing media later? Being petrified of the DOJ, FBI, CIA, and something you call the "progressive left" isn't healthy, and isn't based in reality. You're too young to remember when Trump and his father were indicted for refusing to rent apartments they owned to non-white people in the 1970s, and were found liable and fined. In the 1980s and 1990s, Trump destroyed a new football league called the USFL, and was known as a blowhard, self-centered playboy who wasn't too smart, bankrupted multiple casinos, called for the execution of five black and hispanic men called the Central Park Five even when they were exonerated, was widely known for helping Russian oligarchs launder stolen money through his real estate, and cheated on multiple wives with their successor and others. He also had a failed airline, and other failed ventures in selling Trump Water, Trump Steaks, and other Trump-branded crap. In the 2000s, he was a reality TV star playing himself in The Apprentice, where he ruled with an iron fist, fired people at will, used the N-word to describe people on the show, and as we know, bragged about grabbing women by their private parts. He also took many trips with his good friend, the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and there is little doubt he shared some of the women they jointly abused. He has been credibly accused of abusing over 20 women, and has been found liable in court for what amounted to rapem and fined $88 million. Since then, he has run a failed university that he used to fleece desperate students, and a fraudulent foundation he used to fund himself with charitable donations, including taking money from a child cancer charity. His company has been convicted of financial fraud, and fined several hundred million dollars. He is currently under indictment in Florida, Georgia, and DC for various crimes. He is a convicted felon 34 times over, and will be sentenced in November on those crimes. Other criminal trials will occur next year.

Trump has devoted a liftetime to cheating, lying, and stealing. No one in their right mind should want a man who has proven unable to govern himself to govern a nation, particularly given that has already had one failed term in office.

Yes, Trump can be entertaining. Is that your criteria for the presidency? Why not elect Bozo The Clown? He'd actually be more competent than Trump.

@windinhishair “Wow, were you born a conspiracy theorist, or did you get indoctrinated by right-wing media later?”

Yes, I came out in my tin foil hat. It is even worse now, as I have also been indoctrinated by the right wing media. No, I will say the FAR right media. I read the most extreme, conspiratorial, pro fascist outlets you could ever imagine. I would tell you what they are called, but it would be too much for you.

Do you think every woman claiming that Trump raped or abused her is telling the truth?

Before 2016, I had already heard of Donald Trump. My understanding was that he was a very rich businessman, and celebrity figure, who had the Trump Towers and went around New York. His personality seemed bold.

“Yes, Trump can be entertaining. Is that your criteria for the presidency?”

The leaders of our countries should make us laugh. Trump is quick and there are few like him. Why do you want these boring, establishment machines and warmongers in power?

@windinhishair
Accusing someone in print, without a shred of evidence, of having committed criminal offenses is libel.
Why would Vladimir Putin, or any other leader of any other nation, even care about the outcome of the US presidential election? If anything, he'd much prefer Kamala Harris to be the president, because he, like so many others, knows she is weak and feeble of mind.

@windinhishair
And you don't provide any context. How convenient. Context matters, because it can change the entire meaning of a statement.
And I guess you're not familiar with figurative language either. Not everything should be taken literally you know.

@Bel6EQUJ5 When someone tells you that they would be a dictator, but just for a day, you should believe that they will be a dictator.

Context is indeed important. Trump sent an angry mob of insurrectionists to the Capitol to stop the vote counting and stop Biden from being elected. So when Trump talks about "bloodbaths" or other violent rhetoric, we should believe him, because his statements are in that larger context.
