Think about what you're fighting for

In a wide-ranging interview with OAN host Dan Ball, Trump praised his time in office and lamented record inflation and a number of other issues stalling any progress previously made. According to the Republican leader, Democrats are looking to “destroy” the country and pose a more pressing threat than any other potential enemies abroad.

“They’re looking to destroy the country. You know, I say it often, our challenge within, the danger from within, meaning people in this country, people that are ruining this country is greater in my opinion than outside, than outside nations and what they want to do to us.”

That’s the ex-president of the United States, the man charged with safeguarding all citizens and ensuring their welfare, telling you that half this nation is the enemy you should hate and fear. Your fellow neighbors, co-workers, citizens, friends and family members. If war is to be declared, it should be against the (ostensibly) greatest threat, its own citizens.

That’s what your guys is peddling. That’s the poison he’s selling. All for his own vanity.

What leader roots for civil war?

But Trump isn't president, his words are just opinion, they carry no weight.

Biden who is the sitting president declaring that conservatives are terrorists and fascists does carry weight.

The only leader rooting for half the country to be silenced is Joe Biden.
@Roadsterrider Are you saying that Biden is more than a placeholder?

@MistyCee What I am saying is that pointing out that Trump saying that democrats are trying to destroy the country is like trying to start a civil war, while giving Biden a pass on calling republicans terrorists is utter hypocrisy.

@Roadsterrider Trump’s words do carry weight. If we’ve proven one thing during his tenure, it’s that he can sell snake oil.

Conservatives are the closest thing we have to fascism in this country right now. They align themselves with the very principles of authoritarian and fascist rule. It’s about time somebody called it for what it is, and it might as well be the current president of the US.

@Graylight I appreciate your opinion, but Trump wasn't trying to mandate vaccines, trying to forgive loans that he as POTUS has no authority to forgive. He wasn't trying to silence opposition. And things were in a much better state with his hand at the helm.

Biden hasn’t nor does he want to mandate vaccines. In not forgiving student debt, we create many more long-term problems for the country, And he is to this very day trying to silence the opposition by telling half the country they are the greatest enemy known to the US.@Roadsterrider

@Graylight Here is an article from CNBC, not a conservative source, discussing the SCOTUS blocking Biden's vaccine mandate.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/13/supreme-court-ruling-biden-covid-vaccine-mandates.html

There are currently people in the military who are being discharged because they don't want to be vaccinated.

In not forgiving student debt, we are going to create more problems? How? What is a contract worth if it can be broken by someone who isn't even a party to the contract? When there is no faith in anything because a politician can arbitrarily renege on the contract, it will be harder to everything for everyone, not just the students who don't want to pay their debt that they obligated themselves to. I have a student loan outstanding, before I signed for the loan, I knew the interest rates, I knew the terms, I knew when payments would commence. It is part of a student loan process. Every one who borrows money gets the same info. In addition to what was disclosed about the loan, I investigated on my own what a degree in the field of study would generate for a salary, Whether the salary would justify the expense and if I would have a return on my investment that made it worth it.

It isn't the lenders fault nor is it the taxpayers fault if students made poor decision about career or credit choices.
