President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Funny how terrified the right-wingers still are of the BLM "riots" from 6 years ago. The overwhelming amount of damage done over those events was to property. Hotdogmickey is gonna be crying over those poor Starbucks' windows and overturned empty cop cars for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, ICE is terrorizing entire communities, our government is shipping endless money and
ICE have lately acted like complete scumbags and have engaged in what very strongly looked like an actual summary execution and another totally unjustified shooting.
None of that excuses property damage in the BLM riots, several which were small businesses, and many minority owned, as opposed to corporate entities like Starbucks.

Two things can be wrong at once.
i love how it's twitter that causes political divide and brainrot, and there hasn't been opposing parties and views for hundreds of years before twitter.
Where did I say it’s twitter that causes political divide?
That specific post was clearly twitter brainrot. Noah Smith and Brianna Wu are most popular on twitter. Normie people have no idea who they are.
I see you still adhere to the dumb notion that there are these two separate things called "the internet" and "real life"; and never the twain shall meet. No. These things are almost entirely fused together. The internet is way too ubiquitous for it to not be a serious part of political life. Our wonderful President basically governed via Twitter in his first term. Get with
You’re shadowboxxing something I never said, but ok.
I bet 90% of those participating in the BLM riots had no idea why they were out there other than to break and burn stuff. Also, this was a great time to loot.

i'm on twitter all the time and have never heard of them.

How much you putting up for this bet?
This is absolutely incorrect
Giving a martyr to a large group of idiots who crave violence and are insistent a civil war is not only coming but is necessary, and having that led by power thirsty enablers is not ideal
Pre 2024 election I would agree but I think a decent amount of people who voted for Trump would now not mind seeing his term cut short and would quietly be relieved. The magtards are already a lost cause, they'll always find something to go raging about. Could care less about their feelings or reactions.
Not saying it would be great but would still end up a net positive for the country at the end of the day.
How's Turning Point USA doing?
Not too good! Martyrdom may be overrated for these folks. They need to be actively led every day. An initial surge of emotion, sure. A purge. But then? Nothing. The Abyss.
This was Trump's exact logic for launching the Iran war. Great minds think alike.
There is a 100% chance you've been shown a Briana Wu tweet

Did anyone argue the internet and social media do not have a significant impact on political life?
Admitting that those things have a significant impact on political life is not in tension with arguing that political social media can have deleterious effects on the psychology of individuals or groups.

Wikipedia says 42 people were killed in connection with the BLM riots - we get it your a Democrat that will defend everything to the end - a soldier working for them and getting zero compensation - good job. Your knowledge of ICE is through CNN - you should research factual data as they've been in existence for 20 years and existed under a different name prior.
Not trolling. Thanks for response.
You could be right. Just found her twitter. Don't recognize that face. Don't see anything familiar or similar to anything that comes on my feed. But now that I'm on her page the algo is probably going to start feeding me her stuff. Thanks for that.

Aside from the fact that BLM riots and ICE executions are apples and oranges, where are you getting 42 from?
How many of those deaths were caused by right wingers driving through crowds?
Yeah, "hilariously", many of the deaths associated with BLM protests are targeted executions by right wing agitators and Cops murdering people and he thinks this data point is supposed to own on the libs

lol the people defending the rioting are not democrat ops, they are usually far lefties that hate the democrats. nearly every democratic politician condemned violence and rioting.
But of the people killed it looks like most were “protestors” (not sure if it was in the context of a riot or not)

lol
please allow me to assure you that I absolutely loathe the Democratic Party and CNN... almost as much as I hate roving gangs of thugs with badges arresting, imprisoning, and shooting protestors and also random brown people
ICE didn't exist until 2003, and it wasn't the same agency with merely a different name prior to that. The INS dealt with immigration issues prior to 2003. ICE is basically a beefed-up version of the part of INS that dealt with these issues. You can fit ICE under the umbrella of harsh PATRIOT ACT-style measures brought to us by the last wonderful GOP President before this one, George W. Bush.

He didn't directly argue that, no, but implicit in that dismissive "Twitter brainrot" post is the idea that social media and outside life basically exist in two separate worlds and what happens in one has no effect on the other. This is flatly untrue.
I would bet that the average person consumes news and views posted on the internet more regularly than they consume news and views on TV. These things are inextricably linked.
I enjoy the quibbling over 42 as the number of deaths ascribed to the BLM protests. It's like, we (as in the U.S. military-industrial complex), murder 42 innocent people before lunch on every single day that ends in y. Of course, most of these dead humans we're creating are non-American randoms halfway across the planet, so it's trivially easy for all of those anywhere in between "left" Democrats to Nazis to ignore/dismiss them.

Right when someone says “Fox News brainrot” they are implying Fox News exists as a separate entity outside the real world.
It’s just a bad inference.

That's different, as Fox didn't have to deal with millions of commentors claiming that "televised news media isn't REAL LIFE". Nobody got told to touch grass because they repeated what Sean Hannity said on the tube.
There's nothing inherently brain-rotting in discussing reasonably influential political commentators who primarily post on the internet instead of going on cable news or what-have-you. These are relevant people in the political sphere, to some degree. Nick Fuentes had dinner with the goddamned POTUS. These aren't non-influential people.
