I tend to be a pretty "go with the flow" kind of person. I'm very patient and very understanding. I'm the last person to judge anyone about anything—as long as you can back up why you did it, or rather, why you thought that way.
But one thing that has always—and probably will always—get to me:
I get that complaining is necessary sometimes. We all do it. But most of us complain with a reason. Then there are people who are still sitting around complaining about Trump with no valid reason. It just seems pointless to me.
If you don't like him, fine—tell us why. Don’t just say he’s stupid or that he’s a bad person. Because while he might be, not having a reason for why you think that just makes you sound whiny—and frankly, downright silly.
I don’t like Biden. I never did. And if you asked me why, I could give you several, several, several reasons. None of them are because he’s old. But let’s be real—he pretty much showed us throughout his whole presidency that he was incompetent and didn’t know what he was doing.
From the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left Americans and allies stranded, to the constant confusion and lack of clarity in his public speeches—it felt like we were watching someone who wasn’t fully in control. Inflation skyrocketed under his administration, gas prices went through the roof, and the southern border was a mess. He kept avoiding tough questions, often deflecting or giving vague answers, and half the time it felt like he didn’t even understand the questions being asked. That’s not the leadership we needed.
Anyway, end of rant. Moral of the story: if you're going to complain about someone, have a reason.

That's the thing with liberals, Democrats and Trump haters. They can NEVER explain the WHY. It's like a back and forth between another member here who consistently argued that Trump is against or violating the Constitution. "Tell me which amendments he is violating." He couldn't come up with a single one, basically saying, "Even if I told you, you'd think it wasn't wrong."
But the point is...you can't come up with a single amendment as an example, and that's more telling of the quality of your "argument" than anything else. Because if you knew the answer, you'd be able to explain it.
Any more it's just tiring. But of course, I'll still defend what I know and try to set the record straight wherever I can. To what end, who knows?
