    Sure, go ahead and “whataboutism” for the mental decline of an octogenarian that we were ALL calling out as an issue leading up to the 2020 and also 2024 election, but we literally voted for this man, knowing full well that his mental faculties were declining, simply because “your” guy is nonstop trying to overthrow a democratic nation and turn it into a dictatorship, inciting violence, using racist slurs, rolling back protections for women that were hard fought during the civil rights era for decades, and generally being an insufferable jackass, who’s a convicted felon, rapist, and was selling secrets to foreign agents from his home after, and during his presidency, saluted a hostile foreign nation, praises Putin and other dictators constantly, has bankrupted 2 casinos (seriously, the only person to have done that anyone can recall), can’t create charities anymore because the last one he created for children ended up embezzeling the funds to the “trump org” and paid $0 to kids with cancer or research or anything, etc.

    But by all means, let’s talk about the superficial differences between the two, without acknowledging that you either willingly have supported attempted fascist overthrows of America for the last 8 years, or you’re ignorant of the world; so which one is it?

    The reason your side is losing, is because nobody likes to live in a fascist society except the people on top. Fascism never wins for long. There are far, far, far, far more of Americans against you, than with you. You can use all the lies and denials you want around illegal votes , but you know, deep down, none of that shit is really true, and it should scare you to know that you are deeply on the wrong side of history, you are not the protagonist in your own story. You are the villains, the Nazis, in this case.

    Nothing you say or do to defend that will change that fact. The only thing you can do, is better. Be a better person to your fellow man and lift people up and support the less fortunate and treat everyone with respect and equality regardless of their country of origin or skin color or religious or political beliefs.

    It’s difficult, I know. It’s not easy for anyone. But you could make the effort starting today.
