    Well when you establish democracy after you’ve already destroyed the entire foundation of it, it makes it a lot easier to get the results you want.

    Exactly why the insurrection was kindof an issue.

    Pretty bad faith to argue North Korea though, like there aren’t a lot of other things with the situation that make it massively different from whats happening here.

        You’re confusing sanctioned with qualified.

        Trump does not qualify. By definition. Just like someone under 35 doesn’t qualify. Those are the rules.

            They are not. Quite strictly speaking, the Russian example you gave is an abuse of authority.

            You are comparing a silencing of political opponents to someone who has performed the most basic form of treason. Like, there are no countries where Trumps situation would not be worse for what he has been recorded doing.

            You are blatantly trying to tie together things to support someone who is cut and dry a traitor to the people of the country, not just it’s government, and has already been noted on many accounts that he will disrupt the democracy in the country if elected.

            If you want to keep dying on this hill, I’ll probably just block you because this is a waste of time. Because you’re not here to have a discussion, you’re here to find people who don’t understand these basic concepts that you can potentially sway to your side. In other words you’re a waste of time to argue with, you decided from the outgo what your stance was.
