    The OP is proof of how much Trump has stretched the overton window, to the point that you can find liberals saying that 2016 Trump might have had a pass for some.

      Yeah Trump has been openly fascist since long before he became president. Anyone with two ears and a functional brain could see that.

      Exactly. And all of these commenters saying “Yes, well what if the person we’re talking about is just media illiterate and doesn’t pay attention to politics or has been incredibly successfully hiding under a rock for the last 8 years”… literally all someone has to do to determine that Trump is a horrible excuse for a human being is to read anything he’s ever said or watch any of his appearances on camera. Any of them. Take your pick. If you can’t clock that he’s a fucking monster within 5 minutes of whatever clip he’s in, then either you have no understanding of the difference between right and wrong, or you’re dumb as hell. And if you do clock that he’s a shithead and vote for him anyway, that makes you as bad as he is.

      And hey, I get it. There are some incredibly stupid people in this world. But, like, 73.5 million people voted for that fat orange idiot in 2020. So it seems statistically unlikely that all of those people would fall into that category. For all, or even the majority of Trump’s voters to not be shit human beings would be a statistical wonder.
