Former President Donald Trump urged members of a crowd in Florida to vote and said that if he wins, they “won’t have to vote anymore.”
Speaking at a Turning Point Action event in West Palm Beach on Friday, Trump, who tried to overturn the 2020 election he lost, delivered a cryptic message.
“And again, Christians, get out and vote!” he said to a cheering audience. “Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”
When I tag people in certain ways, I often try to ignore that context and give them another chance at a normal human conversation. It is uncanny how often they randomly prove again that yes they are exactly in fact how I originally judged them. That other time was not a one off or a bad day they were having.
I could have been more kind, but you responded sarcastically when I pointed out that what I was talking about had just happened, basically trying to shift blame from yourself instead of just apologizing or admitting that I might have a point. You even kind of implied that because I remember the context, I don’t have a life because your life distracts you from remembering what happens from post to post.
If this is how you typically treat people you’re giving a second chance, it’s no surprise that they respond in kind.
What a fucking victim. None of this is in touch with what I said or meant. There wasn’t sarcasm, I implied nothing about you other than you might be a stickler to expect me to scroll up and click several buttons to confirm I’m on the same page every time someone responds to tell me I’m wrong.
Also I have plenty of positive interactions, sometimes even with people who previously weren’t nice. It’s just unfortunately memorable when people are such dicks.
Exactly, you’re trying to shift the blame away from yourself; it’s my fault for being a stickler, not yours for not even bothering to make sure your point was disproved already in the short thread we’re in.
Look, I don’t blame you for me responding in kind. That’s my own doing and I know I should be better about it. But you’re projecting the victim mentality: you’re blaming me for pointing out that my point had been made. You’re making this whole negative interaction my fault for being a dick.
