    I get that it sounds like I like the smell of my farts but I am just very rational, which is not always a good trait.

    I am not going to vote for trump, and I am not part of his cult, but not being in a cult I can see what you cult is saying and what their cult is saying and I think I am close to what the truth is. The people that told you all the negative things you believe also told you Biden was “sharp as a tack”, why do you believe them still?

      Well, you can declare yourself to be thus and such but far its worse than just liking the smell of your own farts. Its close to that but if you also add presuming those that don’t agree that your farts smell like roses aren’t rational.

      I’m not even American. So, I’m not part of either of the two cults. I don’t expect someone wrestling a pig in shit not to get messy. It would be irrational not to. If one is being seen as sharpe as a tack, then both are.

      Speaking of being rational, how rational is it to change my option on the whole of the worlds media on the one story you’ve cherry picked?

      Please don’t think I’m not noticing you avoiding the issues I’ve raised with trump, all of which being far worse than being a bit old.

      Why do you presume the cult that tried to overthrow your democratically elected government to be telling anything close to the truth? You can declare its your observations and, apparently, unrivalled rationality but I hope you understand that would just come across as comedically ironic.

        on the one story you’ve cherry picked?

        Lol one story… Dude its hundreds of stories with all the same people repeating the lies or misleading headlines.

        I am more than happy to explain what part of your trump stories is misleading or exaggerated, but the problem is that when you are part of a cult (even if you dont get to vote) you wont be be able to hear it. If you have any direct questions I will answer them, but I am not interested in writing a bunch to have you say “nu-uh”.

        And again, I am not even a trump voter, he is better than the other side, but still not too great.

          Yes, cherry picked. Its still one story, even if its repeated lots of times. All I’m asking for is a cogent example of another.

          Again you’re not engaging with how he tried to overthrow your democracy or is a convicted fellow. How strange that you completely act like it wasn’t said again.

          Haha, yeah, I see. The reason you won’t isn’t because you don’t have anything you can back up. No, its because its SO true that I wouldn’t be able to handle it. Also, because you can’t handle anyone disagreeing with what you said. Also also, its me who’s in a cult and not you, despite the above.

          Well, good luck with that one. You’re going to need it.

          Maybe someone, somewhere will believe it. Not me though, as I’m not complete moron who falls for anything but someone out there i’m sure.

            Examples of direct lies or completely misleading things off the top of my head; russian bounties, pee tapes, wouldnt go to and the memorial because he would get wet, putting bleach in your body for covid, russian collusion, trump says he wants to be a dictator, and more! Another big one - bidens whole campaign started on the “very fine people” hoax.

            Which would you like me to engage on in particular?

              Yeah, I’ve seen the video of him claiming a sort of bleach will cure covid. So, let’s hear all about how I should refute the evidence of my eyes and ears or else I’m in a cult.

              Explain that to me as if I was 5.

                Please show me the video where he claims it would cure covid. The video I have seen is him asking question and if they are going to look into things, what is wrong with asking questions?

                    I have seen a single video of the bleach thing (where he also talked about putting light in the body), and it was not a recommendation he was asking if they would look into it. If you have a video of him saying people should do it, I would be interested in seeing it, if not then you are just repeating a lie.
