not everything he says is indicative of what he does.

That’s stupid!

You haven’t actually been paying attention. Every single time he says something, he’s tried to do it.

The declaration of the possibility of the use of military force in Panama has to be taken at face value. Don’t be a fucking moron.

Your theory of attention management is stupid and bad.

That’s so fucking stupid! They’re covering it because it’s news!

You are fundamentally incorrect.

All media/journalism is struggling to make ends meet and no one in (real) media wants Trump to be in power. This cynical theory of the media is fucking stupid.

How are you this stupid? You go to political instances and find the primary political figure of the president of the most powerful nation on earth being discussed and you’re surprised? Upset?

How do you manage to articulate your viewpoint without realizing how stupid it is?

That’s stupid.

This is the bad thinking that must be extirpated at the root.

Shut the fuck up. You fucking moron. What happened the last time he was president? He tried to assassinate foreign leaders and was stopped by Mattis. He summoned his militia to the capitol and mounted an insurrection.

He’s only a troll to you because that makes you feel better.

Stop it. Stop spreading your stupid ignorance.

But the denialism in OP needs to stop too and it has to be appropriate to call it STUPID. You can’t ignore the malignancy when it’s in the presidency and hope it will go away. Every single thing Trump says is serious and literal until someone in his administration stops him.

It’s one of the stupidest most pathetic excuses downplaying the serious things Trump is saying. It’s appropriate to take Trump seriously and literally.

You really fucking believe he wouldn’t nuke a hurricane? Why would you believe that? He does all sorts of stupid things. Sometimes he’s told no and the morons take it as evidence that he wasn’t ever serious.

The incoming president has declared his intent to expand the borders of the US north and south. That’s news. If you don’t take that seriously and literally, you’re just burying your head in the sand. Stop spreading this mindless denialism.

You can’t ignore the truth in order to banish the post-truth confusion. He gets his name in the spin machine because he won the presidency. Get used to it and don’t pretend trying to hide from it is a successful strategy.

it’s one thing if you need to check out of the news for your mental health but “don’t feed the toddler attention” isn’t a suitable approach to the presidency’s use by the 78 year old whose orders will be taken seriously and literally.

Trump is actually threatening to invade Panama, that’s not just a ‘distraction.’

Trump actually did try and lock Hillary Clinton up, it wasn’t just bullshit.

I despise the extent to which denialism hides in believing that if we ignore or don’t report on the facts of Trump’s terrifying actions (speeches are actions) that will somehow improve the situation.

unironically, he ought to be next, and he better know it, and he better go quietly

learn to write.

But fair enough, I can see how that might have been misinterpreted.

Yeah speak more carefully.

idk man you said we didn’t know if Trump was going to be like Sulla and give up his power and that’s a stupid fucking thing to say.

You’re an idiot because you think that Trump would ever resign like Sulla did.

These are not problems I have. I do have the problem of pseudofascist apologia being literally everywhere. You emitted trash nonsense. We already know what Trump is. Shut the fuck up.

If Trump is elected to a second term it will be a disaster and there is no ambiguity as to the nature of Trump for he has already declared civil war against the will of the American people. You are an idiot.

It is idiocy and I am not obliged to respect it as anything but idiocy.
