Jenny<p>Being a convicted felon is the 3,753,849th reason why, in my opinion, people should not vote for trump for president. But just to be fair and balanced, I also promise not to vote for Hunter Biden for president. </p><p>Glad that’s settled then.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/trumpConviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpConviction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Biden2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Biden2024</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VoteBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VoteBlue</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BothSidesAreNotTheSame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BothSidesAreNotTheSame</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SaveDemocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SaveDemocracy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Election2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Election2024</span></a></p>

BronMason For Kamala 2024<p>My hair’s sure on fire hearing Mike Johnson’s smug assurance that scotus will swoop in to cancel trump’s felony conviction — like canceling an Amazon order‼️ </p><p>Normally, I’d dismiss such a stupid idea as a right-wing fever dream, but the current scotus majority is SO biased &amp; compromised, they cannot be trusted!</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/C7wsqbRRiNa" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/</span><span class="invisible">C7wsqbRRiNa</span></a></p>

Hasani Hunter<p>13/13 So of course the guy believes Trump is being persecuted rather than prosecuted. He is the “Great Donald Trump”. I honestly don’t care about what they believe. <br>What I do care about is what are they going to do in support of that belief.</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>12/ Last time I checked, there wasn’t a bunch of rednecks hoarding classified documents in their beach golf clubs or paying hush money to pornstars as they were running for president.</p><p>I mean this is very specific conduct for a specific kind of person to be able to do. But he has been successful in getting these people to believe they are like him</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>11/ I agree with him that we have a two tiered justice system, but I come at that conclusion from the other way. </p><p>The reason that Trump has been allowed to do and say all the bullshit he has up to this point is *because* of the two tired justice system. The fact that Trump is being prosecuted at all stems from how egregious his conduct has been.</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>10/ By defining Trump as being “great”, anything and everything negative that happens to him is at best suspect and worst a desperate plot to prevent him from realizing his “glorious purpose”.</p><p>Trump at this point is a symbol. When the guy says if “this can happen to Trump, it can happen to you”, he at once recognizes that Trump is not like him, but yet says that he is? The only thing Trump and this guy have in common is that they are both white men</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>9/ Anyway back to the original video. I initially thought the guy was being facetious when he referred to Trump as the “Great Donald Trump”, but the more I listened to his rant, the more I got a sense of his foundational line of reasoning.</p><p>To refer to someone as “great” is to minimize or ignore things that don’t make them “great”. Otherwise they wouldn’t be “great”. If that makes sense</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>8/ I just wish more people were aware that their fear is being monetized. Maybe it has always been that way, but maybe it’s easier to see these days.</p><p>Fear is used to buy more guns, fear is used to sell more newspaper subscriptions. The Washington Post tagline is “Democracy dies in darkness”. </p><p>According to the Washington Post, democracy only costs $0.99 every four weeks. Otherwise.. you know “Democracy dies in darkness”</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>7/ But Biden wouldn’t be in this position if he </p><p>1) recognized that the political landscape has changed (support expanding the Supreme Court)</p><p>2) not being complicit in an ongoing genocide </p><p>3) His rich friends are doing fine, but the average American is struggling with corporate profiteering (and not call it inflation)</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>6/ So American politics is basically boiled down to “don’t vote for the other guy”. But what are we really voting for? A vote against Trump for example might well be a vote against losing democracy. </p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>

Hasani Hunter<p>5/ Fear is so effective that the mainstream media uses it as engagement farming to sell more ad space. Meanwhile voters fear gauge is pegged to 11.</p><p>From my point of view, this isn’t an accident. Keeping people fearful allows the politicians to obtain or keep power without having to be held accountable to their constituents.</p><p>The main thrust lately about voting for Biden is to deny Trump the presidency. </p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>4/ one thing that I’ve given a lot of thought to is how much of our politic is driven by fear. Trump campaigns on fear: “we are losing the country”, etc.</p><p>Biden and the democrats are campaigning on fear as well: “Democracy is at stake”</p><p>This has been a problem for decades in American politics because that’s a great and easy way to galvanize supporters to keep politicians in power.</p><p>Fear can cause you to ignore the rational side of the brain and suspend critical thinking</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>3/ I hate to say this, but If Trump gets jailed, or loses in November, those of us that aren't carrying concealed or otherwise armed, are behind curve. These people are extremely serious and Trump at this point is their symbol.</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
Hasani Hunter<p>2/ Here is the money quote from the video:</p><p>"Tyrants and evil people can't be reasoned with. They cannot be negotiated with. They cannot be convinced that their ways are wrong. And for all of you that think there is a way out of this without there being some real hard times, the quicker you can accept the reality for what it is and what's coming, the better off you're going to be”</p><p>On this point, I actually agree with him.</p><p> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://my-spaces.social/tags/trumpconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpconviction</span></a></p>
