Stories that talk about all the bad things Trump has done are only seen by the left. This makes the left hate Trump and his supporters more, while the right feels increasingly “oppressed” by this hate. They run to their savior Trump and the viscous cycle continues. More media presence for him only adds to his influence, negative press possibly moreso than positive.

People on the left should ignore Trump and talk about real issues. It is the only way to defeat a sith.

    I disagree.

    Removing these discussions simply normalizes it and allows it to flourish. You can’t allow these things to go unchecked or else no one will simply pay attention. How much popularity did Trump lose from “Project 2025”? Imagine if all the people out there didn’t talk about it and discuss how truly awful the plan was. What about when he mentioned how he would encourage Israel to level all of Gaza? The controversy surrounding those kinds of statements is the only reason why Arab-Americans are hesitant to not throw in their vote with Harris. You don’t tolerate intolerance. That just allows it to grow and take root in your society.

      There is a middle ground I’ve wanted since 2016.

      Ignore all the incendiary crap he says online and at his rallies. Not everything he says is news worthy. But real substantive info about him should be covered.

      Project 2025 was never really about him. It’s just a Republican wish list. It could be Trump, or it could be someone else who gets the next chance to choose from it.

        I would say there should be no middle ground. This man was POTUS as well as the Republican nominee for President this election cycle. Everything he says is news-worthy. Ignoring that just emboldens him.

        Project 2025 was never really about him. It’s just a Republican wish list. It could be Trump, or it could be someone else who gets the next chance to choose from it.

        He chose his team. His team made this plan and he endorsed it until he realized just how unpopular it was. Therefore, it’s his plan. Harris has come under fire recently for campaigning with Liz Cheney and people are saying she’s intentionally surrounding herself with the wrong kind of people, and they’re not wrong there IMO. Why can’t we say the same about Trump?

          Harris has come under fire recently for saying she’s going to have Liz Cheney in her cabinet

          This is categorically false. She has said she’d put a Republican in her cabinet, but she has not said it would be Cheney.

            Just looked it up and realized you’re right. She’s just campaigning with her and some people suggested that she may offer Cheney a cabinet position. Still a shitty person to campaign with IMO. I’ll correct my comment.
