Got it. You’re the Elon Musk of Substack. You suddenly appeared in my feed out of nowhere with your creepy followers. I guess there is no escape from the MAGA cesspool of right wing propaganda.

That WAS a hate rally. And everyone who’s not a gaslighting fascist knows it.

Hamish - on one hand you're correct. The discourse isn't that great and the moderators don't enforce a meaningful discussion. On the other hand, I think you're doing a bit of "false equivalency." Trump is objectively cruel, and his supporters at those rallies laugh at his cruelty.

Biden, as a president, should not have said that Trump supporters are garbage, but then, what do you suggest we call people who don't support him - but revere him with cult-like intensity - a candidate guilty of rape, who has made his entire brand one of disrespect, lies, and cruelty yet calls it "love"?

Look, I know you're trying to hype Substack, but saying Biden's one comment (which I would submit is objectively true) is equal and opposite to Trump's avalanche of Hitler-style hatred, is an unwarranted stretch.
