Why don't you just go ahead and tell me why you dislike her since i know that is where this is going....

😉
I am more interested in reading why you like her than writing/posting why I don't.

I'll appease you anyways with 5 quick reasons of the top of my head.
1. I believe she is racist.
2. I believe she is extremely condescending and has no real reason to be.
3. I believe her Blexit shit is highly offensive - and ignorant.
4. I believe she is not nearly as intelligent as she thinks/pretends she is.
5. I believe she's a fraud.
And I don't.

But i do disagree with her on many topics.

You still haven't told me (and others) why you like her.
It's ok, I probably shouldn't care and should just move on.

You call everyone you disagree with on the right grifters it seems like...which also coincides with the exact time CNN started using the word regularly. Probably just a coincidence. 🤣

Grifter = a person who engages in petty or small-scale swindling.

Not sure that what she does qualifies as that, but to each their own.
I never had a need to use that term so frequently prior to the Trump administration outside of being a big fan of the series "Leverage".

Hard to pass some of these up.

Also comparing things to the civil war repeatedly.

I think it's just more noticeable and aggravating when it's "the other side".

Unfortunately for me, since i don't really like either side very much, it is all aggravating. If this was a messageboard filled with GOPers I'd probably be considered a crazy lefty.

You don't remember the Huff Post headline: "This Donald Trump Rally Looks Like A Scene From Nazi Germany"? I do. I remember lots of similar things and statements.

I do.

I have seen fascism mischaracterized and applied incorrectly for 4 entire years....and now not a peep about it as many push for mandatory vaccinations. Ironic.

Fucking autocorrect can be so fucking fascist sometimes.

And I’m trying to think of examples that mighta been fascist of Trump.

Firing Comey for refusing to drop the Russia investigation?

Redacting much of the Mueller report?

Refusing to release the full Ukraine phone call?

Calling state Secretaries of State to overturn election results?

I dunno.

All examples of fascist like tendencies maybe....but we were not living under fascist rule.

No big deal. Not nit picking. I just think people get a little (a lot) carried away.

Mandatory vaccinations are not like the Holocaust. And i doubt we ever have true mandatory vaccinations for covid. Certain businesses and agencies will, and that's their right. If people don't like it they are free to leave is how i guess it'll go (because that's how it is going so far). No door to door mandatory show your papers or web will hold you down and vaccinate you every 8 months. Just not realistic or feasible.
