> Trump had way less war than now. Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen.

That’s about as accurate as saying that I ”had“ less war on my previous job. As it turns out, though, the world doesn’t revolve around me, and neither around the US president. Other actors exist, and they make their own decisions.

I don’t know how to take your rambling around free speech seriously. Do you really argue that we should treat „alternative facts“ as valuable free speech? That we should support people actively deceiving others? Maybe, just maybe, when free speech collides with basic democratic resilience, democracy itself ought to win out?

> Trump has literally been brought to a courthouse and had his mugshot taken and you're talking about "jailing opponents"?

For an actual crime he committed. As it is supposed to be. Yet, he pushed for legislation to ensure he’s literally above the law.



> the world doesn’t revolve around me, and neither around the US president

lol, yes you are as important as the US president.

> maybe, when free speech collides with basic democratic resilience, democracy itself ought to win out?

Exhibit A of how libs now are against free speech^

> For an actual crime he committed

For "mislabeling campaign funds", something the DNC and Clinton was fined for doing but never criminally prosecuted. It's simply because people don't like Trump the actual thing he did doesn't matter.


> lol, yes you are as important as the US president.

That’s besides the point. The recent wars didn’t start because Trump wasn’t president, and that wouldn’t have prevented them.

> Exhibit A of how libs now are against free speech^

That… doesn’t relate to what I said. Well. I don’t think I want to continue this discussion.
