Because from everything I'm seeing on social media (and hearing from people who talk to me), the answer is yes.

So yes, I will push back on bullshit, as I have on bullshit propagated by the right. Notice I challenged the anti-vax BS and the 2020 election was stolen BS.

Pushing lies about a politician because he or his supporters have lied themselves in the past is bad form.
I’m shocked you of all people are taking this so hard. You’re the free speech guy.

If we listed the people who have posted absolute bullshit here it would be

1-desert runner

2-split

3-?


And when he is exposed every time he flips the script and says he just does it to tilt libtards. He is the original accuse everyone of being a pedo when there aren’t even fucking kids involved. Like I’d feel worse for you here if you didn’t continually allow that for 7 years now.

Split is an OG and not a volume poster, so whatever. But we come here as a guilty pleasure and we get to watch you express frustration at your friend, put some limit that lasts three days, and he is back posting fake shit again the next day in ten threads unfettered.

You simply don’t give a fuck when it’s fake partisan shit you like. I mean you don’t like it, but you don’t stop it when you have 100% ability to do so. What do you want us to do other than laugh at this?

Your boy Trump has taken lying to an art form. And I don’t necessarily agree with you that he’s innocent. I agree he’s not proven guilty yet. I feel like it’s 50/50, but 100% he knew.

But we know a hundred of these people fucked these girls and it’s not like they are dropping details in the emails of sex acts. Pedophiles aren’t going to discuss details.

And we also disagree with what is covering. I feel like silence is covering at that age.

Like I’m 24 and my buddy is fucking high school girls I’m taking him aside and saying wtf is wrong with you? At 50 he’s getting a tire iron and I’m going to let the girls parents know and run with it how they choose. If not it’s on me when some troubled kid slits her wrists.
I've deleted a lot of desertrunner's meme posts, spent time writing restrictions into the software to curtail stuff like that, and openly argued with him here when he's posted things with which I didn't agree.

It's not like I just let him run rampant with incorrect memes and only comment when it's the same stuff from the left.

There is a huge difference between not reporting a crime you're aware of, and committing the crime yourself. It's not even close. The Paterno situation was so bad because this stuff was happening on the team he was leading, and despite being told about what was going on, he looked the other way and more boys got molested. Had Paterno simply stayed silent when a friend unrelated to the team was molesting boys, he wouldn't have had anywhere near the same fallout.

I've never claimed that Trump was a good person. That's why I was appalled when he was in line to be the Republican nominee in 2016. I didn't want someone like him leading the country.

When he led the country in a fashion which I liked, eventually I softened on him, figuring that the important thing was his competency to lead and pursuing policies I liked, even if he was someone I wouldn't want as a friend.

As I've stated many times, I wasn't happy with his post-2020-election behavior, and also haven't been happy with much of his second term. I don't just blindly defend things he's said and does, and never will.

But I also won't join the cacophony of partisan bullshit which is meant to push false narratives about him. It's not a matter of whether I feel sorry for him. I don't. Trump causes a lot of his own problems.

But yeah, when people say that the emails show Trump is a pedo, or when they say that he was praising white supremacists with his infamous "very fine people" statement, I'm going to push back and clarify.

If you've never found yourself thinking or saying, "Wow, that looks like bullshit and is unfair to Trump, even if he deserves a lot more scorn for things he actually did", then you're not approaching this in good faith.



You mentioned Gamergate. That was also entirely bullshit. I won't rehash it because it's from 11 years ago, but I remember debunking it to some liberals on Facebook, who were sure they had me totally owned with their "facts". I then posted very convincing evidence that each one of these four "victims" were liars with a history of dishonesty and grifting. Finally one of them said, "Okay, fine, you're probably right about these women. But we need to support them anyway because there's so many real female victims in gaming, and that's what they represent. So if we don't support the ones getting attention, we let all the female gamers down."

That's the basic attitude I see with how Trump haters handle him. They figure that he lies so much himself and gets away with it, it's their moral imperative to bring him down with lies about him. And if you dare point out these lies, you're labeled a MAGA sycophant.
