Is the assertion that he can't make bad decisions? Not trying to get into a policy debate. I'm just saying that believing that someone is pure, infallible and can do no wrong is cult like behavior. It's the inverse of TDS.

TDS = everything trump does is evil and wrong because Trump did it.

Trump cult= if you criticize Trump you are wrong because Trump isn't wrong.

It's the same intellectual failure. There is no difference.

I agree in your assessment in theory. But, I'm asking, outside the realm of theory, which decisions do you actually have a problem with?

Being critical of someone for the sake of being critical, doesn't make you a critical thinker. It's just kind of snobbish. In reality, what actual decisions have made been bad for the world and/or America?

If you don't have any, then you don't really have a criticism... And are in fact wrong 🤷‍♂️

My criticism isn't of trump. My criticism is blindly worshipping him or hating him.

Are you asking me if a criticism I have of Trump so we can debate that particular issue?

I think your misunderstanding who I'm criticizing.

Not at all. Maybe a better way of saying it is, you're either critically thinking about actions or the man. If someone is either praising or hating the man, they're on the wrong boat.

If you can objectively look at actions and results, then you're on the right track. Most don't pay attention to the actions, They dwell on the man. That's all I'm saying.

Then we are saying the same thing. 🤝

Glad we worked that out 😅

Imagine this on X

Lol. Might as well be thanksgiving with the family over there 👀

If you really want something I guess Id say his rhetoric is what I disagree with the most.

On policy, take schedule F. I think it's mostly a gimmick and would not result in the downsizing of the federal government.

But I don't see the point really. We can debate a specific policy or rhetoric. My point is that delusional people can be found on all parts of the political spectrum. A natural distrust of elected officials is healthy and a founding concept.

So Trump, Biden or anyone else shouldnt be your savior. That's dangerous. Very dangerous.

The critizism is almost always style over substance, almost always shallow as a dry pond
