BTW I did vote for Trump, and I do think he’s doing a decent job under the circumstances, but (a) I could be wrong; and (b) I never attach myself to politicians and will throw him under the bus in two seconds if I think he deserves it.

But I’m mostly posting in reaction to what IMO are some shockingly credulous takes about what’s happening right now.

It’s okay to admit you’re wrong.

it's okay to admit you don’t know

But that’s not the case.

Ok for you too

I’m not though.

Correction: you don’t “think” you are wrong

He doesn’t either. None of us do

And to be honest this is a fluid situation. We don’t know

I get the “confidence makes you more persuasive” shtick but there’s quite a bit of uncertainty here

he said "I could be wrong" right there

So close

Imagine the sense of relief when you just get off the fence though.

I really could be wrong, but there’s a big difference between being actually wrong on the facts — say Trump really did get us into a protracted Iraq-like quagmire — and being out of of step with credulous narrative purveyors or TDS sufferers.

I’ll take my Ls if and when they’re deserved, no problem with that, but not before then.

There is no such thing as TDS, so that’s where I jump off. I like you otherwise, Chris. Let’s just have a great day. ✌️

Ha — TDS is real, I know people who think he wants to put black people in camps, kill gay people, etc, whether or not you personally have it.

But I can certainly agree to have a great day!

Why does Trump have camps?

What's the end game of his camps?

A large base of his support has been lost with these hypocritical actions, selling a pro business no war platform, and isolating the US like never before. One can only get strung along so far before his own actions leave the inevitable conclusion.. the shitcoin stuff, shoes, merchandising, and publicity stunts adds to insult.

The shitcoining, the 1A violations legit bad. Deserves criticism for both. But let’s see how this Iran situation plays out before we jump to conclusions, that’s really my point.

Why type when you don't care what you type?
