    1. Can’t wait for the left to take that literally for their own convenience. It’s ok when they use hyperbole but not us.

    1. @Kobe Ryan Chris Wallace called Trump a White Supremacist, then quickly changed the subject to defend Biden when Antifa was brought up.

      Wallace was working for Biden. It’s obvious, Biden never got interrupted while Trump constantly got shut down for making good points.

    2. @madcheeseknight Or Trump evaded condemning white supremacists, then talked over Biden so he couldn’t respond. The excuses for Trump are wearing thin

    3. @El_Dude Trump doesn’t have to condemn anyone when Democrats are the only ones burning down cities and committing widespread violence on Democrat orders.

      It’s not Right-wingers doing this stuff, why should Trump have to condemn anyone?

    4. madcheeseknight I’m guessing you like White Supremacy then good to know. Trumps base is very easy to spot. Not really a diverse group of people

    5. @madcheeseknight Because he should condemn racist groups altogether, not just because of this singular issue (of course ignoring the kid who killed two people with an AR in WI). His response sealed it for me; he’s a racist actively trying to keep people down based on their skin, not their abilities and people who support him support that view.

    1. My Aunt Aoife gets very upset when Trump keeps picking on her, Why Why … does he keep doing – why not leave this 80 year old lady alone.

    2. ​@Ben Phillips Concepts exist in the minds of people, who then go on to act on their ideas, form groups of like-minded people and form organizations. You can’t tell me the ongoing Antifa terrorism in Portland (and around the country) is “just a concept”. Otherwise you’d have to think that all conservative Americans are part of antifa since, y’know, they’re actually the ones who defeated fascism.

    3. @Valash Ooh, getting philosophical on me now. I like it! Yeah, I’ll agree with the groups part, but organization? No. “Organization” has a meaning beyond just groups of people. Groups are just a collection of people, and a simple collection of people does not an organization make. Collections of people can even _organize_ temporarily and still not be called an “organization”. Organizations typically have members for example. There are no card carrying members of Antifa walking around. Yes, if those conservatives are against fascism they’re antifa. It’s not very hard. I believe the majority of the world are antifa, but Trump cultists have just managed to convince people that antifa is some kind of monster that’ll gobble your balls if you’re not careful or something.

    1. KKK is terrible, anti-fascism is not. If your grandfather fought in WWII (and didn’t have a skull on his hat) he was antifa. It’s frankly a disgrace that you’re even trying to draw an equivalency between racism and those with a commitment to stopping the most evil ideology of all time.

    1. Snowman DTD Nope, leftist mobs come in and destroy, loot, murder, and trump offers federal aid, he tries to send in the national guard to deal with the domestic terrorists, but the local democratic government refuses it. Portland, Seattle, both denied the feds from being allowed in, and once they finally let them, trumps guys eliminated the riots leaving behind only peaceful protests

    2. Aww Skit! Local democratic governments deny trumps federal assistance, allowing the riots to go on for months. When they let trump in, he basically took care of the whole violence problem. There’s still more he’s gotta do, but so far he’s been doing damn good with what he can do

    3. @BL4ZE IT that’s a blatant lie, tRump only offers help to republican states, he says he offered the help to washington and oregon, but he didn’t. He sends in the national guard to create more and more violence. If you support tRump, you support all the crap he stands for. He was president for 4 years and he screwed up big time. Time to get the liar out of the bunker and out of the white house

    4. You think electing our leaders is a waste of time? You must really hate this country. Democratically choosing who leads us is one of the bedrock ideas that this country was built on. The idea of just throwing that out like last week’s trash is sickening.

  1. Trump-doesnt condemn white supremacy.
    Everyone-OMG he is so racist.
    Biden-doesnt condemn ANTIFA.
    Everyone-he will improve law n order and end racial injustice.
    🤦‍♂️

    1. sunny day idk, they punched an antics guy who punched them? I don’t remember what I said but you probably misinterpreted me, someone needs to lock up the terrorist fucks who call themselves “anti fascist “

    2. Why would he condemn anti-fascism? Biden’s not a fascist, so of course he’s not going to condemn those who fight it.

    3. @Ben Phillips

      Because fascism doesn’t exist in the US, so “Antifa” is really just attacking random people.

      Go ahead and lie and deny. There’s numerous videos on it.

      Don’t say you weren’t warned when Trump uses the Insurrection Act. Lol

    1. He showed that he actually understands what antifa is, an ideology rather than a group, something your average Trump cultist doesn’t get.

  2. I’m no supporter of both, but Biden was a lot more calm. Trump was all over the place. Kept on interrupting Joe. Where is his manner? No wonder Joe called Trump a clown and told him to shut up. I would of have drop the F bomb if I was Biden. Trump knows no manner.

    1. Trump repeatedly broke the agreed upon rules to not interrupt. As the moderator Chris tried to real him in, but he started yelling back at Chris. This is not proper debate etiquette, and I’m sorry, but Biden did not interrupt as egregiously as Trump did.
