@randahl jeg synes ikke man skal kalde folk navne baseret på deres udseende, uanset hvor dumme man synes de er. Det er jo netop det vi kæmper for, altså accepten af alle måder at være menneske på.

Man mister også muligheden for at påtale når de andre gør det.

@jeppe @randahl It's not a question of appearance but of being objectively evil. If you don't think Trump is evil you haven't paid enough attention.

@samueljohnson @jeppe @randahl

It would depend on your definition of evil. Are all dictators evil? Those who murder population groups certainly are. At this point, Trump is hell bent to distroy our country as we know it, but does that make him evil?

Just my thoughts.

@BobCollins
Trump has given the order to kill suspected criminals with air strikes in international waters — without trial.

He has caused the death of COVID-19 patients by deliberately making false claims about the virus, countermeasures, and treatments.

He is convicted of sexual assault.

And he is currently abusing the US justice department to ruin the lives of prosecutors who did their jobs of investigating his crimes.

Would you not call that evil?

If you open the net too broadly you will find that it includes leaders from most all countries, including every US president.

Trump and his army of sicophants are horrible people, but I set the bar for evil higher than that.

From my observation, Trump is a self-absorbed person whose primary goal is to serve himself in every way possible. His followers are either happily living off his droppings or too ignorant to understand that he doesn't give a damn about them.

As far as his "policing," he is mostly just doing what previous leaders have done, only with less requested consent.

On the axis of evil, you should be focus on the likes of Netanyahu. As a government leader, he is well into the evil grade.

@BobCollins Trump is far past the bar of evil. His thugocracy supports and arms the genocide in Gaza, kills foreign nationals, uses brutality against immigrants and people who aren't white, employs white supremacists and far right extremists (even if you refuse to count him amongst them), both commits and pardons people for so-called white collar crime, and also pardons violent insurrectionists after first inciting them to violence. The man is 100% evil.

@BobCollins @randahl @samueljohnson @jeppe I agree that we should use the term 'evil' with discretion. When I look at Mr Drumpf, I see a man way past unsavoury, selfish or mean spirited. The deliberate targeting of the weak, his callous disrepespect for health of mind and body of others, all the while very much aware of his position and thus the magnified impact of his actions, that to me is at the very least malignant. His nature, multiplied by his job is a reign of terror and, I think, evil.

@jeppe @randahl probably not against spray tan in general (but I share your general point). If it's against the Trump? Brilliant.

@jeppe @randahl the spray tan isn't how he actually looks. It's symbolic of how fake he is. My wife always tells me how important/political it is how people dress and what they choose to do with their bodies. What are they trying to tell us? What are they trying to cover up? I think for trump it's the tip of the iceburg that he hides behind a mask. I'm always going to judge someone for using spray-on tans, that stuff is carcenogenic and should be illegal, another thing to think about.

@randahl @ryanc As a general rule, I find that “humorous” anti-Trump signs (like all the “Cheetos” ones) ring hollow now it’s no longer 2017 and we’re into full-blown fascism, but for that one I will make an exception 😊
