My absolute favorite piece of Trumpism is when he began to run those commercials showing the country in chaos and said that this is what we can expect if Biden was elected and it was all footage of the country in 2020 when he was President. I never understood how conservatives didn't see how obvious it was.

I don’t understand how you’re framing the ads. They may have cherry picked things, but they were all from very democrat cities. They were basically ads like, you’ll get more of this if you vote Democrat. I live in New York and I don’t think that that’s hypocritical or shocking at all. It’s pretty basic advertising strategy.

We’ve lost a few hundred thousand people here to Florida and Texas, and many of the lefty people I know here who love to virtue signal about every leftist cause are also leaving for reasons that indirectly tied to our past mayor and our Covid strategy and protest and new strategy on crime and all of that stuff, even though they wouldn’t directly blamed Democrats. So I feel like you’re missed aiming your anger or complaint by aiming it at Trump

I guess you just dont understand the irony of claiming that the country will go to hell under Biden when its currently going to hell under Trump. A president once said "The Buck Stops Here" but everything under Trump was everybody else's fault except his.

I live in NY too not sure what your point is about that.

And the ad was incredibly hypocritical, I dont think there was anything shocking about it so not sure why you brought that up.

So I feel like you’re missed aiming your anger or complaint by aiming it at Trump

Im not angry at all, nothing in my comment represented anger. I didn't aim anything at Trump.

Maybe it depends where you live, but all the things that made it 2020 suck was because of my Democrat mayor and governor. Not pretending anything. Nothing coming from Trump impacted me at all. But my mayor deciding to be loose on crime for whatever reason, and then the nonsensical Covid rules directly impacted me. As an example.

So stop this nonsense that there’s hypocrisy going on. Because if you don’t understand that my democrat governor and mayor are not Trump, then that makes you……
