    Yes. You're literally speaking for the 26k users on Hexbear.

    Nobody really thinks that, like a MAGA communist might say, Trump is somehow "less dangerous" or whatever. Or "at least he's honest" or "reveals the dreck of U.S. imperialism."

    He's done more to radicalize people to the ultra-right than most U.S. Presidents.

      The idea that Trump was a less competent imperialist is very popular here. You are straw manning this to mean, "every person who has every registered an account here agrees with me". Do you think this is a reasonable way to approach what I've disagreed with you about?

      Can you state, in your own words, what points I've made?

        Another thing:

        I'm asking you to ask 26k users on Hexbear what they think and do some sort of poll before acting like your opinion or viewpoint is the most popular.

          Yes, which would be a very silly thing to do and is premised on straw manning what I said. I already directly responded to this, too.

          Firstly there's only like maybe 3k actual users here.

          Secondly I've seen this sentiment expressed enough that I can confidently say it's not a wildly unpopular idea at least.

        "The idea that Trump was a less competent imperialist is very popular here."

        You don't know that.

        Ask the 26k people on Hexbear what they think, each one, or don't bother trying to convince me.

              I suppose I am guilty of disagreeing with you, but why this itself warrants a condemnation is unclear.

              I'm happy to not continue this particular thread but that does require your participation as well. Throwing barbs on your way out and suggesting I don't respond is not reasonable.

            Did you notice that I said I wasn't going to reply after you tried to pull that trick?

        "Can you state, in your own words, what points I've made?"

        Okay, you know what? If you're going to keep editing your comments like this after I reply in order to make it look like I'm not answering your other points then, no, I'm not going to bother.

        Stop adding things to your comments like that.

      26k users lmao. 26k accounts, of which 90% are dead or banned, and the remaining 10% include tons of alts and duplicates. There's probably like 2000 active users on this site.
