My favorite trick is when they stress the importance of nuance and how their critics "think in absolutes", but the moment you bring up an inconsistency in one of their viewpoints, they accuse you of being a cultist or conspiracy theorist and encourage everyone to ignore you. This is while actively criticizing Trump for ignoring the media for inaccurate reporting.

The media promotes black and white opinions, free of nuance and dialogue. While there are legitimate criticisms of Trump I often see them criticize him for things such as slowly walking down a ramp or the way he drinks water.

What cracks me up is that there are lots of avenues to attack Trump. But all legitimate attacks on him would rebound back on his enemies, who are guilty of the same crimes. So instead, they manufacture totally false stories to attack him with which are consistently disproved. The most hilarious one for me is that they attacked Trump for Ukraine, wherein lies some of the best documented evidence for legitimate BIDEN corruption.

I have no love for Trump and am not a supporter, but the manner in which the Democrats attack him condemns them far more than it condemns him. This is probably why they've put Joe in the basement. Better just to let Trump be out there. They have nothing real to use against him that won't then blow up in their own faces.

None of the Above, 2020

It's the illusion of choice. They all chose to re-sign the patriot act and continue to spy on their own citizens. Democrat or Republican, both are guilty of authoritarianism.
