It's hilarious watching him talk down to people like he thinks he's actually in charge, and not just a vassal who's literally going to be killed by the people who put him in power.

That stunt about Hunter's laptop story running in the MSM a couple weeks ago wasn't the MSM suddenly having an ethical epiphany, it was the DNC greenlighting the story because now that the presidency seems secured, it's time to throw Biden to the wolves.

Agreed. Good observation. That was strange.

So you cut the first part of the sentence, The part that gives context to the claim and completely reverses the meaning... Wow.

You do know you can't omit The antecedent of a conditional and still preserve the meaning right?

The right would have a lot less reading material if they stopped deliberately decontextualizing events. Like Biden supposedly saying n*gger. There's no way anyone accidentally thought he wasn't reading a transcript.

And it's certainly not exclusive to the right. The left is just as guilty if not more. Trump, and though I'm not a fan, wasn't the monster he was made out to be.

The us vs. them mentality shouldn't be regular American against themselves over political affiliation, race, gender, or religion. It should be all of us vs. the gov. So many people here are worried wearing masks is the gov trying to control us, but they already are playing us off one another like suckers.

Does not reverse the meaning

The entire quote is predicated on the antecedent of the conditional. It completely changes the meaning of the sentence to omit it.
