The country will vote for a convict over a woman, with the only reason being "she isn’t condemning this thing in another continent" (when he isn’t either and is doing and promising worse).

100% agreed with everything you just said. It's sad, downright pathetic what this country has become.

[@imjustapotatoleavemealone]

I can understand it, but also... Every administration since Reagan mishandled classified records. Literally all of them, this one was just the one that got popular and caught up by the media, and since Legal Eagle is as a youtube channel follows the trends they also looked into the legal aspects of it. Using it as an argument that it is unjust is just pointless. Stop radicalizing peoples, it does no good, it only does damage... I don't live in the US, but with visa i seen both camps. They aren't that dissimilar to eachother, and if you guys would just... talk... or something there would be way-way less issues of a sort. Both camps are generally great peoples who wants the best for the country, but they both lie about the other to get their camp bigger... I got told that i might get shot if i go to Trump rally and they are racists, they would not welcome me and they are bad peoples... Surprisingly non of it was true not even a single bit. Instead they told me that Harris rally is full with extremist, which also wasn't true at all. What was really interesting is that while in Trump rally you seen the "American culture", they played the American anthem, working generally lower class peoples proud to their country and their achievements; in Harris rally you seen peoples that got together, because they hated Trump... I just don't understand why you guys chose to be this divided and seeing only the bad in the other side...

[@tracychristenson177]

I hope that Trump supporters understand that nobody really loves a "winner" just because they won something. When people love winners, it's because they saw those people as underdogs who had to work hard, improve themselves, and strive for what they accomplished, and that's not Trump supporters, who just behave badly and dodge consequences and self improvement. Just getting their way in things and trying to prove that they're the majority doesn't mean that anybody's ever going to admire them. If Trump supporters think they're going to be loved for what they've done, they're wrong.
