Guilty pleasure: I go on X to find people who still insist Trump faked assassination
Posted by Ag Zwin on 1/15/25 at 3:13 pm
I have railed about X and its propensity to stoke conflict for the sake of clicks.

No Gulf of Tonkin.
No Great Society (a likely much less problematic approach in its place).
No LBJ library and school churning out degrees for a Masters in Social Justice. ...

Never had it until lived here.
Now, I’m convinced it’s about the best fish I’ve ever had (and I have been to enough countries, especially Asia, to have tried a lot).
There are others with distinct properties, but for a flavorful white and flaky fish, I can’t think of...

Are you worried they will hurt his feelings?
What do you think is dangerous about this for Trump?
Or is this just one of those “I don’t like them so there’s no reason to engage them” things?...

It’s like it’s finally OK to not hate Trump after years and years of ridiculously hyperbolic shaming and fear mongering.
Anecdotal, but I do feel like I can more freely say I voted for him than in 2016 or 2020. Judge that if you want, but I live in a stupidly (and militantly) blue area and it wa...
