I've usually been pretty open minded about your posts, giving the benefit of the doubt that it's all just for perspective and not your own political astroturfing, but this one is straight up, grade-A bullshit. He literally did say that. There are video clips of him saying it because he fucking said it during a public event that was being filmed.
For fuck's sake.
Poster is straight up defending Trump now. Mask off, I guess. No more pretending to post Jill Stein because he “found it interesting.”
Yeah, it's a bit disappointing and super lame. Used to be just a shit ton of random news, then a bit right leaning, now fully pro-Trump posts only.
Oh well, Boost to the rescue again with user tags. "Trump Schill"? "Would happily gag on Trump's mushroom"? I wonder what the character limit is
Do you think it's better to block someone or add a note to them so you can still engage with their content? I've gotten into the habit of blocking people and I'm not sold on it being the best approach.
I block outright racists and obvious low effort idiots, but for the most part I tag people so I can see how often they post, or if it's consistently in one direction or pushing an agenda. Right wing keyboard warriors of various stripes are the most common, but it's handy to tag people on the far left, or really anyone too rigidly one-dimension.
Kinda like checking your sources for news and quotes I guess? If I know someone's trying to manipulate me, I can form a more complete opinion and understanding.

None of this takes into account time reading others' posts/comments, or alts this user may secretly have.
lemmy.ml banned this user yesterday for being a troll. Isn't it about time that lemmy.world did also? For Christ's sake, there is an election going on, and it's been beyond clear for two months that this user intends to sway it, and fully opposite anything resembling a leftist goal.
Agreed, it's absurd that such an obvious bot or shared account has gotten a free pass this long. If there's a legitimate desire for discussion on these articles, someone else can easily post them, but this account in particular reeks of pushing a narrative in spite of the community's desire for sincere discussion.
The mods are really pussyfooting around this guy. Just fucking ban him already.
If the script I wrote to expose this troll/sealion doesn't change any minds, literally nothing will.
Beautiful 😍
It's heartening to get positive feedback like this, I appreciate it. I've been calling this guy out for a while and it disgusts me how often people defend them.
You're doing a good job, keep it up!
There seems to be a new one who just showed up as well: @Dot@feddit.org
Amateur numbers though ;)

Yes he did:
"We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics... And it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or really necessary by the military, because they can't let that happen," he said.

Dude looked at the Nixon admin's response to political opposition and said "yeah that's a good way to go!" 🤦♂️
"We need to use the military on the enemy within if necessary"
"Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi are examples of enemies from within"
Seems pretty clear.
He wants to use the military against "left leaning lunatics". Well if he refers to everyone on the left as a lunatic, then that's everyone who disagrees with him. He sometimes defines the "lunatics" as the communist and Marxist in the party. But we already had McCarthyism once, what about second McCarthyism? Is anyone who votes left just a secret communist in disguise?
Straight out of the fascist playbook; invent a boogyman that most reasonable people would dislike, promote violence and discrimination against this boogyman, then color all your opponents as boogymen.
Posting more pro Trump garbage. Tell us again how you didn't vote for Trump.
I’m so tired of the media sanewashing this violent, demented lunatic.
The fake crises he invents all sound like cheesy horror movies:
"convicted illegal alien murderers on the loose"
"cannibal zombie vampires from outer space"
"Millions and millions are pouring into our country each day!"
It's true. I now have 8 Mexicans living underneath my floorboards, since millions have been pouring in every day since he started saying this there's not much place else for them to go. According to my calculations and this graph that I drew on with a sharpie, if this trend continues and Harris wins in November, by 2028 there will be more Guatemalans in Arizona than molecules of water in the ocean. I rest my case.
Bartiromo asked Trump whether he was "expecting chaos on Election Day" if "you win." "Trump suggests he'll use the military on 'the enemy from within' the U.S. if he's reelected," said the PBS headline over an Associated Press story. That one does not even superficially make sense, since Trump would not yet be president in Bartiromo's scenario.
So this guy says "I'm going to order the military to attack American citizens if I'm reelected" and Reason is out here saying that headlines expressing concern about using the military for political revenge are fake news because this interviewer asked what he'd do on Election Day? He literally said that he would send the military after "the enemy within" in response to her question. Reason out here lying about the context of his answer because the senile old fascist can't wait until inauguration to get his hands on the military. Probably would be good for the MBFC to re-evaluate Reason's factuality rating.
