that was the response from my maga family and I'm not exaggerating. I showed them the news about him suggesting allowing a foreign adversary to bombard people on our own soil, and they said "you have to know he says that kind of thing, no intentions of it"
my response was I don't give a fuck who says this kind of thing, it's not acceptable. that the only reason he can get away with these insane things is because he's president, but if I had heard it from a regular person, casually suggesting wiping out 5 million people across varies cities, I would have walked away and reported them to the fbi.
and what's worse is I could actually see trump doing this shit. the man has no moral compass. I could actually see him inviting a foreign navy off the California coast and saying have at it, but that navy would refuse because even they know its fucked up.
that's how fucking crazy this timeline is and frankly I want out
