Yesterday Jay posted Lincoln's Gettysburg address, today we are treated to trumps insane and profane comments on truth social (really, truth?). The differences explains, expands and explodes literally everything you have written Steve.
Sometimes you “find a trout in the milk”, as Henry David Thoreau wrote. Circumstantial evidence can be overwhelming. As in 20 books, half written by former Trump administration top officials who all saw the trout.
Your last paragraph implies that Trump's post is sufficient evidence of his desire to destroy American freedoms negating the sacrifices made by valiant veterans who gave their all. That, to me, seems like an extreme view.
For sure, circumstantial evidence can reinforce existing bias - except in the case of Joe Biden. I do not have any scholarly quotes or parables to respond to you and Thoreau. Instead, I will paraphrase Bill Barr, a member of the Trump administration who is very critical of his former boss. Electing Trump is Russian roulette. Electing Biden is suicide.
My bias has been built up over a long period of time seeing the circumstantial, and factual, evidence, which is in abundance. I do not say Trump has a "desire to destroy American freedoms"--his ENDS--but his methods, his MEANS, accomplish exactly that. The ends can never justify the means, and Trump has made it clear he draws no lines regarding what he's willing to do to achieve his ends. Even if those ends seem to be good.
Are you sure the ends can never justify the means? If Trump is as evil as you think he is, how far do you think some like-minded people would go to destroy the man? Would that include lies, distortions, lawfare or even violence? I trust you would not, but right-wing nuts aren't the only crazies out there.
obummer was horrible....I call him a mamzar king now. the socialist jerk. as well, if not for obummercare, the building blocks for the ronacon would not have been there. people love pharma and "free" healthcare. Rev 18:23

How the hell did we get here?
It’s been a long and winding road.
I fail to find a factual connection between your last paragraph and Trump's post. Just more assumptions.
