I don’t expect to change any minds. It doesn’t matter if I do here. On the US sites maybe. What it does is inform. Primarily myself. Your Trump obsession has gone international it seems. I honestly don't think you will survive a trump victory this year. You should start taking steps now to avoid a stroke. Maybe for starters take down all the trump mugshot posters in your home and phone and computer wallpapers of him.

What you mean is bias confirmation. The good people of the USA will make their opinions known at the election. To be fair the poster is extremely insignificant
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

Will the USA and the cohesion of the free world? That’s less certain.

No I didn’t but I can understand why and respect her for such an honest response. It’s hardly though a media meltdown is it? It’s one presenter showing emotions on air. The BBC report as truthfully as they can what they see happening. That your perception might be different doesn’t mean it’s right or theirs is wrong. It’s my belief that the general reaction to Trump’s victory in 2016 and all he has done subsequently, both in the UK and in the rest of the free world, is much more in line with mine than with anyone who believes in him. The BBC reporting that accurately is what they do. You seeing bias where none exists is what you do. It's me seeing bias where none exists? - I like that. Thanks.

I see a hard working, respectful person with 2 college educated children (fully paid for - no debt forgiveness needed). This is mirrored by my middle class friends. The power of the media is so influential at casting stereotypes with a racist white man carrying a gun etc being the threat to democracy. November will be fascinating and must see TV.

It’s not so difficult to recognise right from wrong. When a natural constituency contains all the right wing racists, white power advocates, misogynists, rednecks and generally ignorant deplorables of the country, then you know that they aren’t representing the good.

No generalisations there then.

November will be fascinating and must see TV. I don’t doubt that for a moment. Trump needs people like you alongside his base of deplorables to win. So the interesting question is are you voting for something, Trump, or against something, Biden? I can understand why choosing an 81 year old does not appeal, which is why I remain convinced that, in the end, he won’t. I asked you a while back who your preferred Democratic candidate would be and if they stood would you switch. I don’t think you answered. I hope you will now.
