~~I am not a Trump supporter. However, the town hall meeting had a medical emergency, which threw the whole groove off. From all the evidence I've seen, I'll give Trump props for seeing it and calling for a doctor on stage. That was the most human thing I ever saw him do (and to be clear there are other examples of this. Not many, but they exist)~~
~~But anyway, I digress...~~
~~I suspect the 30 minutes of music was a distraction to the medical emergency and also was supposed to present him as 'fun'. I think after the emergency they just had to fill time and the whole situation just got fucked. IMO, Trump isn't to blame for that weird shit~~
Edit: I did not watch the entire town hall and have since watched it. The whole thing is an absolute shit show. I fell for the propagated clips to improve his image, but I've since learned that what I originally learned is wrong
That's a highly misleading characterization
They only briefly paused after people fainted and then continued and changed the format to a Q&A with a speaker. Only a few questions into the Q&A he said "who wants to listen to questions" and "let's listen to music". He wrapped up making it sound like he was done, but then just stood there for 39 minutes nodding to music
The whole town hall is online, you can watch it yourself. Here’s how he spends the last 40 or so minutes https://youtu.be/bDZgox580B0?t=7447
Edit: also he showed zero respect for the people that fainted. He was insulting their weight and asked if "anyone else wants to faint too"
Alright. Might have misspoke. I saw clips which I obviously fell for the propaganda
There were some misleading initial reports about it, to be fair
Yeah. I could have better researched better before I commented. Also I greatly appreciate you being polite.
I also deleted the comment
Restore it and add an edit note that you fell for the propaganda so others can learn from you too. Strike out the text if you want to be extra clear.
Own your mistakes and help everyone!
Good idea. I don't know how to strike out sentences, so if you could help me with that? I'll work on restoring the comment
Edit: I actually don't know how to restore the comment
For future striking out sentences use ~~ around the text ~~like this~~ to make it look ~~like this~~
Not sure if there's a way to restore comments
Sweet. Thanks
I like you and the humility you’ve displayed here. Thanks for being a reasonable person.
The world is being restored one conversation at a time. You're both upstanding internet anons.
If you are using an app I have no idea, but on a browser the three dots underneath switches between Delete and Undelete. The text editor options has one to ~~strike through~~ whatever text you have already highlighted. If the strike through shows squiggles you might need to remove some spaces as they have to be right against the first and last words to work right.
Done
I applaud you taking one for the team!
I had to do it paragraph-by-paragraph. It is working now
Sadly this is how it works. Now imagine you're one of the millions of people who absolutely wouldn't care to dive deeper into this and just argue from the rooftops that he's a brilliant person.
Respect for admitting you got conned the first time. All of us are vulnerable to propaganda, especially people who think they're not.
Haha. Is that supposed to offend me? I don't even know what you're trying to go for here?
Just a good ol' MAGA check.
Trying to prod you into being defensive or being a troll because you were repeating MAGA talking points.
But you weren't and you aren't.
Hope it was funnier than it was troubling. Have a good rest of your day.
I'd suggest you don't prod. What you're ultimately doing is bullying and I'm sure you don't like it when someone does that to you
Prodding is the best way to find an abscess
Then you're just a prick
Lol
Like you?
Pretty late to the party aren't you
I mean it's better to be late than whatever you are.
What I am is correct. You're responding to a 2 month old comment. That's universally accepted as late.
Yeah, I was trolling through the modlogs for fun.
It's not like there is a time limit for responses on this site.
So abcess, this isn't about who is correct. Youbwere an ass and can't seem to take any of what you dish.
You're going to be fun....
Fun? I'll just block you. What a power tripping wingnut you are.
Power tripping? I don't think you understand the meaning.
