Of course, which is exactly why the above is the only thing that would matter. I’m not simping for anyone, literally every other policy and promise and bullshit spawn of both candidates is completely worthless or just flat out awful. I’ve said as such an endless number of times. Which I would be why this is the ONLY item in the entire list that has any direct and measurable effect whatsoever. All the rest is the same game it’s always been.

Politicians make promises to get elected. They don't make promises to keep them. The only political capital to be gained by actually freeing Ross is among you and I, a tiny group of liberty-focused people. But actually freeing him opens DJT up to a massive attack by law and order oriented demographics which is orders of magnitude larger than ours. So it requires a principals-oriented candidate to actually do what you're talking about, which DJT is absolutely not.

You're ignoring the part where Trump says he would make himself dictator. I'm not willing to risk that just for the sake of one man. That's a strange type of logic for me. Better to put pressure on Harris and embarrass her. She needs people to like her. And honestly, the only people who see Trump and Harris as the same are people who've already figured out that they won't be affected by either of their policies. So it's okay for them to focus on a single issue.

You cannot seriously believe the whole "im gonna be a dictator" nonsense. Like seriously, I don't believe you fell for that, you MUST be smarter than that. He was literally being sarcastic about how the MSM has done nothing but call his Hitler and a dictator for 8 years. In other words, he was literally picking on how retarded and dishonest the MSM is... which was hilariously confirmed by the fact that the left repeats his joke every single day. It's like an idiot badge for the news. Trump is a moron but it makes us look even dumber when we believe the utter bullshit that comes out of literal campaign ads.

I dont' believe it, I simply think its more likely than 0%, which every other path and option is obviously 0%. I at least hope you admit (if only to yourself) that the dictator thing is total bullshit and also exactly why he has such great support. Because the media lies so heavily that it makes people defend him (something that even i have to do because the left is so insane). ------- Sure we can agree to disagree, but i don't know what we are disagreeing on unless it's that you don't care about Ross, as it's literally the single issue I posted about with the explicit exclusion of all other issues.
