Well, it's what I believe. If we can't ever come to a reckoning with that as a race, then we're never going to have harmony and understanding.

You're hearing voices? I'd suggest to not listen to them.
I was going to say that for the most part he didn't keep alot of campaign promises. The Wall, locking up Hillary, to name a couple.
I got nothing to say here.

Because I like to try overcoming my own flawed biology and being open-minded as a human being. :lol:

An open mind is like a fortress, with it's gates unbarred and unguarded. There are lies. There is deciet and deception and there's straight false assumptions due to limited perception. There is no "truth in everything", other than that you should look at everything twice and take nothing for granted.

So what you’re saying is that an open mind is Wikipedia pretty much.

I think Reddit might be a closer analogy.

I think it can be said there is truth behind lies, but lies are not facts. When someone claims "Trump kept all his promises" the truth is "I believe Trump isn't a normal politician who lies." When Russia doctors their COVID-19 death statistics, the truth is "The Russian government is afraid their failures will breed more dissent."

By this point we should be beyond hear-says when evaluating a former president’s performance.

He sure kept his word about trying to build a wall, but I have no interest in that proposal despite how stupid it is to start something like that when we have 4-year term limits and a revolving party door for the Oval Office.

Otherwise all he’s ever done is remark praise for his job.

Trump is actually one of the most peaceful presidents since WW2. I would consider that an achievement as I am a peace loving man. Only Carter and Ford rank alongside him. Don't take my word for it, here's Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact ... SKBN2A22SN

Isn't it funny what you discover when you actually go searching for facts over feelings?
