How so, neighbor?

You need to clean up the minefield that is your brain. Shall I link you to some of my posts about Trump? That would only be the start of all the reasons why no one who is reasonably informed could support him. You might be a smart guy but it's obvious you're very inexperienced. Calling Harvard antisemitic lunatics sounds like you're parroting Trump (an experienced writer would never use such cliches). For another, anyone who supports what has happened in Gaza has lost all semblance of humanity. Many people who are Jewish and Israelis do not support it or that madman, Netanyahu. You should go back and learn your history about the centuries-long problem of antisemitism. It's outrageously hypocritical for the Zionists to do to the Palestinians what was done to them during the Holocaust and for centuries in Europe. It's also brutal and barbaric -- have you been paying attention? Stop listening to Trump; he's the most dishonest politician in our nation's history, and when considering all the dishonest politicians that there have been, that's saying a lot. He's also morally depraved.

Correct me if I’m mistaken, but you seem to be implying that President Trump is a stupid, incompetent, infantile, delusional, corrupt, hateful, petulant, vulgar, treacherous, soulless fascist, and, indeed, a fecal stain on American history. I, on the other hand, have written no fewer than four songs in his honor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPrHJUowoyw

OMG, you live in England, home of the Magna Carta, whose centuries of legal precedent Trump is trying to wipe away. You should write a song about him paraphrasing CCR: "Down in the toilet, with President Trump" That's all I have to say to you so have a good day. OMG, I can't believe there are people who claim to be intelligent who exist like you.

And I, correspondingly, can't believe there are people so self-righteous as to fail to recognize, even after I provided both a song and an essay that make pretty clear that I loathe Trump, that my tongue is in cheek in the MAGA to the Max podcasts.
