Their comment specified “For Trump”

That implies that they are doing the same thing, but for Biden. Obviously.

No it doesn't. They could be implying it was a Trump specific policy.

"they did this specifically for Trump, they probably don't do it anymore"

Vs

"They probably don't specifically do it for Trump anymore"

Without knowing them or making assumptions I can't fill in which interpretation they went with, hence why I said "I hope you're being sarcastic", implying I hope they were more in line with the 2nd interpretation.

You won’t see what I chose not to say here. I don’t often have random vitriol for internet strangers, but goddamn.

If this is what broke you down, I really don't believe that lol.

Okay.

I gotta admit. I don’t care.

And shit - do you see what they’re doing to the campus protestors? They are all fucking bad and we live in a police state.

But you’re throwing stones because someone didn’t contort their comment to equivocate Trump to Biden, who wasn’t a topic of conversation?

Obviously you do. Way too much. lol

Yes, hence why I made sure it was known that this is a policy that started before Trump and continues after him.

But you’re throwing stones because someone didn’t contort their comment to equivocate Trump to Biden, who wasn’t a topic of conversation?

Who did I throw stones at and when did I ever say ask them to "contort their comment to equivocate Trump to Biden"?

Am I not allowed to even mention Bidens name without triggering the *MkUltra Lib Sleeper Cell?

Tell me, specifically, which part you had such a problem with?

I hope you're being sarcastic..

(recognition that they may be joking)

If you really think this started with Trump and stopped with Trump, that's what they want.

(If they believe it to be Trump specific, they are wrong, but that's not entirely their fault because the point of these sorts of admissions in the article is to place blame on an individual and avoid examination of the system as a whole)

This is simply a continuation of Cointelpro and we saw the same tactics used against college campus protests under Biden.

(As you said, we live in a police state. I state a past example [Cointelpro]then follow it with a modern example [Campus Protests], as I said above, is the mere mention of Bidens name too much for y'all to bear?)

Edit:*MkUltra

Edit2: literally from the first comment you replied to of mine. (Which was in response to them being upset about my first reply, stated above)

Cointelpro and government crackdown on any opposition to the right wing liberal order goes well beyond Biden, it just continued under him. You're showing your absolutely unserious and reactionary team sport mentality.
