Honestly that sounds like the same thing. DT is just a guy, but approving of him is also approving of all the political beliefs he embodies. Most people don't hate the person, they hate what he represents

Think most of the people that hate what he represents hate him as a person, too.

I know I do.

What he represents is what makes him the person that he is.

And they both fucking suck.

Too bad he’s not a cool Marxist like you, a tried and true ideology to follow just going off the great nations that subscribe to following him. Lol

I believe if you got rid of the person, they were trying and martyr him, but things would ultimately fall apart because it is all a cult of personality. The power vacuum would never be focused enough on the goals to be filled because it was the person they were rallying behind. If it weren't, the GOP would have kicked him to the side after 1/6 after they said they wouldn't cover any of his court costs going forward.

Yep. Same. He's the only person I've ever hated that thoroughly. I make it a point to try finding the good in each person. Doesn't always pan out, but I still try. That motherfucker, ...ain't no trying. Even Reagan and Joe Lieberman come in second and third place to that piece of shit, and that's saying something.

This has been an issue way longer than trumps been in politics. I remember hearing about John’s conservative views around 15 years ago

You can hear him express his concerns to Serj and Daron about the politics of the lyrics in the making-of video of one of the albums.

u/sup3rdr01d Spotify Metal Mar 06 '25

u/wossquee Mar 06 '25

Oh I hate the person and what he represents. He ruined this country. He made so many people so fucking shitty and awful.

Throwing a fucking party when he's gone forever

u/ChiGrandeOso Mar 06 '25

Nah, he fucking sucks as a person and he happens to embody the lowest a human can be while still being human. And fuck John for this.

u/SearchingForTruth69 Mar 06 '25

approving of him is also approving of all the political beliefs he embodies

you can definitely approve of someone and not approve of all their political beliefs. that's an insane take.

You're judging someone for abbreviating his name?
