Trump in 2016:

She shouldn't be allowed to run.
If she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis.
In that situation we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial.
It would grind the government to a halt.

The only way the lib left could make the reactionary right reject Trump is by reacting to him like sane people, which y'all are incapable of

So what's the sane way to react to him directly contradicting himself and lying about things we have video evidence of?

Clearly, it's too call everyone who is voting for him a fascist, declare that democracy has fallen, and throw a temper tantrum in the middle of the street. Honestly, there's probably nothing that can be done at this point. After 8 years of histrionics over Trump -- four of which he wasn't even in office -- it would be almost impossible to change the right's perception of the left as arrogant, elitist, hypocritical crybullies.

So to be clear: You come here telling the "lib left" they need to behave more rationally, and when asked what that would look like you respond with sarcasm, insults, and don't actually answer the question.

I don't think you're exactly role modeling "reacting like a sane person" here.

The question was glib nonsense. It's not about how one reacts to any individual thing Trump does, especially not when that thing is itself a reaction to the larger context of the liberal/left reaction to Trump's mere existence.

So your original statement was glib nonsense then?

I took your original post at face value, asked an honest follow up of "what would that look like?" And you got offended by that.

You just came here to be a reactionary.
