    Love how this article is trying to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Fuck the media for trying to still normalize him and shame on you OP for posting this bs.

        Appeal to authority fallacy. Even good sources put out shit content, and it’s hilarious that the main defense of the argument is source not content.

        For good reason, the content is shit coming from a decent source.

    There isn’t even any substantial disagreement with what she’s saying in this very article. Instead, it MORE than disavows things that Trump has specifically said, or tacitly endorsed, like Project 2025. Why in the fuck would you write an article essentially saying “Well, these statements are based in reality and facts, but you can’t just say bad things without seeing it happen first.”

    YES, YOU FUCKING CAN. HE HAS SAID THESE THINGS.

    God damn, NPR. Never thought I’d be downvoting something coming from you.

      I bailed when they couldn’t bring themselves to call “enhanced interrogation” what it is in the early 2000s. Fuck that.

    1. “[W]e know and we know what a second Trump term would look like. It’s all laid out in Project 2025, written by his closest advisers. And its sum total is to pull our country back to the past.”

    ‘Trump has lied and said he doesn’t know anything about it, even though tons of people part of P2025 are close to trump’

    Straight into the bin you go NPR.

      They only care about sources that contribute to the echo chamber, all others are Russian propaganda, Russian bots, etc.

        Nah, even good sources put out trash articles. And in this case, this is a garbage dump article.

        Its a mealymouthed attempt at being CeNtRiSt and show that they hold BoTh SiDeS aCcOuNtAbLe. Problem is, they’re bringing up the lamest shit, leading to this bullshit garbage to be used to show how both trump and Harris both lie.

      Yeah. It sure is great watching Democrats turn against the most benign, inoffensive, and liberal-friendly news channel in the country because they attempted the most basic level of neutral journalistic rigor (and even had to explain in their article the concept of neutral journalistic rigor).

      Makes me super-optimistic for the future of democracy.

      I can’t wait for Democrats to accuse NPR of being Russian assets.
