    I see question marks, not statements about you. Do you need a Wikipedia link that explains question marks?

      Yes. You did use a question mark here.

      Is Trump a fascist to you, and if so why did you help him get elected?

      That is what is known as one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question

      Because you are, within that loaded question, accusing me of helping Trump get elected. Which is a lie.

      So I guess this would be lie #3.

        If you’re not American, and played no role in inorganically trying to elevate Democrats by attacking others for pointing out or diminishing Kamala’s alignment with the neocons, genocidal support and pro-establishment messaging, then I’m sorry. My intention isn’t to lie about anyone and would be no better than what I want to fight against.

          So just being American means I got Trump elected? Really? I got Trump elected by being born somewhere I didn’t choose to be born?

          Are you American? Does that mean you got Trump elected?

            I didn’t say that just being American means you got Trump elected. I have been very clear what type of actions helped Trump getting elected, and have apologized if I misjudged some characterization of who you are. There is nothing else for me to say here. I wish you the best.
