Using hate and divisive talk to desperately stay out of jail.

[refusedone]

It’s FASCIST PROPAGANDA, not “misinformation “

[kin-of-orakio]

Trump and his followers have set this country back 100 years, at least.

[naruhitoenciso]

Get real, America. He is running from going to jail, not for POTUS.

[leokolev]

I'm a republican, but can't vote for this stupid thing... Really can't...

[scottamu]

Recently went on a trip to NYC, Philly, and DC. Clean, safe and normal people all around living life. The disinformation and fear-mongering is absolutely uncalled for and probably criminal at this point

[AEnema-]

The guy is sick and those who are supporting him are even worse.

Longing for Trumps expiration date. Vote blue down ballot for democracy in America.

[adambeck]

He always has been about pitting Americans against each other. And about lying constantly.

[karen-kkev]

Thankyou for using the correct term - disinformation- not misinformation

[abiolaolowu]

Not an American, didn't grow up nor ever lived in America but the history and principles of America have been a moral compass not just to me but the world in this modern era...a beacon of hope and possibility of what unity in diversity can achieve...so heart breaking to see that even the best among us can fall this low...I still have Hope that the Good in America can overwhelm the ugly & the bad this November...In GOD I Trust to wake up on November 6th to madam President! GOD Bless America!

[tammybrockman]

It is all about undermining trust. Trust in government. Trust in experts. Trust in the media. Trust in each other.
There’s only serves one purpose, and that is to divide society and destroy the country.

"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced ... but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist." --Hannah Arendt, "The Origins of Totalitarianism" (1951)

Trump's right about the law enforcement. Because he should have been in prison a long time ago.

[stuvo]

I just voted today. Harris Walz all the way!

[FlamingSwordOfWisdom]

I am not scum. I’m a good person. I told my Trump supporting family members this weekend ~ I’m done. ~ this is terrifying. My mother is very upset with me, but I will not cuddle racist bigot fascist.

[tyisamess]

Let me correct you. Donald Trump is changing how dumb Americans perceive reality.

[bigharm]

Why is what Trump is doing not illegal? To me, it's screaming fire in a crowded theater!

[smilesandyoka]

Occupied by criminals --- HE IS THE CRIMINAL - is he talking about himself?
