    I think this is just totally inappropriate to put on any kid.

    He’s a kid. You are kind-of being a piece of shit for what you are doing right now.

      People that didn’t grow up in environments where you’re surrounded by shitty, bigoted opinions don’t understand just how fucking hard it is and how long it takes to deprogram yourself from that shit. Took me longer than 18.

      Once he starts personally getting on stage and being a bigoted shitbag, I’m more than fine with putting him on blast. Til then, I’m willing to give the kid at least some of the benefit of the doubt.

        Exactly. Shitbirds of a shitfeather flock together.

        But until he does so…

        If the world boxes him in (and I guarantee the kid feels boxed in), they’re force him to become the piece of shit the world expects him to be…

        Like, I dont envy this kid one bit, but if you don’t allow him an escape hatch…

          I really, really don’t like this growing trend of refusing to believe that people can change. I was caught on the young, dumb teenage libertarian > far right pipeline fucking hard. If I hadn’t had friends that recognized that and (figuratively) knocked some sense into me, I’m not entirely certain I would’ve changed.

          Edit: apparently hit send mid thought, fixed that

      He was a kid when his dad was running for office the first time, 2 years shy of a decade ago. He’s an adult now. A legal adult stepping in to politics by acting as a delegate, to cast a nomination vote for his insurrectionist, traitor, Putin’s ballsack gargling father is putting something on a kid? In that context, assuming that he’s materially different than literally anyone else in his immediate family is inappropriate? The pieces of shit here all have the surname “Trump”.

      Apparently Melania said he’s not doing it, I wasn’t aware. So if Barton’s reading this, sorry bro I’m sure you’re a totally chill guy. You’re also shooting a pretty suss look at your dad’s hand there. If you’re getting beat by that fucker you should give Bob Woodward a call or some shit.
