Luigi Mangione has drawn lots of defenders on social media. That's a challenge for platforms when it comes to moderation — and for users.

Luigi shot a guy on fifth avenue instead of just talking about it?

Edit: And I'm getting downvoted... Bro I was agreeing with you, Why downvote me? Apparently I've ran into the classic blunder of sarcasm not being readable on the internet...

So let me clarify

Luigi and Trump have literally nothing in common outside of being Americans born into wealth, my "Luigi shot a guy" comment was not an endorsement of Trump, but a playful way of saying Luigi gets shit done instead of doing what Trump does and pretending to be America's champion when in reality being the perfect symbol of literally everything wrong with the country.

Trump being a lazy lying pedophile who was never kept his hands to himself nor had a coherent thought.

Are you genuinely so brainwashed you've bought into MAGA propaganda, thinking Trump is just "saying some offensive things"?

No man.

He's a literal rapist. In several cases.

This case, Carroll II, was tried in April and May 2023. Ms. Carroll contended that Mr. Trump had assaulted her in a dressing room at a New York department store where, among other things, he forcibly penetrated her vagina with his fingers and his penis. She testified in person for most of three days and was cross-examined intensively. Her sexual assault claim was corroborated by two “outcry” witnesses in whom Ms. Carroll had confided shortly after the attack, and was supported by six other fact witnesses. Mr. Trump's defense – based exclusively on an attempt to discredit Ms. Carroll and her other witnesses – in substance was that no assault ever had occurred, that he did not even know Ms. Carroll, and that her accusations were a “Hoax.” Mr. Trump, however, did not testify in person or even attend the trial despite ample opportunity to do so.

I'd know about you, but the dressing room of a department store isn't exactly private even if it's not "broad daylight" public.

So what non-self-serving political agenda does Trump's raping(s) serve in your opinion?

Are you genuinely so brainwashed you’ve bought into MAGA propaganda, thinking Trump is just “saying some offensive things”?

That's quite the conclusion you've jumped too considering I said nothing positive about Trump, do not see him as a legitimate president, and have more respect for Hitler than Trump as Hitler at least had the decency to put a bullet in his own head.
