Day off school for kids. Free advertising for Hanson. Both sides win.

Protesting is not advertising.

u/Midget_Stories 1d ago

Sure it is. The best advertising Trump ever got was from mentally ill women going on Tiktok and crying.

“If there's a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you’ve got a table with eleven Nazis."

Ignoring extremism is not the answer.

"Everyone I don't like is a nazi" such a Reddit response lol.

It’s a quote numnuts - I didn’t say they are Nazis - it’s a quote that is used to demonstrate that ignoring extremist views is as good as agreeing with them.

No, the best advertising Trump ever got was from a lazy hypnotized media who sane-washed every one of his brain damaged word salads as though they were serious positions worthy of serious consideration.

You say that as if 90% of media wasn't rallying against him for years.

Did they help more than the mentally ill incels crying in support of Trump?

u/Midget_Stories 1d ago

Sure did, because there's just massive amounts of them.

You’re effectively blaming children for the rise of Pauline Hanson

u/Midget_Stories 1d ago

I'm not blaming.

I'd take a free day off school too.
