Let it run...

Just as an observation, there were some criticisms of 'Trump related' topics in the General Discussion forum as being, shall we say, counter to the DU objectives. They saw it as promoting Trump and MAGA agenda and detracting from Democratic philosophy.

I wouldn't debate that opinion but personally feel it's important to remain cognizant of Trump/MAGA propaganda and its gross distortion of truth and reality. As Sun Tzu said, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles..."

Along that line of thought, I'd suggest modifying the Forum title to "Latest Trump & MAGA BS." Trump is the Master Bullsh!tter for certain but Musk, MTG, Jordan, Comer, X et al. greatly amplify the BS propaganda landscape.

I go to X every day and subject myself to the BS for as long a time as I can endure and refute/debunk a few MAGA/Trump lies. It's a near futile effort in the overall battle to preserve our democracy but it's one more voice against the Trump tyranny.
