OK, I should have said first used as a slur against those who were skeptical of the official narrative.
It's not about any conspiracy, it's about prejudice.

The context is about Trump's mental acuity instead of constantly bashing Biden.

It's not a slur. Grow some thicker skin. Winter is coming.
The purpose of the thread, so far as I can tell, is to discuss Trump's mental acuity. Not to pivot to "but what about this thing the Biden admin did???" That's called derailing.

It's a slur because if falsely assumes that an alleged conspiracy exists. It's also a strawman because malfeasance isn't necessarily carried out according to an explicit agreement.

You avoiding addressing the issue of context, i.e. Trump's mental acuity relative to Biden's.

The intention of the OP, as basherific as it is, was to discuss the acuity of Trump.

Avoiding the issue of context is a tacit admission that the context is relevant, specifically that Trump has a better grasp of the problem of human trafficking than Biden's administration.
It's possible for both of them to have issues with mental acuity. I know that's a wild concept perhaps. But this thread is about Trump's situation. There's lots of other threads that have been created to discuss Biden. You could even make one. At this point you're attempting to derail.

So the purpose of the thread it is bash Trump without considering the political context, right? Given the common elements of religion and politics, that is essentially the same a thread having the sole purpose of bashing a particular religion.

It doesn't have to be "bashing". We could attempt to have a serious discussion about Trump's mental acuity. Is that somehow off limits?

Naturally it's not off limits, but the OP context of "convicted felon Trump" suggests that the intent was simply to bash the Donald.
You can keep repeating the same thing over and over. It's not getting any truer.
We allow criticism of politicians around here. This is just as true of Biden or Trump.
But thank you for admitting that your devotion to Trump is basically religious at this point. Makes sense why you're straining so hard to distract from discussing his obvious mental problems.

The context of discussion of Donald Trump's intellectual acuity does not depend on Joe Biden's intellectual acuity. It depends on the overall perception of average intellectual acuity. Trump has wondered off into completely absurd gibberish a good number of times in his speeches. To the degree that most people would consider alarming. Especially for someone wanting to be the president of a national super-power. And besides that, he has shown everyone many, many, times, that he has NO IDEA how the mechanisms of the government of the United States actually function. Or even why it was intended to function as it does. He not only has no idea what the Constitution that he swore an oath to uphold says, or means, he really couldn't care less.
He is astonishingly intellectually unfit for the position he is seeking. And so are most of the politicians he has endorsed and helped to gain political positions that they have no business being in. Including even Supreme Court judges. No one that cares in the least for the continuation of the U.S. would want Donald Trump anywhere near the presidency. Which is why I have to conclude that those who are supporting him are deliberately seeking the destruction of the United States of America in the form that it has so far existed.

I'm not devoted to Trump, he has ego issues and is to some degree a tool of foreign interests despite his nationalist appeal. The real issue here is prejudice, which applies to the political realm as much as to religion.

It depends on it because of the political relationship between the two men.
Criticism of an individual politician is different from criticism of an entire group of people, based on religion or political affiliation or whatever else. We moderate bigoted comments about groups of people, and have done so specifically in reference to comments about conservatives and Trump voters.
That's all very different from what's happening here.

There is no political relationship between these men. The political relationship is between each of them, and the American people. WE will decide what intellectual acuity means in each man's case.

The issue of prejudice applies as much to groups as to their leaders. Criticism can be unfair if the context is ignored.
