Donald Trump gave a rambling two-hour speech at a right-wing conference where he branded the U.S. a "third-world hellhole" under President Biden's leadership. He falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged and investigations against him are an attempt to rig the 2024 election. He threatened to revoke funding from universities and pledged to revive the Muslim ban, mass deportations, and ending birthright citizenship. Several speakers at the conference made inflammatory claims about transgender people, calling transition healthcare "Mengele-like experimentation" and referring to trans people as "freaks" and "perverts.

Pretty sure the best thing we can do w/ third-world assholes like him is ignore him. Don't talk about it, don't repost, don't engage w/ his supporters - just shutdown the conversation when his name is mentioned. Only reason he has a following is because of his supporters loving to get re-actions from people.

Don't give it to them.

Same thing online. Block and move on. Dont engage with the shit stirrers, leave them shouting into the void.
