Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.

@manhattanda.bsky.social prosecutors had to convince 12 strangers BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT Trump lied to hide payments to a porn star to win the election. They convicted him. Don’t ever forget that.
