You’ve admitted that “supporting” Donald Trump was a mistake. Presumably, all the time and energy you wasted defending him here for the past few years was, thus, also in error.
So why are you still trying to act like Donald Trump never lied?
And you want to be treated like a “redemption story?!"
Amazing how you want us to believe you’ve “reformed,” and yet here you are on January 24th, 2021, still defending Donald Trump with far more zeal than you’ve yet mustered over this:
Instead of acting as a safeguard, SCOTUS rubber-stamped the administration’s killings, sidestepping issues fundamental to the legality of the death penalty.

Should we accept “both sides” of the slavery issue for the sake of “balance?”
Is NikeTalk an “echo chamber” unless we legitimize Holocaust-denial?
Or is it okay if we recognize that one side of these particular “debates” is innately illegitimate and incompatible with the values central to our community?
Let’s acknowledge the false equivalence inherent in prioritizing one person’s “right” to dispute someone’s fundamental personhood over the rights of the group whose humanity is thus called into question.
Over the summer, I summarized NikeTalk's approach thusly:
That's basically what this comes down to: a request to establish parity between one group's right to safety with the privilege of an individual to spout hate speech or "playfully" challenge another group's humanity for the sake of alleviating boredom.
I’m not okay with adding a dollop of racism to any discussion here.
This was a driving reason for the creation of NikeTalk. We were fed up with the near constant harassment by White Supremacists on unmoderated sneaker message boards.
As NikeTalk has no ambition to monopolize online expression, we have every right to constrain members' speech to foster a safe and respectful community environment. We've chosen not to prioritize ideological diversity
to the exclusion of demographic diversity.
There are still plenty of unmoderated and poorly moderated social media platforms to choose from for those who feel unfairly restricted by NikeTalk's prohibition of hate speech.
If you think that anti-racist policies are inherently anti-conservative, that is a far more damning statement about conservativism than it is about anti-racism.
