Swanny? Bit harsh!
S'alright mate. Things get lost in translation. I've spent enough time with Americans to know that for example, it is perfectly possible to be in favour of things that are incompatible with one British perspective and others that are aligned, and still be decent people. The handgun issue for example. I will argue against them till I'm blue in the face with respect to the UK having them, but frankly in America the history means it's a tough ask to remove a fundamental right that arguably allowed the nation to come into existence, literally with a bang. It's when the conversation becomes transatlantic that rancour arises.
The Biden thing.....my feeling is that just like Joe Johnson refused to condemn his brother's actions, its hard for a father to condemn their son. Indeed we tend to support our kids even if they are dick heads. That isn't enough to smear Biden for me.
Now, Biden strikes me as the sort of old school Irish Democrat (correct me if I'm wrong) who has spent his whole life turning a blind eye to fundraising for the IRA. I spent a long time getting angry about That Sort of Thing. But these days, well...I don't think he's been involved in the campaign to kill and maim the English for decades. And as president he has surprised me (in a good way).
All that aside, Trump is clearly a very bad man and continues to be so. It is an active choice.
However it is pointless getting into a shit slinging contest with someone with American views. I don't do it in real life. So here's the plan. If I see you defending Trump and comparing him favourable to Biden again, I'll put you on ignore to save the time getting pointlessly cross and risking being egregiously rude to you again. OK?
