This is the first time we've had an occupant in the White House that resembled that "prince." And even the Trump supporters recognized the resemblance, which is what got them all upset. And the fact that all those oh-so-patriotic cultists have obviously never read the document in their lives.
He doesn't resemble a prince at all. He was elected. The fact your side has sour grapes over it doesn't make Trump a prince.
The blame lies with ignorant knee jerk cons, no one else. Period.
If you can't follow what I'm saying quit responding. I'm saying that there is no individual blame here. It's that NPR were merely quoting from the DOI with no ill intention but that it was interpreted by some as ill intended because of the toxic news cycle. You guys get your kicks by saying that cons don't know their original founding documents when that could've been the case here OR that people assumed and assumed wrongly that NPR was using the DOI to insinuate that Trump was a tyrant and there needs to be a true revolt.
See how easy that is? And yes as a liberal you are fragile. Good choice in a handle

Yes why are the Liberals insisting that deep down we know that Trump is a "prince" when that wasn't the outrage. The outrage whether legit or not, was that the twitter users assumed that NPR was insinuating Trump is a prince that needs to be resisted. Even if they assumed wrongly it was mostly due to the constant negative coverage by the media insisting Trump is a tyrant that needs to be resisted. People assumed it was more of the same.
Instead liberals turned this around and are getting their kicks saying cons don't know their founding documents. I think they're missing the big picture and ignoring the toxic partisanship, by creating more partisanship with this story.
Everybody understands NPR is a leftwing outfit and those tweets were anti-Trump. Liberals call Trump a tyrant every day.
To your first point, I'll just post this response from earlier in the thread:

You're not gonna hear talking head screaming matches or opinion-based rants there. Generally, their content is a literal rehash of the events (who, what, when, where) and some information on what those events mean. They don't tell you what to think, nor do they proselytize.
I usually assume people making this claim don't actually listen to NPR. Or their perspective on reality must be completely off. And if you're aligned with someone who lies as often as Trump (truly embarrassing), well... then I guess everything is "partisan" to you because your reality simply doesn't match everyone else's.
Put another way, if it seems like "everyone is against Trump"...maybe you should step back and consider "why" that is.
Perhaps Trump is usually not on the correct side of truth... Perhaps NPR (and other media) are just correcting these blatant falsehoods (which is what they're supposed to do, btw!)...Perhaps a lying narcististic petulent child will get "support" when he starts acting his age, professionally, and like a President.
Perhaps...
Then again, if you're still holding this perspective in regards to Trump and NPR after this much time, I doubt you'll be swayed by any of the above.
To your second point: the fact that some people jumped to the conclusion that NPR was doing something purposeful or with an agenda says more about them than it does about NPR (which was just doing something they have been doing for ~3 decades on July 4th). It's rather revealing, though, that you find a simple cut and paste of the DOI to be anti-Trump...
No, but with his childish behavior, he is a first-class a-hole!
First class ahole Trump /= prince, yet that's what these people thought was what NPR was insinuating. They probably weren't but these people reacted because they thought it was a continuation of the constant barrage on the democratically elected president as being a tyrant. That's what this all is about.

Liberals don't get to interpret things for conservatives. You don't get to control the debate.
Nobody is jumping to conclusions. NPR is a leftwing outfit that is subsidized by taxpayer money and they hate GOP because it has called for defunding it. You are a liberal partisan so the idea that we must defer to you on this doesn't make any sense.
There is no way for anybody to know for sure why they are tweeting this out but it isn't difficult to believe a leftwing outfit wants to suggest Trump is a tyrant, because leftwingers are saying exactly that all the time.
