We have become a nation of bullies...bullies and victims. And I’m sorry to say that the bullies are winning.

A bully, according to Google, is “a person who habitually seeks to harm or intimidate those whom they perceive as vulnerable.”

Here are some examples:

Joe Biden, Andrew Cuomo, and Gavin Newsom and those under them are bullying anyone who doesn’t want to get the Covid jab. They want to use the full force of the government to crush anyone who doesn’t comply. Refuse the jab and you will lose your job and be banned from participating in society. (Of course it’s even worse in Austria and Australia).

The students at Arizona State University pitched multiple tantrums because Kyle Rittenhouse was signed up for one online only non-credit course. They demanded he be banned from the University—and Kyle and ASU capitulated. This is a good example of bullies pretending to be victims so they can get their way.

LeBron James—getting hecklers removed by security.

BLM: perhaps the ultimate example of bullying:

“If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it. All right? And I could be speaking figuratively. I could be speaking literally. It’s a matter of interpretation,” Hawk Newsome said during an interview Wednesday evening on “The Story” with Martha MacCallum.”

Then there’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Not only has Meghan been accused of bullying her staff, which despite her denials is under official investigation, but also Harry and Meghan have bullied and threatened The Queen and the Royal Family, with sit down tell all interviews, feeding information to biographers, and even writing tell all books themselves. It’s interesting to me because Harry and Meghan, who have little to no power in the UK, are using media platforms to bully their family members, who cannot or choose not to respond.

Most troubling to me is that all of these bullies seem to be getting away with the intimidation, threats, tantrums and abuse. These are just a few examples, but it’s a definite pattern. Heck, the Democrats in Congress and the whole US Media bullied President Trump for 4 years. One of the biggest lies was that Trump was abusive through Twitter. Trump just gave back to the bullies what they gave to him first and of course, they didn’t like that very much. Bullies never do.

Did this arise from the “zero tolerance” policies in schools? Did we all just lose our cajones with the rise of social media? Why are we letting the bullies get away with it? What happened to live and let live?

LOL. You're so brainwashed. You'll get it someday. When it's too late, of course. When the authoritarianism you've been demanding for five years stomps on your own neck, and only then, you'll get it. Right up to the moment that they line you up against the wall, you'll be believing their lies.

You’re part of the problem. For four years Trump and his family was bullied by the media, the democrats and anyone else that stepped up. Then you cry about Trump being a bully?? Seriously unbelievable.

Yeah, “take the vaccine or be fired”, oh wait, that was Biden…. Calling a woman voter a”dog faced pony soldier “, Biden again, mocking a heavy voter by challenging him to a push up contest to mock him, Biden again, plus sniffing little girls hair and making the. Uncomfortable, Biden again. Biden may not tweet but he’s definitely the ultimate bully

It’s unfortunate sometimes that we can’t downvote comments like on other platforms.

Trump himself was bullied by everyone. All he did was stand up for himself, which of course is unacceptable to a bully.

Do you have any comments on anything else I wrote or did you just want to indulge your TDS?

Or just next time post at the top that you’re only interest is partisan bickering and people know to skip it.

No one is forcing you to comment on this thread and this thread is not just about Trump.

And yet you want to have a legitimate conversation about bullying but pretend trump doesn’t belong on the list?

Trumps the high school bully who never grew up and has just always been one.
