Uh-huh, because the left-wing media are not hypocrites at all, and change their opinions based on who’s in the white house xD

Why do you assume that there's a need to accept hypocrisy from either wing? If you consider the 'left-wing' media hypocritical and denounce them for that reason, that's fine. But by that same standard, you should also denounce the right-wing media quoted here. No?

I agree, they’re all cunts in one way or another.

But given a choice between Kamala & Trump - for me Trump is the lesser of two evils by a LONG shot

Trump's evil is clear, as he prides himself with it. What would Kamala's evil have looked like, you think?

Much worse than this, just look at the past 4 years

That could be slightly more specific, I think. So for Trump we currently have at least the following evils:

1) Threatening and implementing far-reaching tariffs on allies, which lead to general insecurity in the market and also risk a larger economic downturn. 2) Introducing and rug pulling memecoins for himself, his family, and acquaintances. 3) Ignoring court orders and, as such, defying the rule of law and separation of powers. 4) Allowing people without proper vetting basically unlimited access to sensitive personal data of all US citizens. 5) Repeating threats to invade allies, such as Greenland, Panama, and Canada. 6) Praising dictators such as Putin for strong leadership. 7) Expressing a wish to have closer ties with Russia, which is well known historically to be the main geopolitical adversary of the USA. 8) Ordering to loosen the grip on Russian cyberattacks. 9) Calling the democratically elected president of a country invaded by Russia a dictator. 10) At least temporarily stopping aid to that country, which allowed Russia to push back soldiers on the defensive.

So with this in mind, what do you think would have been worse under Kamala?

All of the above

I was hoping to get an honest response to understand your view, but your reply doesn't make sense. I'm sure you know that. It's a shame you don't see an issue with being intellectually dishonest.
