The position as an at-large delegate for the Florida Republican Party will be the highest-profile political role thus far for Barron, former President Donald Trump’s youngest son.

It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight.

Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News.

In a family full of politically involved children, Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, has retained much more of a private life than his older brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom will also be Florida at-large RNC delegates, along with Trump’s daughter Tiffany.

      Are you vegan? Because with the lab grown meat tech we have now, future generations are going to say shit like “HE ONLY MASS MURDERED ONE TYPE OF ANIMAL BECAUSE HE LIKED THE TASTE”

      The amount of mental gymnastics people will do to suck off the image of dead dudes from 200 years ago who designed a dogshit system is too god damned high.

      Like, what do you get out of sucking off dead dudes?

        I thought they did a decent job of providing historical context while refraining from condoning Jefferson’s actions.

        I’m not really doing any mental gymnastics, nor am I sucking him off. I’m just pointing out that you weren’t historically accurate in your comment, despite the sentiment being correct. I also happen to think that history is interesting (despite most of it being about rich white men – lots of credit to People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn) and that its important not to always paint over it with a wide brush soaked with our own modern sense of ethics and politics.

        Edit: Also, I’m literally a socialist. You could be less reductive.

          Sorry I read it and came to a different conclusion than you. I guess it’s not a shocker this place is also full of conservatives that just want people who disagree with them to “just shut up.”

            Calling this place full of conservatives is one of the most laughably stupid things I’ve read all week. One of my biggest issues with Lemmy is how I rarely see differing viewpoints, since it’s mostly liberals here. The biggest differences in opinions is how liberal are the viewpoints. Hell, the person you’re arguing with basically agrees with you and is just saying there is nuance and context to looking at history.

            You should just pack up and go home if you’re going to call Fediverse conservative. It’s the furthest thing from it.

              Lemmy.world is literally where all the fucking enlightened centrists hang out. This is a lemmy.world thread. It is well known as the fucking ex-redditor instance. The rest of the Fediverse, by comparison, is deeply leftist, yeah.

        You know how we can’t fix the system today because no one agrees?

        Yeah… they had the same problem then. That’s why the system sucks. Learn some history ffs.
