To my mind, Ban has always meant permanent.
Then explain perma-ban
Joke aside though - ban is a toggle. You can toggle something on or off, but it usually implies something temporary. You can then manually unban someone at a later date, or have the unban be automated in some cases.
"I turned the lights on" - there is no expectation that you never turn them off again
"It is snowing outside" - at some point it will stop snowing
"I'm banned from my local book club for repeatedly asking if they made a movie for that one" - this too shall pass. Maybe in 4 years when I go back they'll forgive me and let me back in, and by that time I'll have watched Moby Dick - manual toggle of the ban back to 'off' is expected here.
"I was banned from Day9's stream for backseating" - here the ban would have an automatic limit, maybe something like a million seconds.
So if you get to vote for president again, you'd vote with the cunts who lied that you'll never vote again?
Stockholm syndrome is a thing, and democrats have it. I fucking hate Republicans and Trump, but seeing a dem try to pretend the other side is hell incarnate and that Trump is gonna remove elections, and in the same breath try to convince you to vote for them in the future SUPPOSEDLY REMOVED FUCKING ELECTIONS? Jesus fucking christ what a disgusting bag of hypocritical chodes your party can be. Go pardon a criminal just like your political opponent is running from justice, and then come back to the table in 4 years to say you're not the same.
Anyone voting for Republicans or democrats is fully fucking retarded.
