We are screwed. These two video clips demonstrate that right wing media has turned vast swaths of the American public into idiots.
We have had national apathy about this for 6 or 7 years and now the chickens have come home to roost.
Nah but many of the narratives you like to push are.
Time to pay the piper John.
Yes we are. We have Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine in the Oval Office; and all some can do is focus on Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!!
Right wing media? They aren't nearly as fascinated and enthralled with Trump as mainstream media and leftist media morons; who have turn the TDS drooling followers into into single minded fanatics.
You are right. There has been a national apathy for 6 or 7 years to the BS to everything the Democrats have put this country through. Fortunately it looks like the Democrats chickens have come home to roost for midterms.
They can scream "But Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!" as their asses are hauled out of Congress to their heart's desires.
Here is a third clip. Republican pollster Frank Lutz tries to argue that the current broken state of American politics is a "both sides" issue, and then Joe Scarborough, after politely listening to Lutz, is having none of it.
Just ignore the fascist Democrats weaponizing the IRS, FBI, and DOJ against their political opponents. The FBI hiding/losing Hunter Biden's hard drives that contain incriminating evidence against the entire Biden family- after stating they were Russian disinformation. Has the FBI found Biden's daughter's diary yet? Notice neither Biden, nor his daughter, have denied anything in it. Pedophile is another charge Brandon can add to his list.
Forget our two tier justice system which is the envy of third world tin horn dictators everywhere.
Inflation, high gas prices, wide open borders, illegal immigration crisis, rampant crime, and the party responsible for it all in charge of the White House, House, and Senate.
Nothing broken about it. Democrats are doing exactly what they want. They could give a rats ass that the rest of us are having to pay for it.
And yet, left wing useful idiots continue returning to that hive for their daily programming.
Amazing ....
Some people are capable of believing anything. After all, flat Earthers are making a come-back. Personally, I cannot comprehend how a mind can be so devoid of critical thinking, but clearly millions of people illustrate this with the continued support of Trump.
The good news is that Trump supporters (those who would vote for him) seem to be waning. There will always, however, be a minority (as with flat Earthers) who will go to their graves believing the utter bullshit delivered by Trump.
They may be waning, slightly , but there is still enough of them to keep this country an idiocracy for years to come.
yeah, that's very true. But as Paul Harvey used to say, the rest of the story is that there are millions of people from all walks of life that believe what is put in front of them and are believing the lies FROM BOTH SIDES. There are plenty of people in the country (and several on this board) that we see daily who will continue to believe anything good from Trump or Biden depending on their partisan leanings. To ignore that both sides are just as messed up in their absolute belief that their side has done no wrong only continues to further divide this country.
There is no equivalent on the D side to Trump and, per my point, Trump supporters who to this day believe whatever he says.
Trump and Trumpism is unique in USA politics due to the extreme level and volume of lies and buying of lies by supporters Thus there is no historical equivalent of Trump on the R side either.
Now it seems like you are hiding behind Trump to avoid calling out anything the Democrats have been doing. I'm not talking about the extreme level that comes from Trump, just that there are people in the world that will blindly believe what comes out from "their" side due to their extreme partisan nature. They truly believe that their side can do no wrong.
IMO to just call out one side because it is so extreme is the same as ignoring what the other side is doing. Just because it's not the same type of craziness doesn't mean it can be ignored.
What is your problem Snuffy? Trying to pick a fight? This topic and my comment is about Trump. How on Earth do you get this "hiding behind Trump" nonsense?
Well I was. So why reply to me if you are not addressing what I wrote? And, yes, extreme partisans (all parties) believe whatever their trusted authorities tell them; nothing new there.
Again, what is this "call out one side" crap? I made a comment about the nutcases who still support Trump. My comment also noted that Trump and his supporters are unique and that neither the D nor R party has anything like this historically. Hello?
This is the same crap we have been getting from the right for the past 7 years.
Why is anyone picking on Trump or Trump supporters? Why not go equally after AOC or Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden? Or Black Lives Matter? Why pick on Trump?
Meanwhile we have strewn before us the utter wreckage of years of this cult like devotion to Trumpism. People should watch the two Morning Joe videos I linked to at the top. The reporter asks 10 Trump voters if they would vote for him again - not one of them says they are done with Trump. Not one. Even though the Jan 6th committee PROVED Trump tried to overthrow the US government, and then sat by as his mob stormed the national legislature ON HIS BEHALF.
God help America, because we need it.
Comparing "Trump" to "anti-Trump" is like comparing someone who burns a large apartment building down to someone who starts a fire in a garbage can out in the alley.
Pick a fight? No. Your comment at 3.0 (which I replied to) was about Trump Supporters, not Trump himself. So my response was to the supporters and I pointed out that we see supporters from both fucking sides that will believe what they are fed due to their partisan natures and refusal to believe anything else. You the veered into Trump only which is why I asked if you are hiding behind Trump.
Not so much in 3.0. Your comments there read as if you were talking about Trump Supporters. The only mention of Trump was "utter bullshit delivered by Trump."
Your entire comment string starting in 3.0 started with Trump Supporters and you had to deflect to Trump in 3.2.1. I not trying to pick a fight, if you don't want to discuss what you put down and my reply to it dealing with supporters then fine, go away. I won't bother responding to you any more because you don't want an honest fucking discussion.
Fuck off
So what? Like I said, there are extreme partisans in every party. Nothing new.
Trump however, is historically unique to any party. His supporters (those who would to this day vote for him) are thus also unique. Further, they are not necessarily partisans since they are not being loyal to the GoP but rather they are Trumpsters — loyal to Trump. It is sickening to watch.
More bullshit. I have not deflected to anything.
If only ...
This is nothing new. We are descended from British politics as was evident in the press before, during and after the Revolution.
Lies and dirty tricks aren't new whether it's a democracy or a monarchy.
The only obvious modern difference is the internet allowing anyone with access to social media to have a voice.
Partisan poison is as old as the human race.
Of course he could have. He could have said something like,
“Well, we did our best and we lost the election. I have concerns about the election and I will pursue those concerns through legal means. That will likely take time, but for now, we need to maintain our long tradition of a peaceful transfer of power for the sake of the Republic.
If the other side had a problem with this election, you know how they would react.
We all remember the absurd demonstrations - people destroying property and screaming at the sky - when I took office. It was a national embarrassment. We already know that the other side would be marching on freeways and burning down neighborhoods, but we are going to be the adults in the room and pursue our goals with maturity and set a more civil example. We are the better people and we will prove it. God bless you all, and God bless our American democracy.”
If he had said something like that, the January 6 event would have never happened.
And if Trump had wings he could fly into the sun.
So you dont think TRUMP could have said it, but you think it is a good explanation for any Republican to give. "We are going to be the adults in the room".
When was the last decade when that was the case? The 80's?
It sure wasnt the 90's , 00's, 10's or 20's.
And I thought the trolling was over. Shows what I know.
I didn’t say I don’t think Trump could have said it.
I also didn’t say it was a good explanation for, well, anyone or anything.
I swear to MFing God - is it really so hard to just read, think, and respond to what is actually written? Must you come here and just try to pick fights for no reason?
I said that it was a thing he could have said if his purpose was to stop the violence.
All you have to do is read and try just once to have a conversation instead of troll.
Why would anyone even suggest that Republicans could be the adults in the room? It hasnt happened in decades.
You don't have to worry about the minority of Repub voters John, it's the independents and Trump voting Dems that you need to keep your eye on.
Holy hell.
Totally frustrating isn't it...
Obama voters in the Midwest helped to elect Trump.
