Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

And yet, somehow his supporters will see this as a sign of strength.

It's like the whole "Never Surrender" shirts with Trumps mugshot on them. Not seeing that the orange piece of shit did, in fact, surrender.

At least they broadcast their hypocrisy up front. 😐

[–] Theprogressivist 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, the irony is lost on them.

I've made a point to teach people what woke means.

It means awake, as in aware, as in you think critically about what you're told instead of believing it blindly

Conservatives are using the word correctly... They just don't realize what they're saying

A shame they're too thick to recognize it themselves

His supporters will never see this unless they saw it in person.
They've been carefully trained over the years to only accept news from conservative sources and those sources will only provide them with carefully curated pro-Trump propaganda.
If Trump went out on stage tomorrow and suggested we repeal the 2nd amendment, none of his supporters would ever know.
Fox and OAN know he's losing his mind and that he probably has some form of degenerative dementia, that's why they won't put Trump on air live and why they scream about Biden's mental health all day.

Funny thing about that...

[–] Chainweasel 15 points 1 year ago

Numerous faux pas like this are exactly why Fox or OAN don't put him on air anymore.

LiberalGunNut™ here! You better believe I throw that out there given half a chance. He also ordered bump stocks banned, which I'm down with.

Great party game! Throw that quote out there and say, "Can you fucking believe a sitting President of the United States said some boolshit like that?!"

Y'all know what to do next.

"Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump said.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trump has the most prions, in your face libs

[–] irreticent 2 points 1 year ago

I can see them folding as he speaks.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

They’ll just do some whataboutism and bring up Biden’s “cognitive abilities”, even though we all know Trump has been screaming incoherent nonsense since 2015.
