Libs need to understand that calling out the hypocrisies of Trump supporters does fuck-all. Not only do they do not care, they get off on triggering the libs in this way. They’re not the least bit interested in facts or consistency; they’re interested in getting their guy in office.
Not only do they do not care, they get off on triggering the libs in this way.
People need to understand that showing that you care about these things is all they need to feel you're "triggered." They don't care, and being able to be a hypocrite and make you angry is them exhibiting power over you. They don't have any power in this world, but at their core, they are people driven by a hunger for power, and so they turn to shit like being unrepentant hypocrites to exert power over others. They viscerally want a response where liberals are upset, because it's the only thing that shows them they have power over anything. They want to feel like they have an impact on the world, and since they're pathetic fucking losers otherwise, the only way to accomplish that is by being such a fucking piece of shit that everyone is upset with you.
Like everything with these people, it's about power. Actually, if we ignored their attempts to piss us off with their hypocrisy, they would get bored, because we wouldn't be giving them the attention they want and showing them that they have power over our emotional state by upsetting us by being garbage fucking people. (It's why they get bored with echo chambers like Gab and Truth Social and Twitter, they have no power if they're not upsetting others.) It's literally all they have going in their lives and they don't give a fuck how pathetic they are or how pathetic it makes them look, because it's all about the power they hold over others.
EDIT: Final note, do not underestimate their obsession with power and its impacts.
They don’t have any power in this world
I mean, they do, that’s why ensuring that there are more votes to oppose their fascist leader than they themselves can drop in favor of their fascist leader is incredibly important. You shouldn’t engage with them, but you should sure as fuck ensure that your vote matters in the fight against them.
Agreed. Everyone thinks trump supporters are gullible when majority of them are intentionally malicious.
Trump’s real power base has never been the white working class “basket of deplorables”:
The Nation, 2017: Trumpism: It’s Coming From the Suburbs
But scapegoating poor whites keeps the conversation away from fascism’s real base: the petite bourgeoisie. This is a piece of jargon used mostly by Marxists to denote small-property owners, whose nearest equivalents these days may be the “upper middle class” or “small-business owners.” FiveThirtyEight reported last May that “the median household income of a Trump voter so far in the primaries is about $72,000,” or roughly 130 percent of the national median. Trump’s real base, the actual backbone of fascism, isn’t poor and working-class voters, but middle-class and affluent whites. Often self-employed, possessed of a retirement account and a home as a nest egg, this is the stratum taken in by Horatio Alger stories. They can envision playing the market well enough to become the next Trump. They haven’t won “big-league,” but they’ve won enough to be invested in the hierarchy they aspire to climb. If only America were made great again, they could become the haute bourgeoisie—the storied “1 percent.”
This is why I never bought the "Joe has dementia!" line, it just feels empty when Trump always does crazy shit that makes no sense, and Biden's just... well... a boring politician
I mean, Joe might have dementia, but if my choice is between Biden or Trump, I'm picking Biden.
Every accusation is a confession.
A boring politician? Supporting Israel is boring?
I mean, it's pretty fucked up. But not in a way that stands out. Most US politicians support Israel.
We don't get a lot of good options here, just different degrees of shitty.
I'm pretty sure there's not a single person on the planet who expected them to be equally critical of both.
"You know, I'm like a very stable genius."
That's trumpspeak for "I know where horses come from."
Hopefully MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, NBC, PBS, CNN, Sky News will blast this for months and months. This needs to be repeatedly used for propaganda to brainwash stupid magas. It's for their own good. We need to protect them from dangerous Trump.
Before we eulogize the doomed Presidential campaign of Ron DeSantis, can we take a moment to marvel at the fact that the Republican party has been unable to find anyone who can legitimately challenge a nearly 78-year-old twice-impeached, historically unpopular former President facing 91 criminal charges? The GOP lost in 2018, 2020, and 2022 because Donald Trump was the face of the party, and the party is still going to trot him out because they’re all scared of a man who spends much of his day ALL CAPS yelling gibberish on a social media site that he owns and that is even more unpopular than Twitter. Sad.

Also said he won the election against Obama.
Meanwhile Mitch is just stroking out a bit in the corner
Are democrats critical of Biden's cognitive ability too or are both sides hypocrites?
I am, but I also think he's got a stutter, which causes it to be overplayed sometimes.
When I've heard Biden talk off the cuff he seems cognitively just fine, which is the biggest difference. He's always had that stutter, and a reputation for "gaffes" going back decades. But his "gaffes" are just impolitic comments, which who really gives a fuck about? I like his authenticity
I definitely am but I'll probably have to vote for him anyway so like fuck me, i guess
I love how all the responses are like, 'Yeah, of course.'
Yes we are.
You silly billy.
The point is that neither man is likely to have a cognitive condition that would affect their presidency.
It’s hypocritical because the Republicans constantly attack Biden for similar gaffes despite the fact Biden is pretty much just like Trump when it comes to mental acuity.
Do I think trump has completely lost his marbles because of one gaffe? No.
In the same way Biden is just as coherent.
Both men being relatively equal on this the distinguishing factor then turns to the fact that one has said they will be a literal dictator and the other likes ice cream and capitalism.
I find it hilarious that anyone can think that an 80ish year old man is fit to be the president of a country.
