Refusing to acknowledge reality is a common theme for maga.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 86 points 3 months ago

Also for those with dementia.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 57 points 3 months ago

Lot of overlap there.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

They all cheered at the convention when someone said Obama is secretly still in control of the WhiteHouse.

The RNC is basically the party of conspiracy theories through and through.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 15 points 3 months ago

I'm remembering a trump tweet while he was in the white house complaining about the deep state doing something and all I could think is "You're the freaking president, you are the deepstate you bafoon!"

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Personality Disorders helps too

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 89 points 3 months ago

This is so tiresome and annoying. His “bad” nickname for her is “smiling Kamala”. Really? That’s your big bad criticism?

I guess the unsmiling misery of the last 8 is supposed to be status quo now?

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

People will hear how he describes it and then see her and realize it isn't crazy at all, it's really friendly and welcoming. You can tell she's really excited and enthusiastic about the job she has ahead of her.

Trump's nicknames have always been at a fourth grade level. It appeals to people who don't read higher than a fourth grade level.

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 82 points 3 months ago

How soon until he refers to Harris as "Hillary" or his other nemesis "Nancy"?

[-] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Hell he might throw a Niki in there! This whole situation has taken me from being low key terrified to can't wait for what next.

[-] mineralfellow@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

So many N words for him to choose from...

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 72 points 3 months ago

He's too senile to change tactics. I'm willing to bet half the reason he chose Vance was because they knew he was going to screw up and say Pence a bunch, and the similarity of pronunciation would give them plausible deniability.

[-] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

Omg that makes total sense!

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 69 points 3 months ago

“Tomorrow trump will wake up and forget biden even dropped out!” - dementia addled trump

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Every accusation is a confession, after all.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 46 points 3 months ago

They also don’t know the difference between socialism and communism. His voters are morons.

Good, good, keep running against the wrong guy. Your dumb cultists will stay enraged, as you like them, but those who are possible to actually reach might be turned off by it.

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

Why would he? In his fantasy world, Biden is his easy opponent, he's perfectly innocent and not a convicted criminal at all, he is actually the smartest person alive, instead of just the smartest person he's ever been. Why would he join us in reality when his imaginary happy place that's shared by millions of FOX viewers is so much more attractive?

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 14 points 3 months ago

just the smartest person he's ever been

He's not even that. His brain is clearly deteriorating.

[-] Blum0108@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Good luck trying to convince his brain that.

Trump would be crazy to try and debate her.

So, he probably will. Good times.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No he won't. He's already doing a cop out saying he will only debate her if Fox hosts and moderates.. Which I believe is impossible since the agreed networks (one of them isn't Fox) have already been agreed

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 months ago

Fox is also an entertainment network, not a news network, as they themselves have claimed.

I wish they'd stop using pics of dementia donnie with the maxi pad on his ear. The less we are reminded about another Republican trying to take this clown out, the better.

[-] Kashmir@midwest.social 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's like some kind of badge of honor in his eyes. See, he survived a shooting! Why can't those dang kids survive. For anyone that needs this /s

Sometimes, when people get older, they get a little confused. It happens. Donald, he's getting up there, and maybe he's just feeling a little confused again. Like that time he mixed up Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi.

Maybe he should drop out of the race, let someone a little younger and more aware take over.

Step 1: Denial

How long before his old brain processes all the stages of grief?

Old Sleepy Don rambles incoherently about those competent presidents, Obama and Biden, even if they aren't running. We need a debate ASAP to see how Harris chews Old Don Poorleone up and spits him out.

[-] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

He so old, he must be confused

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Bitch too old, I’m not sure he has the cognition to grasp the new reality.

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago

Too demented to remember. Sad. Big sad

[-] ImpressiveEssay@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

He hasn't figured it out yet..

He's too old to comprehend

Cool. Keep fighting ghosts.

Is he going to sue himself for making him waste time attacking a non-candidate?

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.

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

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.
