All of this was true in 2016 and it didn’t seem to matter then!
No it wasn't. Trump wasn't remotely as unstable as he's been in just the past months. Sure, he said stupid and outrageous things, even wildly illogical things, but not like this.
Yeah, trump wasnt saying stupid shit like "i wonder if we could get the bleach into peoples lungs" and "covid will go away by easter, like magic" back then
At that time we already knew about the central park five too, Trump took out giant newspaper ads to try and get five people killed because they weren't white. This didn't deter nearly enough people, and his share of poc votes only grew after his first term too. At some point I have to think this is who we are, or at the very least this is who half of us are.
I mean - I disagree it wasn't like this. It was exactly like this. It's worse, yeah, but this same statement could very well have been made in 2016 and would have been just as true:
“If it wasn’t clear by his erratic, self-obsessed behavior, his pathological lying, his lack of moral conscience, his assaults of women, and his blatant disregard for the safety of others, more than 200 experts agree that he is unfit for office,” Conway said. “Voters need to recognize the threat we face electing this deranged man.”
It was exactly like this in 2016. It was just a lot harder for laymen to spot. Many clinicians discussed feeling a responsibility to warn vs interpretation of the "Goldwater Rule".
And Noem is doing her "I'm a Little Teapot" impression
I thought *YMCA" but everyone hates him so much a public domain song is probably the answer.
But she's doing the "C" the wrong way ;)
Thanks. Does the article show the ad? What's the point of an article about the ad if it doesn't show the ad.
It didn’t for me, I got the impression the article was written before the ad was “out”, but i dunno. Hence the YT link
Psycho PAC sounds like a street fighter secret shadaloo technique.
Shit I didn’t need a doctor to tell me that.
Psycho PAC is a great name.
Only 230? That's disappointing
230 signed currently, thousands more agree.

Rules:
- 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:
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
That's all the rules!
