I'm pretty sure he praised OJ Simpson at some point in the middle of all of that as well. He was also very concerned about offshore wind farms killing whales in record numbers. And there was that one incident where he just stood around on stage saying and doing nothing for an hour while golden oldies played.

The press was too busy printing headlines about Trump calling Biden "sleepy Joe" though. And honestly I'm not sure if an honest and fair press would've even helped in this case. It would've just been librul deep state propaganda. And they would've just gone on with their decorative diapers, foam fingers and Trump bibles regardless.

I wish the press would have picked up on it and called him out.

There are so, so, so many instances of this. If they'd picked up on a few more we wouldn't be in this mess. But they ignored them all because they're complicit in all of this.

It's usually the dumbest, most infantile reason with him. He just negotiated rare earth materials with Ukraine, and he's after them again in Greenland. I'm starting to think he wants them because they literally have "rare" in the name.

Yeah, my friends from 20 years ago that fucking LOVED Bush now pretend they want nothing to do with him. Trump will be the same way. Set a reminder for 2045 to ask your favorite Republican what they think of Trump.

I remember sitting there, being embarrassed that W was the face of our country. I was thinking to myself, how did we let this happen, policy aside, he's really not a capable president and its horrific in speaking.

G'DAM if i don't miss that whyly bastard. I'd rather have someone with some actual moral values, but jesus i don't know how much worse it could get.

If Harris had won (perhaps by not pissing off big chunks of the Midwestern Arab population by repeatedly endorsing the genocide of their families)

Or perhaps by the Democrats taking economic inequality seriously and actually moving the needle on helping the working class.

If those Arabs thought that trump would in any way reduce the genocide, well... I will point them to the image above.

Well those midwestern Arabs can celebrate the… genocide of their families and themselves when they are deported right out of the country.

Not sure how this shit is any fucking different from the vast amount of killing we all support paying taxes to the us government. Of this killing is bad… ignore the killing over here, and here, and here, AND OH LOOK NOW IT’S HERE AT HOME!

Honestly sometimes I think right wingers have a fucking point about immigration if they are going to come here and vote away my fucking rights while caring more for a foreign country than the one they claim they want to live in they can get the fuck out then.

Everything about conservative American women was explained in Dworkin’s Right Wing Women.

Women who grow up in shitty sexist communities (eg, imagine being a teenage girl growing up in fucking Disney, Oklahoma.) You have no future. You are supposed to find a guy to marry yourself off to. You are promised this is the greatest thing ever, taught to fantasize about your wedding, to imagine you’re happily ever after.

Then you get married to some guy. Maybe he’s great, maybe he’s not. But you never got to be a person. You were never taught that you could be something more. You feel bitter and powerless in your community - you’ll never be the deacon, but you’ll always be cleaning up after the potluck.

But then you see other women who don’t have to live like that. This is a societal threat to these communities. That there are clearly women in the world who are happy and fulfilled in an office or a field, while you will never be anything more than a church secretary or PTA mom.

So the propaganda is always that these women are lying. They aren’t actually happy. They aren’t actually competent - they only got their jobs through “DEI.” They aren’t better than you, it’s a liberal plot.

This is also connected to the fear routine - see how the right wing women sphere is the TERFs. They whip up a history to aim the real anxieties and fears related to a culture that covers up sexual violence against women (how many youth pastors have we never heard about?) and redirects it to an acceptable target. Women who perform this well enough are even rewarded with having their voice recognized - that Phyllis Schafly made a career of telling other women to not have careers, that Rowling has defined the exclusion of trans women as a prime most important feminist feat (while women in the US die of lack of access to reproductive health care…)

They don’t benefit from DEI because they’ve been told not to want careers, and they are mad at the wrong people.

Their husbands told them that they should be pissed so they are pissed.

which is 'what they voted for'.
