Neither party will crash and burn, because the american people are 1 step removed from being neanderthals. Republicans vote against their own self interest because of an old hatred for the democratic party that is steeped in racism, and because america is seriously really fucking stupid. All you have to do is bring on kid rock, lynard skynard, love god, guns, alcohol, and be at the very LEAST cautious of minorities (not including white women), and you will get 50 million votes.
There is a reason trump is ahead. The republican party has been political and social extremist for a while. Finally someone is saying it very bluntly though. Thats why even a retard above all other retards, megyn kelly, along with bill oreilly, are condemning trump.
Trump is making history. America will never forget the tens of millions of stupid, ignorant assholes who almost got trump elected. Trump is already acting like a fascist dictator, and he hasnt even been awarded the nomination yet. lol
Republicans and trump supporters are filled with murica loving, constitution obsessed, crazy mofos, who are literally reigning in a fascist piece of shit to be their president. LOL. His supporters havent read a book in 30 years im sure, so why not repeat the actions of the worlds most vile human beings. lol
I dont think they pretend they dont at all. The left leaning side of politics is usually owning that shit up, because its easy to be on the side of common sense and decency on the left vs the right. Iâve never heard anyone shit on the right, and pretend it didnt happen. Not on tv or in real life.
John oliver also runs a comedy show. So if he can poke fun that his name shouldve been drumpf, you have to take that ammo and use it. Its not going to change anything, but its funny. Unless the right is being the very exact thing they hate. Overly sensitive, politically correct, marshmallows who throw a fit when someone doesnt agree with everything they say.
Trump isnt even a republican at heart either. Which makes all of this funny in a way. This guy is a capitalist, plain and simple. He plays what cards he needs to play to maintain his needs and wants.
Weâre also ignoring the fact that the other 90 percent of john olivers video was not about making fun of his name, but about how ridiculous it is he could be our next president, and why everything he says out of his mouth is nonsense.
**No one is basing their entire show on how shitty donald trumps hair is. Theyre shitting on him bout legitimate issues and not pretending they arent. He deserves to get shit on for the stupid shit he says. Unless weâre back to accepting stupidity as the american standard. Hence why weâre in this position in the first place. **
I actually donât understand why youâre disagreeing with me. One more time, starting the whole Drumpf thing was him throwing a tantrum. I saw the video. The whole thing is exactly all thatâs wrong with Trump as a candidate. He has a few solid ideas and the rest is an enormous clusterfuck of unintelligable shit delivered incredibly well. Going on the lol drumpf brigade though does absolutely nothing to do anything. Its just dumb divisive shit and makes people look like morons.
On an interesting note, from Senator Sanders:
Considering that a lot of the protesters just wanted Trump supporters to FeeltheBern, how are things gonna go now?
Except anglicizing a name when you came over to America is literally thousands of people did. Even more did during the first world war because they didnât want the to be associated with the Axis.
Its about as non-issue as you could get with anything.
I doubt they will be able to pin this on bernie enough to stick. When fox news doesnt really have your back, just 2 days ago one of your supporters elbowed someone in the face and said we should kill him if we see him again, i doubt that for some reason bernie can turn into the bad guy out of all this.
This really isnt an action of clinton or bernie supporters who just dont like trump because hes a republican. Its an action against a man promoting nonsense, and still succeeding. Its frustration with the establishment still. Theyre voting for trump to be anti establishment, but are happily endorsing sexism, racism, perversion, fear mongering, and fascism.
The american people should be up in arms. To ensure we dont end up with some 21st century version of mussolini.
Trumps gonna start back peddling, and then pretend nothing happened. I still honestly believe he never intended to be the president, or the republican nominee. Hes out of touch. He couldnt have thought the american people would cling to him like this.
He can deal with fumbling idiots during the republican debates, but with all this ruckus brewing every week around his name, i doubt he can live through the general election now, and earlier today i said he could possibly beat hillary in the GE. He would totally get smashed by bernie though.
lol. Right on. There still isnt consistent enough behavior to waste time pinning it on bernies campaign though. Unlike trump who you can talk about that shit for years at this point.
Two self absorbed, self rightous groups ruining shit and inciting intimidation through a show of force and shutting down events.
I thought bernie sanders supported shit like freedom of expression or freedom. Arenât they the ones crying about âdemocracyâ and how we need it, yet this is what they do? Not only are they shutting down events and suppressing speech. IDGAF if itâs hatefull or hurtful, or that the potential for a shit head being president becomes president. Thatâs the chance you take in a democracy, and if you donât like that there will be people like Trump who may or may not become president, well those are the consequences you have to deal with. Is democracy suddenly not a good thing when it chooses wrong?
Sander supporters on the same tier as Trump supporters.
It went down last night, hype af. I blame Trump. There is no way in Hell he coulda thought it was a good idea to bring one of his rallies to The City and least of all the maâ fuckinâ Pavilion. I knew that shit wasnât gonna fly. Folks had the stink face as soon as he announced where that shit was gonna be at, weeks ago. They made him take that shit somewhere else, right or wrong.
You have the right to say whatever you want, but you canât force people not to react to it.
Sanders condemned Trump rally violence last time, so I hope he stays consistent and talks down his supporters this time as well, otherwise Hillary will definitely pin this as his brand of âpolitical revolutionâ.
Both Ted Cruz and Macro Rubio condemned Chicago riot on Trump
And Cruzâs social media presence took a hit with his facebook supporters vowing to switch to Trump, and his twitter follower count also decreased by quite a bit.
^God damn that shit makes my blood boil. I know its easy to name call and shit but its another thing to completely disregard the value of life.
But who am I kidding. Have fuckers in this thread saying âlul it just lumps of cells, dummyâ.
I wish people were still taught the saying of âsticks and stonesâ. Cause apparently the left is to mentality stunted to think about consequences of their actions. You shouldnt be to concern about what I think, rather the actions of the people that support your ideology.
Cause the average middle ground dude that sees that is gonna be a Trump or Hillary supporter.
(Assuming the media reports the attacks. Iâve skimmed things but so far they said no attacks happened.)
You act as if itâs only the left that have any problems. Honestly, being partisan is just as fucking stupid as being racist; This isnât the fucking civil war but so many people act like they canât cooperate and collaborate whatsover because âred vs. blueâ or âwhite vs. blackâ or âgood vs. badâ. People trick themselves into thinking they are the good people inherently so they can do no wrong, and in turn they fuck up in the worst ways, and demonize anyone who remotely has any nuanced, individualistic ways of thinking when it comes to any social topic.
Sure, I insult Republicans a lot, but Iâm moreso making fun of the caricature of your typical Republican voter. Realistically I donât have a problem with the people themselves compared to policies and views because I know ignorance has fueled peopleâs emotions and caused them to lash out in a nonconstructive way. Otherwise, a lot of them are people just like me who just happen to believe in different ideas than I do. Just to be clear, I also think a lot of Democrats are just as fucking moronic, which is why I hate social authoritarians and the regressive left. The way some of these drone ass supporters act make the rest of us principled progressives look bad. I donât want to stifle anyoneâs speech, Iâd prefer people make complete asses of themselves so I can crush them in a debate. I donât agree AT ALL with the way those Sanders supporters acted and I sincerely hope Bernie decides to condemn them for their actions, but also educates people on the dangers and the slippery slope of what that kind of mentality brings to the table.
To iterate my final summation and main point here with this post: **Itâs the us vs. them mentality thatâs hurting our society, pitting hard-working honest people against one another while the elitist donor class run out the backdoor with our cash, resources, and rights while they feed us sound bytes about how âfreeâ our country is. **
A lot of it has to do with the holier than thou mentality the left has coupled with how much the right has gotten curbed stumped in a lot of popular media. Both sides have massive issues, one side, which wants to find faults in everybody, is largely unwilling to admit that their behavior contributes to the divisiveness.
So shutting down events through force isnât on the same tier as kicking people out of venues through force?
Whatever reasons you do it for, if you talk a game about being smarter and value democracy and all the standard self absorbed bull shit sander supporters like to view themselves as, doing this puts you automatically on the same level as the ones you look down on.
Anybody who thinks this was right is on the level of trump supporters. Hiding behind false sense of moral superiority wonât hide this fact. Hiding behind the idea that trump cannot be president and should be blocked by any means necessary automatically puts you on the same tier of hypocrit as trump supporters.
So t like it, change your stance and justifications to stay in line with what Sanders is actually blabbering about. Like solidarity and democracy no matter what happens.
Fair point, though I think both sides equally donât admit to each othersâ faults. I mean, itâs rare for me to meet an average Republican voter bring up any realistic social ill or topic that doesnât pin the blame on minorities (race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, etc.), poor people, young people, and/or liberals in general. This fuels the cycle because that kind of ass-backwards way of thinking is what causes a lot of people on the left to develop that âholier than thouâ mindset. Typically, that right-winger behavior makes it easy for left-wingers to inherit the belief that they are the âgood guysâ because we are taught as children that putting down people for any reason is wrong, and to follow the golden rule. From there, you get left-wingers with their heads up their ass believing that they can do no wrong because they are on the âright side of historyâ, and that anyone who doesnât agree with them are degenerates. However, itâs two sides of the same coin, because both groups do this shit to each other.
Again, both sides are just as quick to label the other the Bogeyman and blame those on the other side for all their problems instead of just working together to solve very real and very severe issues. I will say this: when it comes to politicians, the reason for a lot of these people not even attempting to cooperate has little to do with their beliefs as an individual, or as a representative of the American people, but rather their lack of cooperation has much to do with their donors and lobbyists who manipulate them into doing the opposite of what the people want. This helps fuel the scorn that both sides feel because they believe theyâve been wronged by the government and the other side, when realistically theyâve yet again been duped by the elites and the donor class who manipulate these officials to do their bidding for cash, ass, and a long political career.
On a side note, Iâd like to point out that the political spectrum isnât as simple as left and right as you guys might already know, but thereâs a political compass. âLeftâ and âRightâ actually points to economic issues and how one feels about those, while the Y-Axis of that compass points to âAuthoritarianâ and âLiberalâ when it comes to social issues. This means that there can be people on the authoritarian left, the authoritarian right, the liberal left, and the liberal right.
Me, being on the liberal left, believes that when it comes to social issues, do whatever the fuck you want as long as youâre not infringing on the rights of others. I donât give a ratâs ass if you want to be gay marry, do drugs, have an abortion during the first trimester freely, own a gun or many guns, or believe in any god you want. As long as youâre not infringing on other peopleâs rights, then youâre golden to me. However, when it comes to economic issues, I believe that there should be a safety net to keep everyoneâs standard of living a decent one. I believe nobody should have to struggle profusely to accomplish absolutely nothing with their lives, as that is not a life of dignity, and it leaves people feeling subhuman.
