Submit posts (from anywhere) where people unknowingly describe themselves.

Specifically, someone who, when attempting to mock or denigrate their political opposition, accidentally describes themselves. They aren't self aware enough to notice. Or, alternatively, someone who accurately describes the world while trying to parody it.

Honestly that's the minority on /r/conservative right now. Most are saying he fucked up and he's fucking up by refusing the next debate. Many are even saying it's over.

Honestly, this is the most heartening thing I've read about US politics in recent years. (PS. Am not American, and not in America)

I saw those replies. Reality has set in. But I think they'll go back to drinking the koolaid unfortunately.

That whole sub works on cycles - news breaks, there's an immediate negative reaction towards trump and a couple of days later the sub finds some way to spin the whole thing.

It's fun watching them get told how to think in real time, though I'm not sure if it's done big conspiracy with some russian telling them how to think or just a collective coping mechanism.

Gosh, I really hope that sense of defeat is everywhere.
