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.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  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

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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!

Summary

As election day nears, Donald Trump’s rhetoric has become increasingly unhinged, highlighted by a rally in Milwaukee where he simulated performing a lewd act on a malfunctioning microphone and threatened backstage staff over technical issues.

His actions, including racially insensitive remarks and fantasies of revenge against opponents like Liz Cheney, have left many stunned by both their content and political imprudence. Social media reactions ranged from shock to criticism of his behavior, with many comments too graphic to share.

Tom Nichols of The Atlantic remarked that Trump’s supporters avoid news sources outside their bubble to maintain plausible deniability about his mental instability, claiming they support him for policy reasons while ignoring his erratic conduct.

Perverts have got a long history of thinking of sex acts whenever they see him open his mouth*

Fixed. Imagine looking at this and your first thought is "blowjob" https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bc04d81b-cb7b-40bb-b2a2-e41c86f37164.jpeg

Imagine looking at this and desperately sanewashing Trump to pretend that he's not simulating oral sex with his mic at his pathetic rally.

'Come on, of course he's pretending to suck dick at a random time during a public speech on a completely unrelated topic!'

Listen to yourself, for crying out loud.

Is this monumental straw-grasp really where your attention should be focused, this close to the election?

Go ahead and explain in your own words what you think Trump is doing in this video.

I don't have to speculate about what I "think" he's doing, I actually saw the context directly. I know it might be a foreign concept to you, but I don't just blindly accept without question what I see on social media. You may be content to be this gullible, but I'm not, and that's a flaw on your part, not mine. Intellectual laziness.

He was talking about having problems with malfunctioning microphones, and was pantomiming messing with a mic and talking into it to see if it works. He did almost exactly the same thing with an actual dying mic in his hand not two minutes before this clip.

You're only making yourself look like more of a pornsick coomer by insisting so hard that he, for no apparent reason, just decided to start pretending to suck a penis.

The context is that Trump has had a long history of making sexual comments such as "grab them by the pussy" and comments on the size of Arnold Palmer's penis.

The other part of the context is that your entire Lemmy comment history is full of Trump apologia. You are the only person in this comment chain who is trying to explain away Trump's obvious sexual innuendo as something else, when the video is right there for everyone to see. And a user named "damnedfurry" accusing someone else of being a "pornsick coomer" for calling out Trump reeks of projection.

You must be mistaking Lemmy for Truth Social, because nobody on Lemmy is buying your garbage.
