Me: "What did you think about Trump's mugshot?"
My neighbor: "We got him!"
Me: "My daughter laughed and said it was funny that "they put him in timeout" because he was only there for like 20 minutes."
My neighbor: "Wait, he's out already?"

Mainstream politics is hilarious.
Our big wet boy gets a slap on the wrist and one side is acting like it's Christmas morning. Then the other side is trying to MAKE A MARTYR OUT OF HIM.
I lost interest so fast in the congressional investigations into Trump and Russia, I'm sorta shocked that people left that event thinking that Russia had deep tentacles into Western institutions.
Russiagate was always more a matter of faith than evidence. It was taken as pure gospel among libs that the shoestring budget Facebook psyop out of Russia switched enough voters to Trump to flip the election, despite a complete lack of evidence (most analysis indicated it was preaching to the choir).
"Russian Interference" vs "We're actually a worse country than you thought we were and have been for a long, long time".
The level of stupid the average Lib needs in order to kickflip into loving O'Bummer and Brandon but hating Trump is off the charts. Trump also somehow embodies all the things liberals hate and fear, all at once (even if those feelings are contradictory) which is bizarre as fuck once you apply a 3rd grade level of logic to any of it. Like, for example, somehow Trump is the stupidest man on earth (covfefe, blow up hurricanes with nukes, etc.) yet he's also a super smart deep state facist spy for Russia going back 20, 30, 40 years. Then in order to square that gap they make up shit like he's so indoctrinated they hypnotized him into carrying out the Kremlin's will.
Libs, for fucksake, get a hold of yourselves.
They need to see him as a villain, for his ascendancy to power to be a fluke or the result of cheating. The alternative is too much for them. The ultimate truth:
Trump is the quintessential 21st century American president. A catty gameshow host, a silver-spoon socialite, an unrelenting narcissist. The guy who does petty cons and outright thefts to every lawyer, contractor, and business partner he's ever had. If that isn't true americana, nothing is. Sure, he belongs in a cell, but so does every other president...
The ol' fascist line of my enemy is both weak and powerful at the same time. Imagine my shock when libs are trafficking in fash rhetoric.
the sky is coming down in Trump because he was rude to a journalist on twitter.
"Journalists" deserve far more than that anyway lol.
For me there is this contradiction that libs say: "Trump bad, he was ableist and a trash human!" and then turn around and use slurs at our instance, then get those comments removed and then say we are worse than 4chan for defending our comrades against ableism and transphobia. I just don't buy it that most libs are actually allies and aren't actually conflating the form (Trump not being civil) with the content (him being ableist).
Trump derangement is the only way to still be a lib and not have their heads explode from the dissonance
It's so cringe when libs call him Drumpf.
Stand-by to deploy payload:

covfefe
Pack it up boys, we got him.
He’ll never recover 
covid killed so many people who didn't deserve it and spared way too many people who did.
I've taken the RFKJ pill. Is he, too, deranged? Probably, but he's also the only candidate on the ballot in the Democratic New Hampshire primary. Go get em, Kennedy!
Dude he's a Nazi, right? Like straight antisemitism type?
yea what the fuck, dude is trying to outdo trump from the right on the Dem ticket because he knows he cant win the GOP primary.
Sometimes I think this community and instance might have some interesting views I can maybe learn from and about and sometimes, it's just... I don't know, like some kind of bougie fucking club for the self described intelligentsia
like some kind of bougie fucking club
you can call us a lot of things but idk that bougie is one of them
its the old 'socialists are all middle class educated liberals' bullshit, if you're actually poor its 'you're just lazy', if you're well off and a socialist its 'you're bougie'
dont worry about it, they always find some cope.
I grew up poor, my friends were having sex and doing harder drugs as young as 11 and Ive lost a friend to H. There isnt anything about me thats bougie
Curious why you think it's bougie? I understand that we can come across as smug or arrogant but I'm not sure how we ever come across as bougie or decadent or anything like that.
we literally want to destroy the bourgeoise.
like, the debate here is between putting them against the wall immediately like the romanovs versus giving them a chance to surrender their ill-gotten wealth and be rehabilitated like Puyi.
As an enlightened centrist, I want to see individual punishments for the bourgeoisie.
For example, Jeff Bezos will have to work as an Amazon warehouse worker, with all of the horrible monitoring bullshit he's inflicted onto his workers. People will be able to tune into a live feed of him standing in the corner pissing into a bottle so he doesn't have to go to the bathroom. When he's no longer able to keep doing that job, he'll become one of the only homeless people in the world, and will be kept locked in a park with maximally hostile architecture.
lol go fuck yourself
"The left is just a pampered bougie club full of people with no life experience" is one of the oldest right-wing takes in the book.
