Ain't this the truth..

[Beachnutt]

If we lived in a normal world, someone who:

-Threatened to execute the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

-Led a coup against our democracy

-Called to “Terminate” the constitution

-Repeatedly praised dictators and the brutal way they rule their population

-Threaten to shut down news channels

-Dined with and praised white supremacists

-Endorsed by war criminal Putin

-Sexually assaulted more than 26 women

-Is out on bail in four different jurisdictions

Would never be a leading candidate for president of the US.

1. And the list goes on and on and they would STILL vote for him.

It’s sickening and disgusting.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. That mental abuse has scrambled a lot of brains

What could bring them back to reality, and what will the fallout of that be?

To me, that is the question.

[Beachnutt]

3. It's downright craziness,

Faux news and social media have turned many in this country into complete idiots.

[birdographer]

4. The raw material was pretty weak to start with, though.... nt

[housecat]

5. and the media knew it

[calimary]

6. Deeply disappointing, isn't it!

I don’t know who’s more wrong and/or fucked up: him, or everybody who still somehow looks upon him favorably.

[Goddessartist]

7. Yep, but these are not normal times.

[Bluethroughu]

8. This is Murica.

The minority rule of our country needs to be put to rest, in order to get out from this chaos. We need to abolish the Electorial College and end Citizens United.


We can do all...

Pack the court! Save our Democracy.

[Probatim]

9. And christians love him - LOVE HIM.

Love the everloving shit out of him.

[byronius]

12. Yet they are concerned with decreasing membership.

Hmmmmm.

[Probatim]

14. They continue to piss in their own pool - and expect people to jump in?

Between sexual abuse/assault, rank hypocrisy, smarter/more realistic younger generations, and support for assholes like TFG, I'm shocked they're shocked over declining membership.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Thing is, magats don't believe any of it, and others are doubtful bc mainstream media

The doubtful folks are suffering from the profit-oriented mainstream media who thrive on normalization of candidates to keep it a "horse race".

The magats may believe tRump is out on bail, but they fundamentally really don't believe any of the charges or accusations have merit.

For example, they believe Milley is a traitor and should be executed. They say he called China to let them know he wasn't going to obey tRump and attack them if it came to it.

They are okay with Putin, and think tRump had a special relationship (favourable to the US) with Putin. They repeatedly say Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if tRump was still president.

"Coup"? What coup? Yeah, they say, some antifa got violent or instigated violence, or "fibbies" (FIB = FBI) instigated violence, but nobody seriously wanted to kill Pence or disrupt the proceedings. They say the J6 prisoners are political prisoners, and that the sedition charges etc are fake and politically motivated. They call the J6 trials the real coup.

11. And someone who was proven to have withheld the danger of a deadly disease

and withheld PPE from blue state docs and nurses!!!

[AncientOfDays]

13. The bad part

is that many of the MAGAs know he's criminal, but see him as weapon against Dems/liberals/etc, who they believe are keeping them from power.

15. I always despised tRump from the moment he came down the escalator.

I had zero interest in him just because of his reputation that came long before he decided to interject himself into politics.

But the absolute breaking point that is etched in my mind was the day he mocked and belittled the disabled journalist to his face. I happened to have the tv on and he was at some event where he was blathering on, pointing at “the media” and his usual crappola. When he called the man out, I just stood there dumbfounded how he could get away with such cruelty and unnecessary, disgusting behavior. As I stood there in disbelief, tears came to my eyes. My heart just broke for the man as he stood there listening to the bully attack him for things he could not help. The condition of his body was beyond all available medical intervention to fix. And yet the man had achieved a career in journalism. Such a testimony to the triumph of the human spirit.

But to top it all off, later on tRump denied he mocked the man. It was as if he has zero self awareness or that he had gone too far. Even more shocking to me was the fact that his true blue fans to this day do not recognize the cruelty of this monstrous man. They seem to think it is a sign of his strength, not his lack of character.

I do not understand how or why this has happened unless many of these people are just as cruel and characterless as tRump is. I fear for our country if he prevails in the 2024 election. My hope is that at least one of the prosecutions he faces will eliminate him from that possibility as he struggles to remain out of prison for the rest of his miserable life. My biggest hope is that Justice prevails and his attempts to remain free are unsuccessful.

[people]

16. Agreed 100%

[dalton99a]

18. People who saw that video and voted for him are just as vile.

[Demobrat]

21. People who saw that video and voted for him

would do the same and admire him for it.

[LoisB]

19. +1000

[Seinan Sensei]

22. The breaking point for me was TFG calling Veterans suckers and losers

Words fail me

[Basic LA]

17. I have two generations of Ukrainians next door...

... and they LOVE tfg. Mention Biden and they vibrate with rage. I don't get it. Now they've built a 6' fence around their house so it looks just like a fort. And this is in blue L.A.!

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. That's why I think the MSM are completely missing the big picture

This isn't even about Democrats vs Republicans
or liberals vs. conservatives
or woke vs. asleep?


Its about social media, and the way it is structured to promote the vilest opinions. And the algorithms that will feed you more and more extreme versions of what you just watched.

Combined with human nature. The human nature that will, logically to a degree, believe in what they see or hear the most. Specifically that human nature in the dumbest among us.

It already started decades ago when Fox News started. But they were outflanked by other network news departments at first. Even though they developed a growing audience due to the brilliant strategy to go after other news networks as liberal, pro government, anti-God, anti-family etc.. this alt-facts strategy really took off with social media's rise. And the algorithms it employs to feed you only what you want to see.

One reason there is little push back is because its what we want. I like it too. I don't get Alex Jones or Candice Owens or Dennis Prager coming up on my YouTube feed. I get The Majority Report, TYT, the Rational National etc. Plus anything else I am interested in at the time. Tying fishing flies, or animal rescues, etc.

But this is clouding a huge swath of folks in an alt-facts cloud where they are conditioned to HATE Democrats as the worst evil in history. There is no balance of stories whatsoever.

There has to be a concerted effort to reign in way social media companies feed their clients news information. (I'm willing to get the occasional Prager video if that's what it takes) That or there has to be more of a fact check on political channels and if they get too many strikes against them they are banned.

To me its frightening how blithely misguided the MSM is on what is the real problem with why so many in America are so misled. and its disappointing watching the Democratic party also ignore this huge threat to truth in Americans making their democratic choices.

23. If we lived in a normal country, our so called "News" networks would be telling the truth

about the MF'er.
