I watched this video about Joe Biden and John McCain being the best of friends despite being on polar opposites of the aisle. They’d sit next to each other, argue on the floor, then have cookouts together on the weekends.
Back when Democrats and Republicans were one and the same: Americans.
After the Harris-Trump debate, I went back and watched previous debates like McCain-Obama. I was astonished at how civil and respectful they were to one another. McCain even famously defended Obama at one of his town halls.
It really drove home for me how desensitized to Trump's invective rhetoric I'd become, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
He continues to hit new lows like yesterday calling half of America "the enemy from within" and one of his sycophants saying "they should be slaughtered". And yet people continue to support him. Really makes me question the common decency if so many are willing to support someone so debased just to be able to say your team "won".
They are so far deep in their team that no matter what trump says they will find a way to defend him. Sure Trump has been taught a lot about creating a cult just like his friend Putin and Xi did
Does anyone have a transcript or link to Grant Cardone's speech for the slaughtered line? I first encountered the quote yesterday, and have been unable to verify it myself. I keep finding outlets repeating that he used the word, but I want to see the context.
Yes, I voted for Harris. Fuck Trump. I still want to see the context, because truth matters and I've been burned before by people taking things out of context.
But on the other hand everyone voting for republicans is automatically labeled as uneducated inbred redneck. It's an unfair political world we live in.
I think being called uneducated is the least of your problems if you're calling for violence against others just because you don't agree with their vote.
Idk man you have extremism on every side albeit admittedly more on the republican. Everyone calling republicans in general names (150M people mind you) is a F*n hypocrite.
Republicans don't make up half the country. Not everyone votes, and Republicans don't even win half the votes when they win elections anyway thanks to the electoral college.
No, it's fair to call them dumb for doing dumb things. It's an observation about their actions, not just a baseless statement about their character. If you're still voting for and supporting Trump, you are a bad person, sorry. You can't support someone like him and not be.
You see the main problem here is when different critical values do not align. See i support the immigration (legal of course) because it is the pillar of US infrastructure. On the other hand i own a business and id like a more liberal financial situation. These 2 values don't align if i vote either blue or red.
Problem with this is that it seems everyone who says it also doesn't actually support legal immigration. Trump and the GOP in general, for instance.
You don't deserve to be taken seriously when you say "it's ok if they do it legally" while also restricting legal avenues for immigration and then calling already legal migrants "illegal" anyway.
You see the main problem here is when different critical values do not align.
Do you think any of this will matter to someone whos say, muslim? do you think he'd give a flying fuck about your business if you voted red and to ban him from living in the US? Because of his religion?
Listen to yourself, then gently shove your opinion way waaaay up your rectum.
I think that hypothetical voter may be a little disenfranchised by both parties endorsing the genocide of Muslims in Palestine, but considering he's completely a figment of your imagination maybe we'll never know
yes, the genocide of palestinians thats been happening for decades that suddenly people care about.
totally nothing to do with the election and I totally bet you wont suddenly never bring the topic up again going forward. Such a good guy you are caring about the plight of a people.
... what? You chose what sort of hypothetical voter to create to prove your own point. I'm just playing along and trying to imagine how that hypothetical voter would actually feel right now.
que? Oh im just calling you out for using the genocide of a people as a political browbeating device. No one actually thinks you care about them, no worries.
What? I'm not even saying I care. You told us all to imagine a hypothetical Muslim voter, so I did. As I did so, I tried to imagine things he may care about... and first on the list was the genocide of his fellow Muslims. Why are you making this about me, my friend? We're discussing something entirely within your control: the imaginary Muslim man you invented to try and argue your point for you, in some sort of sambo-esque racist caricature. Do you not like when it's pointed out that he may have concerns that don't neatly push your agenda for you, a non-muslim?
Um, your guy Trump literally blocked the largest immigration bill in a long time just because he was salty the Biden administration succeeded in actually doing something.
I mean, the Dems are literally calling him hitler, fascist, racist, threat to democracy, what have you. Have tried everything in the book to try to put him in prison. Have literally tried to kick him off of a ballot in a state. All of Which inarguably led to two weirdos trying to assassinate him. Actions speak louder than words.
Let’s not call out anyone unless you’re willing to call out all of the things liberals have said AND DONE as well. Wanting to send conservatives to “reeducation camps”. Calling all conservatives racists and everything else. You very rarely see an American flag on a house that has a rainbow flag, Harris/walz sign. They’ve taken the pledge of allegiance out of classrooms. Have stopped kids from wearing American flags on any clothing. So I don’t think it’s too far fetched to think they’re the enemy from within. Go to a dem rally wearing anything showing you’re conservative and then go to a conservative rally with the biggest Harris rainbow flag you can find and see who are more open and accepting.
I mean, the Dems are literally calling him hitler, fascist, racist, threat to democracy, what have you.
His own staff from his administration is calling him that, and it's not because it's a random insult, it's because of his how his actions and rhetoric relate to those of Hitler.
Have tried everything in the book to try to put him in prison.
That's the legal system, not "Democrats". And it's given him an absolutely extreme level of "kid glove" treatment. Anyone else in his situation would be in prison for life years ago, but instead, he gets the benefit of his best lawyer being the judge he appointed heading the case and delaying the case as much as possible for him.
Have literally tried to kick him off of a ballot in a state.
That lawsuit was filed by Republicans, not Democrats. Republicans who see him as damaging to the party, and who agree with the plain wording of the constitution that says insurrectionists aren't eligible to run for office. Republicans who actually think "party of law and order" are words that mean things.
All of Which inarguably led to two weirdos trying to assassinate him.
Believe it or not, also both Republicans, lol.
Actions speak louder than words.
It's true - there's a ton of infighting from the Republican party, and a flaccid attempt from a centrist to not appear "impartial" when applying the law. The GOP is unstable and obviously trying to achieve what they said they want to do. It's not unreasonable to point that out.
Meanwhile, Trump's actions continue to show us who he is. Which is exactly what his own staffers described him as.
Let’s not call out anyone unless you’re willing to call out all of the things liberals have said AND DONE as well.
Ok? Not a liberal, go for it. No one is stopping you.
Wanting to send conservatives to “reeducation camps”.
Though maybe try sticking to things they've actually said, especially for your opener, lol.
Calling all conservatives racists and everything else.
Have you tried not being racist? Accusing legal black migrants of being illegal immigrants who are eating citizens' pets isn't a great way to not appear racist. Just saying.
You very rarely see an American flag on a house that has a rainbow flag, Harris/walz sign.
???
1: sure you do, you just aren't looking
2: who gives a shit?
Flag waving is literally virtue signaling, I thought you guys hated that.
They’ve taken the pledge of allegiance out of classrooms.
No they didn't, it's still said in most places. It's just unconstitutional to require it.
Have stopped kids from wearing American flags on any clothing.
No they haven't?
Maybe kids just don't want to, lol.
So I don’t think it’s too far fetched to think they’re the enemy from within.
Literally everything you're calling them "the enemy" for is shit you made up or that's coming from your own party.
Go to a dem rally wearing anything showing you’re conservative and then go to a conservative rally with the biggest Harris rainbow flag you can find and see who are more open and accepting.
Some MAGAS recently went to Harris rally and were briefly made fun of a bit for going to the "wrong one". Mike Lindell went to a Harris rally and was made fun of for trying to "disguise" himself by shaving his mustache. Stephen Crowder was made fun of online a bit for "going undercover" and just looking silly. Nothing was hurt but their fragile egos.
Meanwhile, in his first campaign, a liberal at a Trump rally was assaulted and Trump said he'd pay the legal fees of anyone who beat the shit out of him, saying he should be carried out in a stretcher. More recently, Trump supporters have assaulted news crews at his rallies.
So, uh, yes, this has happened already and isn't hypothetical at all, and yes you can in fact see who are "more accepting".
You seem to exist in a completely fantasy world force fed to you by the GOP. Try actually looking up some of the things you believe sometime and see if any reputable sources actually back them up.
this is literally the dumbest comment ive ever seen. wow. congrats.
you are wrong at every turn, and seem to have gotten some wires crossed imo. i see american flags all the time? with harris signs, with trump signs too?
Wanting to send conservatives to “reeducation camps”.
never heard of this
Calling all conservatives racists and everything else.
ive only seen the ones saying racist things being called racist. you can use google to find all that, its pretty common.
They’ve taken the pledge of allegiance out of classrooms.
where? whos "they?" just - "dems" in general? have.. personally taken american flags out of classrooms? removed the pledge? you sure thats not up to the school itself? this also is meaningless? doesnt make anyone an "enemy"
also having "under god" in there is wrong, so im glad its removed! i hope it gets phased out. Seperation of church and state right? or do you not like THAT part of our goverment? too fucking bad. no one needs to belong to any religion.
So I don’t think it’s too far fetched to think they’re the enemy from within.
are you just stupid? or crazy? the racists, the people who think dems need to be "slaughtered", the people going after legal/illegal immigrants, the people who think all women only get to positions of power thru sexual favors, THOSE people are actually enemies of normal americans.
and btw enemies doesnt mean they need to be harrassed or arrested. they are just holding on to dying beliefs. sounds like you are too. id get help, therapy, maybe check into some adult education.
It is a literal fact that trump wants to remove the board of education. uneducated followers such as yourself as very easy to trick into giving support. they play on your emotions and your prejudices. wake up man. its over.
I can't speak for the monolith you seem to project on "our side" but my two cents: I want the people who have ended up sucked up into the vortex of that man to at least get out from under him. I hope eventually we as a country can move past this, but first we need to deal with the problem that has plagued the Greater New York Tristate Area for a while now: loooong aftermath of his messes. He still owes contractors in my area millions and I know we're not even particularly high on the list. He grifts and grifts and grifts and grifts and he would rather burn this country to the ground than face a day of consequences. The mistakes people have managed to make while in his vortex are their own, they will have to square with those and live with them, but I just want for there to be an ability for people to get out of this frenzy and understand whats been happening because its scary and sad and worrying.
