This kind of goes with my theory that what Trump is doing is so heinous Democrats worry if they call it all out they'll look like the crazy ones. Given that mainstream media fact checkers always have their hair splitter fired up to call an accusation unfair, it's not an entirely irrational fear. - ThreadSky

Super revealing that the consultant class thinks actually describing what Trump is up to in plain language is “hyperbolic.” Explains a lot of why the response seems so ridiculously out of step with reality.

Agreed. History does hold true to the theory that challenging beliefs, no matter how irrational or illogical they are, can bring you unwanted attention.

Inmates running the asylum. What are ya going to do, call them crazy? No shit they're crazy. Need to just back up the padded truck

Rare is the headline that doesn’t temper the insanity of what Trump and the GOP is doing. The press needs to be blunt. People aren’t paying enough attention.

This is the same shit they said about the Ryan budget. Sure, the focus group, seeing it one fucking time, thought it was outlandish. Guess what happens if you repay it thousands of time

Just keep saying it over & over again & let the ‘fact checkers’ whine.

At some point, Ds will figure it out.

Some in the party have gone as far as taking legal action against others in the party to try to silence them for calling it out, even using the complaints about being called out for it from GOP members as their reason for taking that legal action.

You don’t have to call out every act use the ones that land with the most people

Still, between DOGE aid shenanigans, the Bobby Kennedy brain worm running health, and the reverse Robin Hood budget, he's indisputably leading a regime that is intent on killing people and whatever it takes to make that known should be on the table.

It has to be on purpose. Even they aren't that stupid.

yep
this is not just 'politics' -
thousands...probably hundreds of thousands of Americans will be directly harmed by the unbelievably greedy/selfish #republican 'big beautiful' (Robin Hood in reverse) budget
some are saying the biggest transfer of wealth from working poor to wealthy in history 👿☠️

Exactly. Which is why they should stop carving out groups like families or the middle class as if those are the only groups that are affected or (cynically) vote. It should be them (the admin of bozos) vs us (everyone else).

People literally do not believe you if you describe what he is doing in plain English. They get mad at YOU.

They’re trashing the First Amendment is not hyperbole. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/us/politics/pete-hegseth-prayer-pentagon.html?unlocked_article_code=1.JE8.TFGI.APSJ9Cla_ydS&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

It's likely part of the reason. I often feel like I sound crazy when I talk about P 2025, DOGE, or the techbro billionaires plans to make us all their serfs. It *is* insane. Only it wasn't me who came up with any of it.
