It was a display of cruelty, and it should have been disqualifying. The fact that it wasn’t and that so many people either dismissed it, defended it, or even found it amusing was a real turning point in how much ugliness people were willing to tolerate. It revealed something unsettling Americans.

I think what we could have perceived then as complacency was actually them showing us their true colors—these people are unmitigated bigots who hate everyone and anything that is not like them.

I did for any real right thinking people! Not the phony Christian fucks! Their true selves were revealed! Religion is a crutch, mostly used by those who have no morals, & no real Christ like behavior, or truly even any Christ like thought!🤬🖕🏻🫵🏻
While his behaviour was absolutely disgusting, I was more disgusted, and frankly shocked, by all of those MAGAts who gave him a free pass to mock people with disabilities. At the time, I thought erroneously that even Republicans wouldn't go that low. I was wrong and know better now.
Not when he came down the golden shower escalator to claim Mexicans were rapists and drug dealers?
Or before that with birtherism?
Or when he went bankrupt for the 6th time?
Or when he took out a full page ad demanding the execution of the Central Park 5 AFTER they were exonerated.
And so on . . .
It should have ended with the “grab em by the puss” tape, but the Republican voters fell for the Con lock stock and barrel. Those who still believe in the Con aren’t even worth a discussion anymore.
Oh. And raping women AND CHILDREN. Absolutely blows my mind that people know this and it still wasn’t a “deal breaker”. I keep saying it but this man has shown all of us for 78 years exactly who he is.
When he was found guilty in a court of law of sexually abusing Ms. Carroll that should have been the point when even his most staunch supporters should have walked away. But no. They decided to elect a literal rapist. I still have never come to full terms with this. It's hard to have hope.
From what I’ve learned, his base believes that he was innocent of all he was accused of. Two of my oldest childhood friends firmly believe that he was sent by God to save this nation.
It should have ended with his dad slipping out of his mom, shooting the wad on the carpet, falling out of the bed, breaking his dick and losing the ability to procreate.
I totally agree! I cried when I saw that. Then I couldn’t believe it when the audience laughed! America died that day. The fight should have started right then. I’m feed up with ALL the political people that let it go on like this.
And it sure as hell should have ended the moment he incited an insurrection.
The asymmetry between Republicans and Democrats is gobsmacking: “Prices are too high, so Democrats must be voted out of office” but “Even though Trump incited an insurrection, let’s give him a second chance.”
My eight year old daughter has a speech impediment and stutters. Recently, a teacher at her school mocked my daughter, to her face for this. Thinking back to the incident you are referring to, I am sick to my stomach to imagine so many people justifying this. They should be ashamed.
It should have. But, it didn't. "Losers and suckers" should've been the end of it. But, it wasn't. His conviction should've been the end of it. But, it wasn't. He really is Teflon Don.
This would have been disqualifying in most countries but it actually appealed to a lot of people in MAGA - they enjoy others suffering and do not have empathy with anyone who is different to them and their idea of what a true American is
Even after the disgusting display in the oval office with President Zelensky his true colours on display some people still excuse and support him I cannot understand it myself but I guess psychopaths make up more of the general population than I thought.
people have short memories I don't understand it or they don't care what he does as they are getting what they think they are and not a kick up the backside. Which is what he is doing while they look the other way.
But then republicans are degenerates POS that should be all fed into a woodchipper feet first so now hes putin buttboy and hes running the US into the ground
Well, I agree. Unfortunately, his base can’t help themselves. They loving that kind of low blow stuff. They all used to be hooked on the Jerry Springer Show. Now they feel like they are part of the show.
Astonishing isn’t it? A grown man acting in that way. And people went “Yes, that’s presidential behavior” 🤦🏻♂️ how far and how fast we have fallen. We deserve this.

That's why symbols matter. You shatter one simple symbol of something that is not socially acceptable, like publicly mocking a disbaled person, and voilà, Russia has the keys to the White House.
MAGA don't mind mockery of others. Dissolution of DEI : sustains mockery of others non-white, unmale & displace them from hierarchy. Grasp but dimly spreading hate & disrespect rusts society to breaking point & robs them of defence from mockery. Only safe by loving (respecting ) their neighbour.
Representative Burlison’s staff told me this week that Trump would never be respectful like that. I told the kid, “There’s photos and videos. Look it up.”
This, this, and this has been my constant refrain sonce then as well. How you treat the least of us is how you will treat all of us. Someone should have punched him in the face in that moment. Thank you! This cannot be said enough.
I thought for sure that was going to be the end of him. I didn’t expect our country to be so disgustingly fascist, to let that orange tinted creature anywhere near the White House. Boy, was I wrong.
I had a friend (not friend now) argue that it was false. He wasn’t mocking - it’s his normal arm movements!! They can’t even see reality anymore! 🤦🏻♀️
And i still believe vets should have denounced him when he called McCain a loser. But they didn’t. The examples go on and on and on but they continue to support. Then again, I’ve never been in a cult
It should have ended the moment he stated he was running and hadn't apologized for the full page ad of the Central Park 5, or for Obama birther conspiracy, or for saying Mexicans are criminals and rapists. Not saying mocking the reporter wasn't extremely bad. Just that the other things were too.
It should have, but his base is rapture with the con man. As he said, it was good TV and back then, many people did not think he would win. No one believed the warnings. No one listened.
It all should have ended years ago when Veterans were posting,”WTF? You’ve been reading papers and know who he’s buddies with, right?”
That was in a period before the 2016 election. So for them, what’s happening now, they’ve dreaded for years longer than most, who are just getting it now.
And he mocked Zelenskyy in a very similar way just a few days ago. He's unfathomably ignorant, disrespectful and uncouth. tRump is indeed the king of turds.
I never even took him seriously since the 1980’s when we began to hear about this idiot in New York. And while I thought he wouldn’t even last til the primary’s, it was seeing him mock that reporter when I thought, “well now they will finally see what we’ve been seeing.”

Even harder now as he tries to tear down our democracy
Harder still as he tries to eliminate the department of education where my kids IEPs come from
None of this is ok

And so on . . .
But here we are. It's a coup!
I wonder how many tragedies Christianity has to cause throughout history before people realize it's a toxic belief system.
Still can't get past that actually.
BUT
We know longer live in AMERICA so
what does that say about ones EXPECTATIONS?:)
Or the moment Trump got caught bragging about his habit of sexually assaulting women.
The asymmetry between Republicans and Democrats is gobsmacking: “Prices are too high, so Democrats must be voted out of office” but “Even though Trump incited an insurrection, let’s give him a second chance.”
Such a dork!
Not just phone calls
Demand traitors arrested now.
Also Trump : "couldn't remember I said Zelensky was a dictator a few days ago..."
That was the able people should have rejected him.
But they supported him.

I had a disabled brother
I take great offense
Making fun of the disabled reporter was the big moment for me. It showed how much contempt he had for the office.
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

But when MAGAts laughed and the media explained it away- we headed down the slippery slope
To hell. Right where we are today

That's real Christianity in America
