We have to take part of the blame. We let them do it. When are Dems going to stop believing Repubs will play fair and by the rules? The reason they win is becomes Dems are too PC and are goody-two-shoes. We need to toss our rose-colored glasses and stop bringing rubber knives to AK-15 gun fights.
I'm a lot ruder now in my super red area, like GTFO my way when they clog up aisles. I drive like whatever the hell now because if I get pulled over, I'm going to use the "we elected a convicted felon rapist as president, what do laws even mean anymore." Go to traffic court, repeat but for a judge.
If only the privlige trickled down to the rest of us. As much white privlige we have just by being white, they will surely enforce all the laws on our asses.
Right?! I want someone on record in a place of authority to admit about the tiered justice system. Just tell me that he can get away with it and that's totally cool but I, we the plebeians, can't.
I had a security clearance, would've been in jail, jan 6ers went to jail-say the quiet part out loud.
Exactly! I had a security clearance and had it stripped away for admitting to taking a hit off a joint like 5 years prior. Would love to see some laws apply to all equally.
I also think it has a lot to do with not shooting the original traitors during the civil war. I mean, it’s called for in the constitution, but whiteness. Hence, here we are…..
it was nevertheless the dumbest loophole in the history of mankind and now we're living with the consequences. Honestly...the founding fathers were not playing with a full deck.
Actually most do care. And it may be a generalization when it comes to a whole group of people but there are many in that group that are just that. And it isn’t like the far right don’t make generalizations about liberals, democrats and anyone slightly left and know it isn’t true about many.
It is political modelling. The perception of fascism is being fashioned by the mainstream media and an army of activists who just repeat certain phrases over and over again until they become truth in the public mind. Repetition is the most basic form of brainwashing.
Grand Old Party (Rep.) died a painful death back in 2015. Taken hostage first by a mad, yet idiotic, orange costal elite mobster each member fell one by one or fell silent lest they be picked out as the next victim.
Orange mobster replaced it with a crazy cabal: MAGA
RIP GOP.
Tru dat! America is supposed to be a nation of laws. Why do we have crook as its flag bearer? Make that make sense! $5 will get you $20 NYC won't issue any prison time. Not all are created equal according to the We B 6-3 LLC members of SCOTUS!
It conquered land with violence, fought for independence with violence, freed its slaves with violence, and defeated the Nazis with violence. I aggressively roll my eyes at anyone that talks about legality in regards to America because all that's ever mattered is supremacy of violence.
Is that supposed to make us feel better now that he is elected? My question is why didn't Biden and the Democrat congress fix this when they had the chance?
I am not sure that it's pure stupidity. It's a reflection of how TPB$ think about the rest of us, ie, we are as stupid as Trump is, but if you check the most current popular vote margin, only a little over 230K votes from 3 different states, those TPB$ are stupid & wrong about 50% of US Americans.
It is 💯 true. Many of the government's rules and norms don't have a lot of teeth because they rely on relatively decent people being elected. The GOP has devolved into a pack of jackals who don't give a shit about rules and norms because they know they can break them with impunity.
"The founding fathers never said he couldn't hold the office."
The "founding fathers" never thought we would become this stupid.
Idiocracy was never meant to be a guiding principle.
remember dumb meet dumber, Trump coming out of a bathroom, trailing behind him sticking to his shoeTiolet paper used to shine Trump's ego Thank who may get that jobs
We can’t just blame maga. The lack of action on the part of non-Maga Republicans (and Democrats!) all got us where we are today.
And they haven’t even rolled out the Christian nationalism yet.
But this post isn’t saying “we elected a felon, so felons shouldn’t be totally ostracised” it’s reinforcing the idea that felons are inherently lesser than.
Trump has novels of things to dunk on him for. Using felon is a choice to appeal to the pearl-clutching types
I disagree. The GOP was not stupid. They are smart enough to realize enough of us like and identify with Trump's outlook on life to say, "He;;, yeah. That's exactly how I feel too." and I want him to pave the way for my feelings to be actualized.
I posted this same meme and got trolled on Fbk like you would not believe. Maybe it should say “evil” or “morally lazy” instead of “stupid”? That was my troll’s complaint. I did not tell her John Cleese’s theory that if you’re really stupid you have no way of knowing it.
The founders literally could not conceive of a time when Americans would be stupid enough to overlook the improprieties of a convicted rapist and felon.
I’m a naturalized US citizen. I would have been rejected and possibly deported if I were a felon, drug or alcohol offender, burden to government or otherwise of poor character. I also could not be president because I was not born here.
But 45 is above the law and special !
Never expect traitors to nominate a traitor? I did. What I did not expect was non-treasonous leaders to uphold the leaders who attempted to overthrow the Constitution as fit to lead.
2nd Amendment: Hunters need guns. People feel safer with a gun & other reasons. People who get guns should have background checks & 1st time gun owners should be required to pass a safety course, and ALL should pass a safety test, both physical and written, before permit is issued.

Propagandist, insurrectionist and traitors, unfortunately that is the new Republican party, the maga party and a fascist party of America. I thought I would never say that, it's a damn shame, a shame.
But there is no reason to use phrases like "braindead" "idiots". If we want the country back on track then just share reality, and keep it matter of fact.
It would be wrong to say Trump is a brilliant candidate. He is a highly flawed candidate. But he does have good points,
and he is arguably less flawed than what the Dems have recently put up. Trump attacked the Constitution once, Harris over ten times. But they see Trump's flaws and not the flaws of their own candidates. #MT735
You would have thought the democrats would have held him accountable for his crimes while in power. Stealing top secret docs and sedation wasn't enough for them to grow a backbone but paying off a stripper was enough for the NY to prosecute. Lay blame where it belongs.
They are beholden to lobbyists and corporate donors. They don't focus on the needs of the voters. People are struggling financially and all they keep hearing about is how well the economy is doing. People don't care how much money the wealthy can hoard. Politicians are way out of touch.
We have the same with Labour government centrists in UK - the leader even said live in an interview that Israel has the right to war crimes. These things will never be forgotten or forgiven.
Our leaders also failed to uphold the Constitution. Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits former government officials from holding public office again if they have "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the United States government. He never should have been allowed to run again.
I'm telling you, girl. We have to put everything in writing.

Sign. Date. Initial here, here and here. Get a witness to sign it and a notary public.
We really need to pass a bill and grandfather it in like yesterday.
He also knew the brainwashed Republican base would vote for him.
Donald Trump denied he told People magazine in 1998: “If I were to run, I'd run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country."
As of Jan 2021, Trump had recorded 30,573 lies. His denial could be one of them.
In this house we believe in science, that Trump is a Nazi war criminal, that Elon should be in jail, that Kyle rittenhouse is a murderer, and that Tulsi Gabbard should go back to Russia

'Convicted Felon' sticks no matter where he goes.

My take on it today…

What makes Trump a fascist is his policy prescriptions, not the fact that he's violated the law

Sadly, that has put us on the road to Perdition.
They simply gave us too much credit

How do you feel about the 2nd amendment?
Kind of a fan...

We are no longer a country of rules and laws.
First, Trump is not a felon.
Second, if a felon did run, it would be because the PEOPLE are the ultimate arbiter, and if that is who they want, that is who they want.
It would be wrong to say Trump is a brilliant candidate. He is a highly flawed candidate. But he does have good points,
Everybody keeps saying the system held up, but did it?
what we never expected was for the democrats to be infiltrated by diet republicans who had zero interest in accountability for the monsters
the entirety of our leadership needs to go
except for maybe aoc
they let it get broke they own it
we knew the gop was bad from the start

What makes Trump a "Nazi war criminal"? Where is the evidence that Kyle Rittenhouse committed murder?
