Hope springs eternal and that’s how long it will be before we ever (if we ever) reach that moment - eternity. Every time I think this is it THIS is the thing but nope☹️ but I hope I’m wrong.
OK - but we’re talking about the guy who childishly retorted ‘are we going swimming?’ when asked if he would visit the crash site. One day in the future, the day this malevolent bastard drops dead will be a national holiday in whatever remains of this country.
A lot of people missed it and my quote is not 100% exact, due to the cross talk between him and reporters. Inappropriate remarks are a big indicator of dementia. He’s either a callous prick or in serious cognitive decline - perhaps both.
I feel you … but I’m talking about a live TV moment that his supporters can’t claim is fake news … well, I suppose the most ardent wouldn’t … but something so unhinged the politicians have no choice but to go “ewwwww” …
I would like that to happen in 2025, but we might not get it until 2029 when it's too late. I envision a lot more death, suffering, and bad outcomes. Until the bad outcomes are accepted as just the "price of freedom" or "price of having our savior Trump". And someone convinces America otherwise.
Most of his moments are like that, especially today about the DC plane crash. I too have hope the really big moment is coming but I don’t know if it can be much worse. Oh silly me, it can always be worse.
That moment has come & gone many, many times.
The answer is no, they do not.
What might still be brought to light however, is as they get their agenda implemented, it will force them to realize, they've been fascists way before Trump showed up.
They don't love America, they love unmitigated power.
Let's talk about this. I don't know about "naive." But haven't they already proven they aren't capable of shame? I know humans have the capacity to change, but it seems to me like this is a lost cause.
If it wasn't when he stood up on stage and mocked a man with physical disabilities *before he was elected the first time, then I don't think there will be. As long as he keeps stickin' it to the people they hate, they'll keep propping him up.
Not until he screws it up so bad the rich start losing money. Then the murdoches and bezos will turn the press on him. Their loyalty lies with their bank accounts
When you look at the R senators up for reelection in 2026, you’ll understand they only need to worry about getting through the primaries, not the general. There will be no heroes for us out of that bunch.
We can hope so. Much more likely is that some very small fraction of MAGAs vote differently after suffering the dire consequences of this regime with the rest of us.
Maybe if they’re starving on the street their children have been taken away because they can’t care for them. They’ve lost their home and job and they have no money and they’re about to die and maybe not even then.
He’s a narcissist. “Narcissists can feel shame and embarrassment. However, they often have difficulty acknowledging and dealing with these emotions due to their fragile self-esteem.”.
I know somewhere Howard Dean is dumbstruck that he let a single weird ass shriek tank his presidential ambitions while we now have a serial predator in chief - w in the actual f happened to the world 💔
A collective moment, and Dems have to be part of that. Not blaming people who change their minds and see what's going on--none of this "FAFO" stuff--none of this "NOW you say it".
A loud chorus, like when everyone finally turns the tables on a bully in a movie--a man-behind-the-curtain moment.
But there is no one with the integrity to confront Trump who mind you, might agree that he has no integrity. Does integrity get you rich? No? Then it is not needed
I’m afraid not. The GOP collectively and trump specifically have no moral compass, no soul that feels anguish. They only want power, at any cost. They don’t care that people are hurt or killed, it means nothing, they’re immune to suffering.
I feel this. I’ve grieved my parents who support him. Looking back, they only offered conditional love anyway and are the root cause of the problems I have today.
We are way beyond that. Our Democratic Republic has fallen and we are living in post constitutional America. They are proudly unashamed. Once you can acknowledge that you will have exchanged naivety for clarity.
Followed by, “We have irrefutable proof that Harris won the election, and Trump will be escorted out of the WH in handcuffs by the end of today.” Hey, a girl can dream, right?
Agreed because he is a sociopath who was groomed by a narcissist who in turn cheated & lied about his wealth and hid $$$$$$ in his children’s trust funds to avoid paying taxes! This is who he is! So true & very 😔 🫣🙃😳😵💫🥴😦
This moment isn’t about the guy himself. He isn’t chemically able to be reflective or admit anything other than what suits his narrative about himself. It is about a high level politician saying exactly that to his face. That’s the fantasy.
Normal people reached the “have you no shame” moment long ago; MAGA will never have such a moment. The things that should cause shame are badges of honor for them.
I do worry, though, that he will keep getting worse until someone shoots him. And that’s not going to be good for anyone.

We are doomed.

#AccountabilityIsBadForBusiness!
No, a psychopath has no shame!!!
From Dubya to the Hastert rule to McCain trashing his own legacy to McConnell saying he only wants to deny Obama to Trump 45 to Trump 47.
Your take isn't naïve—it's blind.
Aspirational
But the reality is he has no soul so he will never have that moment sadly
I did 25 years in newspapers, and while that doesn't make me an expert, I'm also a human being and how he never gets challenged is beyond me.
Reporter: How can you blame DEI without evidence
Trump: Because I have common sense
The answer is no, they do not.
What might still be brought to light however, is as they get their agenda implemented, it will force them to realize, they've been fascists way before Trump showed up.
They don't love America, they love unmitigated power.
And thats when I start losing that hope, because it shouldn't have to come to that.
Its a viscous cycle.
To answer the question, no.
Cults cult. QED.
No shame ever.
There will be no collective MAGA shame.
It's too late for that.
A loud chorus, like when everyone finally turns the tables on a bully in a movie--a man-behind-the-curtain moment.
This is the power grabs of power grabs.
Trump is a broken human, beyond redemption.
Trump always sees himself as being justified.
Sorry. Trump is incapable of shame.
At this point, only AOC could
pull it off. Republicans will never let her get close to Trump out of fear.
Like Neo, she is The One.
I do worry, though, that he will keep getting worse until someone shoots him. And that’s not going to be good for anyone.
Only a person who has discarded his or her humanity can destroy--or attempt to destroy--the humanity of others.
Guilt? Maybe. Shame? Never. Remember the Nazis.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
