They seem to turn a blind eye to many things as long as you have a (R) next to your name and promise to hurt the right people. Must have missed that bible verse

    I remember my father being so angry about Clinton that the veins in his neck and face were bulging. He thought Clinton should be hanged, at the time, for adultery and betraying the country.

    Now this fat orange fuck is worshiped. I will never understand how they fell for this. The moral compromise needed to support a clown show.

      they do whatever the ultra wealthy tell them to do.

      ideology is not a functional concept in politics. it’s all vibes and manipulation in the service of the 1%

        I mean, at a high level, I guess so. At human level where these are real people with relationships and thoughts and feelings, it is mind blowing.

        Some of them now approve of everything they stood against. Whatever the propaganda that got them there, it’s wild. These are people that I respected and thought had wisdom and they have fallen for such a shallow con.

        Many have referenced Nineteen Eighty-Four without reading it, and ironically then engaging in Doublethink.

      Clinton was in favor of abortion and women’s rights. As Trump is against both, he is ‘God working in mysterious ways’ and therefore should be seen as a sign of divine providence.

      I wish I was joking.

      They fell for nothing. This is the expression of their evil nature, full stop.

      If anything you’re falling for their act! Stop assuming decency or rational self interest is at work in the math they do, it isn’t.

        Oh good grief, of course they fell for it. Not that I don’t blame them for it. However, they absolutely fell for a con. To say otherwise is immature or unrealistic black and white thinking.

        I’m angry with them, will likely never trust or respect them again. They’re humans just like we are, they aren’t acting, they aren’t completely indecent, and so on.

        Just because the fascist side dehumanizes its enemies doesn’t mean we should. It’s also not very effective when you’re trying to predict what they’ll do and how they’ll react. You have to be able to understand the minds of your antagonists to effectively counter them.

        Many of these aren’t stupid people. That’s a cop out we tell ourselves to feel superior. Willful ignorance is closer to the truth.

    Rs have always united in their club. Matt gates hire prostitutes that cool. Obama has a tan suit they flip out.

    Michelle made a monkey noise talking with her daughter for laughs they proclaimed she’s unlady like. Meanwhile Melania has literally nudes and wears i dont care jackets.

    I could go on but we know conservatives are united with no standards. It’s a super power at this point compared to left side that demands perfection.

      They called Michelle Obama a man. I don’t know why that pisses me off. Like, there’s nothing wrong with being a transgender man or anything. But like, she’s not. She’s a proud and beautiful woman. The fact that their own base doesn’t turn their backs on them for that tells me enough about them.

        they didn’t call her a transgender man. they were insinuating she was a trans woman when they called her a man. deliberately “misgendering” her to be petty.

      If you are going to run a bland milquetoast status quote candidate every time, they have to be perfect to appeal to anyone. I can overlook a shady past if it promotes truly leftist causes.

        Hmm bland food or pile of trash. I think it’s an easy decision but evidence shows I am very much In the minority. Once the pile of trash has no chance of winning real progressives can split from the dems without getting torn apart for “splitting the votes” At the very least vote third party, the dnc chases voters. More third party votes will make them chase those voters. They keep going after gop folks cause they actually vote. Dumb strat I know but that’s seems to be reality.

    A guy that got his dick sucked behind his wife’s back is the devil incarnate but a guy that has been through multiple wives, paid a porn store to keep quiet, sexualized his daughter, and literally raped someone is the savior.

    Makes sense if your brain is scrambled I guess.

      I live in a right wing area. It’s not mental gymnastics. It’s propaganda. Trump does something completely horrible and the right wing Podcasters and news people spin it in a way that convinces these people it was all for a reason or that somehow it’s not true or something. They are being brainwashed. Its very disturbing because it just shows me that they can be convinced of anything as long as it supports Trump. Trump can literally do anything at this point and I think his people would convince everyone it’s all good or for the right reasons. That’s why I think ij the end if canada doesn’t back down and become the 51st state by choice, he will attack us.

      Like, Clinton did come on to one of his staffers. Ms. Lewinsky was very much wronged by him (though the American people and media may have done her worse), but for some fucking reason the thing that was bad about what he did was never the controversy. It’s clear they’re just mad he’s a democrat.

      Trump is utterly reprehensible, but hes their guy so he’s clearly a god king

      Indirectly. By affirming the old testament, Jesus of the Bible condemned the act of sodomy (the act perpetrated by the people of Sodom and Gomorrah).

        Could be fake disinformation but someone once told me that the “man lie with another man” is a mistranslation from the king James ver. and the original was that man should not lie with a child. I never fact checked it full disclosure

        Luckily, gay people don’t. Hard to get a penis in a vagina with either two penises or two vaginas.

    From a Pro-Bush, Anti-Clinton person I know, they have a bigger issue with Clinton lying about getting a blowjob then they do the blowjob itself. Well, that’s the mental gymnastics he tells himself. Trump was a bridge too far for this guy though.

    The GOP was rabidly attacking Clinton from Day One. Travelgate was supposed to be an impeachment level offense and we’re still hearing about the death of Vince Foster. If they’d shut up the Monica scandal might have taken him down, but years of crying wolf backfired.

    One of the tenants of right wing ideology is to use all your tools at your disposal, regardless of hypocrisy.

    To a right winger, it’s the leftist’s fault for impeaching Clinton even though he was on their team.
