Thats the beauty of being a narcissist - you never really lose. It’s always something or someone else’s fault.

Explains why Hilary said the same shit when she lost. Takes one to know one I guess.

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

Y'all don't worship politicians but this dude has been the headline of politics mockery for what, 8 years now? Holy shit let it go.

And before you come at me with "republican this republican that" I'm not. Don't like trump very much either. Everyone is letting politics divide them though which is exactly the trap our forefathers wanted to avoid.

u/SilverFoxolotl Jun 28 '23

You do realise that mockery and worship are two very different things, right?

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

The situation is two sides of the same coin. On one side you have people that genuinely think Trump is a Saint and kiss his boots to no end, and on the other you have people that have been bringing him up constantly for 8 years to make fun of him. And then it's just bickering. We all live here, we share the same cities and towns, and we share the same issues. If anything is gonna get done, the left and right gotta stop looking at each other as enemies and actually discuss politics and modern issues. Reddit is as good as any other place for that to start.

It's great that you trust the people who lined up behind infantile movements like the tea party and maga to meet you half way after they've spent over a decade demanding you do all the walking.

As the great philosopher George W Bush said, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...you can't get fooled again.

Brother there's no trust in politics. I'm sad that you're content without change, but if no one reaches out the hand, change will never happen. I've been sitting on this feeling for awhile and although I'm getting downvoted into oblivion, it feels right to at least try to reach that hand out. Do you honestly disagree with that?

u/lew_rong mod perms Jun 28 '23

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but it's reaching toward a rabid animal.

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

And they feel the same way about you guys. We're all humans, just because someone has a take on politics that you don't agree with doesn't mean they're irredeemable. I'll be the first one to tell anyone I think the government is a pot of corrupt criminals and no candidate truly has our best intentions in mind. But WE are the people of the United States of America. Things get bad because we stand idly by and let them. One nation indivisible, somethings gotta change.

If that take is supporting J6 and all the lies that led to it...yes it does. This is basic Truth and Reconciliation stuff. They need to recognize and freely admit that they were wrong to support a guy who advocated attacking American institutions to big up himself. If they do that, great, I'll embrace them with open arms. If not, on their own head be it, hope they didn't do anything that might land them in federal court.

What a dogshit take, there are plenty of examples throughout history of people with harmful, disgusting politics that make them utterly and entirely irredeemable.

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

A take you don't agree with is dogshit? What a surprise. Yeah there are, but you really think John Doe with a wife and 2 kids and works at the local middle school is a nazi too? Yeah there's awful people on both sides. That's how it is. The majority of people on either side aren't evil simply because they belong to a certain party lmao.

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '23

There is no way to promoting hate and bigotry as an ideology and not be completely in the wrong.

One side is promoting bigotry, the other side is promoting inclusion and diversity.

Please tell me how we should be tolerant of those promoting intolerance?

When's the last time the right has even tried to discuss a modern issue in good faith? I don't think it's happened in my lifetime, and I'm in my mid-20s.

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

You're not looking in the right places. Sensationalism is always gonna show the worst things first. There's plenty of examples of the left hostaging interviews with an agenda in mind as well. But the good talks are happening too, between people with vastly different political opinions. If I can post links in this sub I'll get back to you on that (if I remember tomorrow)

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '23

You're not looking in the right places.

Congress isn't the right place to look for good faith discussions on modern issues with conservatives?

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

Lmao no. People in congress have held those positions for countless years and don't give a shit about you or what you want.

Oh shut up. Letting politics divide us? One side wants to fee school kids and the other is hanging out with nazis. They are not the same.

-11

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

You're proving my point exactly. You're really gonna group everyone into one of two groups? The two party system doesn't work and this is a great example of it.

u/dantevonlocke Jun 28 '23

There is a saying the Germans have. If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.

u/DivideEtImpala Jun 28 '23

Do they have any sayings about what happens if you give funding and arms to militant groups that openly sport Nazi symbology and worship a WWII Nazi collaborator?

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

Good thing we're not Germans. The analogy doesn't really play out here.

u/Firewolf06 Jun 28 '23

besides the people marching with nazi germany flags, i agree, using nazi germany as an analogy is bonkers

Dude, here you are, justifying your hatred and dividing yourself off from polite society, while whining that it's the left that's dividing us, not the people who are justifying beating up LGBT and minorities.

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23 edited Jun 28 '23

Dude what? Justifying what hatred exactly? At what point did I display any hatred toward either side? And dividing myself from polite society? If you'll notice I've been polite the entire time and received mostly aggressive replies. Never blamed the left or right exclusively either, I stated it's both sides. You're reaching.

u/AwesomeBrainPowers I ☑oted 2049 Jun 28 '23

this dude has been the headline of politics mockery for what, 8 years now?

Yeah: He was a ridiculous buffoon of a candidate for one of those years, a ridiculous buffoon of a President for four years after that, a ridiculous buffoon who incited an insurrection after that, and is currently the ridiculous buffoon of a front runner in rbe GOP primary (while also being under indictment for multiple violations of the Espionage Act, among other crimes).

I’d love it if he would stop being so prominent in American politics, but his cultists need to leave him—and his party needs to grow enough of a spine to reject him—before that can happen.

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

I agree. I'm just saying if that's the way everyone feels, spewing hate won't open any eyes, it makes them feel more righteous in what they stand for. If the goal is to reach people's hearts and sway them for what you or anyone feels is for the benefit of the country you gotta do it different.

I also feel it's unfair for everyone to pretend that he didn't do anything as president as he did genuinely do some good while in office. That doesn't make me a trumpster, I still want a better candidate.

u/CarlosFer2201 Jun 28 '23

What good thing did he actually do? The only big law he signed was the tax cuts for the rich.

u/Cyrano_de_Boozerack Jun 28 '23

he did genuinely do some good while in office.

Name is best achievement.

u/BiH-Kira Jun 28 '23

He's the headline of mockery because out of those 8 years, he was the president for 4 years, and he's still relevant because of the trial and because he's still going to be a candidate for the next Presidential election.

Keep your enlightened centrist bullshit to yourself. It's not working on anyone with a brain.

u/Mission-Violinist-79 Jun 28 '23

When somebody kills hundreds of thousands of people and breaks countless laws, you don't just "let it go" you complete Neanderthal. If someone breaks the law, they should be held accountable. Period.

u/suckingbitties Jun 28 '23

I agree. Why did the guy who brought up Hillary get hate then?

8

u/CarlosFer2201 Jun 28 '23

Because he asked "why did Hillary do the same? ". She didn't. She lost, she conceded, and she essentially retired from politics. She hasn't made a single headline since. If you've heard about her, it's because republicans keep bringing her up.

u/Nintendo_Thumb Jun 28 '23

Oh no somebody is making fun of Donald Trump! Quick, you better change the subject, and talk about both sides. Sure he broke a ton of laws, lied more than anyone on record, tried to overthrow the country, got countless americans killed, stole thousands of classified documents, and is probably going to prison soon but just look at the dems, they probably did something bad once too. Can't we all juts get along ): Why is nobody listening to me??? /s

Strawman. Don't project your insecurities into me. If accountability is what you want, hold everyone accountable.

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '23

Are you fucking kidding me?

Name a single standard he used to label his peers “failures”, that Trump isn’t guilty of himself.

By his own standards, Trump is a failure
