The Democrats were been so certain it was they nominated an black asian woman. I like Harris but obviously rednecks aren't ready for that.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

It wasn't the rednecks that decided not to have a primary and run a man so senile they made Trump look lucid.

Because sadly, the attitudes and views of people making up Jan 6 are shared by a large proportion of the US population, even if they would not have participated given the means/opportunity.

Jan 6 is viewed by them with analogous sentiment to how the left views civil disobedience for civil rights movements, regardless of the substance/justice of the event.

If the pussy grabbing thing wasn't, nothing ever will be.

Or the making fun of the disabled news reporter. Or the not renting to black people, or the using a charity as his personal piggy bank. I'm sure the list goes on and on

Or trying to have 5 young brown children executed for a crime they were later proven to have not committed.

Honestly the racism I (sadly) understand. But to see the support for him not only continue but increase after violently trying to overthrow the government was truly a shock. For a brief moment it looked like he lost the support of Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham among other "traditional" Republicans but within days it was back to business as usual.

Of course everybody with two functioning brain cells knew from the start that this fucker is spectacularly unqualified. But when this came out, it was very plain to see for everybody that all the values "conservatives" claimed to stand for meant absolutely nothing to him.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 58 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I've repeated this many times.

After the 'pussy' tape came out, a Conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Trump. One of the other women on the panel kept repeating 'pussy' over and over. Finally the Conservative woman demand that the other panelist stop using that vulgar term.

I disagree (with the title but agree with you the post), Jan 6th should truly be the dealbreaker. Why? Cause it’s not even politics, it’s simple rules of games.

If you can’t accept when you lose, you don’t get to play anymore.

They had 4 years to jail him over treason and they didn’t. I said it before and I’ll say it again, Biden should have jailed him for Jan 6th.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Biden should have had him and the rest of the isurrectionists executed for trying to overthrow throw democracy. Jailing them just changes their platform for inciting rebellion.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

All the trumpers would have risen up to do violence, but fuck it: execute them, too.

I'll never understand how Biden just let that go. He should have made it impossible for Trump or any of the other criminals from the previous administration to participate in politics again.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

A legacy of cordiality and decorum that allowed fascism back in.

Why would people think it was a big deal when the entire news media played it down, and then the guy who did it was allowed to run for the highest political office again.

Because, for his supporters, anything but them getting their own way is an injustice.

I don't understand why AIPAC, Citizens United, exorbitant health care and education costs, tax rates for the rich, slavery in prisons, and every other goddamned ridiculous thing that other first world countries don't have wasn't a deal breaker.

Look, all you have to do is accept my one and only axiom: Most people on this planet are total and absolute idiots.

There are Americans that believe Trump has never lied. Like ever. About anything. He is truth. Some Americans actually believe this.

Mine was George Floyd. When I saw so many people stand up and say that man deserved death over a bounced check I knew they lost their damn mind.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

The idea that death is an acceptable outcome from being suspected of any minor infraction underpins the conversation around basically every police killing, with every single person on the side justifying it being tacitly accepting of that premise.

It's lunacy.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

A few years after 9-11 for me. I grew up watching my classmates sing songs about indiscriminately bombing people in Afghanistan, and news reports of people being beaten or killed in the US for wearing any clothing that appeared Middle-Eastern. It made me sick to my stomach.

"those people are ignorant"

-My conservative mother, pretending Trump didn't work tirelessly for years enraging them, tell them to do exactly what they did, and then gleefully watch for 2 hours while they did it.

In other words, she thinks trump had nothing to do with it, as laughable as that is.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Perception is reality.

Control news, social media, and church and you can distort/gaslight reality.

Only the better educated can sometimes see through bullshit.

The second I saw he was running the first time, I knew it was going to be a disaster. Maybe I couldn't appreciate just how much of a disaster it would be though

January 6 gave the Nazis hope and basically exposed how easy it is to topple the government if they have law enforcement on their side.
