"What about all the good things Hitler did?"

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago

We do not care about the major things Trump did right now. We want to focus on the... minor ones.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Okay then, yes Hitler brought Germany out of the depression but he also started a war that killed something like 80 million people and also kicked off a fucking genocide.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

It wasn't even Hitler that did it, the economic policies of the Weimar republic did and nazis took the credit

[–] BoJackHorseman@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Focusing on 80 million is antiseptic, can we focus on the 6 million tho

Dang, I feel old as heck reading that

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Vaguely understanding it made me feel not quite so old, and I'm firmly middle-aged.

Is this a confession? "Yea he may have willingly joined parties where people fiddled kids, he may even have done some himself. But he has also done great stuff (?) so that is fine."

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

"He DIDN'T diddle kids!!! He plasured fully consenting 12-16 year old women" - Literally a GOP talking point.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 4 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Problem is, he has legitimately not done even one great thing over both terms.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

He does one thing that Democrat candidates can't seem to grasp. he messages very simple and repeatable claims about things he has done, often not even relevant to politics, and constantly brags while using them. what did Biden do? idiots don't know, if he spent a lot more time using illiterate friendly words to repeatedly claim the things he's done in his life, including his play time on Minecraft, he would be president still. Trump also has to constantly correct his handlers on this too, they try and get him following the past tropes of running for president and then they're baffled when he edits the script to dog food for brains simple and just repeats himself constantly about what a great game of tennis he played once in the 70s, and he doesn't even have a pet dog.

You're just jealous because you've never shat your pants in the oval office. All the greats have done it. Elvis said he wanted to do it. And I did it folks, I did it. They said I wasn't gonna do it, but I did it. Sleepy Joe Biden couldn't do it, I did it. The democrats said it wasn't possible but I did it. I did it harder -you wouldn't believe- harder and noisier. They said it couldn't be done, can you believe it? They said it couldn't be done, but I did it. I did it. And they're saying, you know what they're saying? They're saying it's the most historical shart. I couldn't believe it. But they said it's the most historical. In history, folks. And it's funny, you know, they don't like to hear it! They don't like it. But I say America first. America first. And that's why I had to do it. That's why I had to do it. And they love it, really. They love it.

People genuinely admire the rich. I think some cultural norms/lessons with good intentions may have backfired and made it even worse. I remember being taught not to be jealous of others, not to compare myself to them, not to keep up with the Joneses, and that a person can do whatever they want if they put their mind to it and work hard.

Those might individually be good things for one to practice, and I am going to keep doing so.

But at the same time... those lessons are not supposed to be taken as bidirectional rules of nature! A good person doing those things does not imply that a billionaire is the rare individual that is 1000x visionary and hard working, 1000x not to be envied or judged, and 1000x deserving. Oh yeah, 1000x noble and not at all 1000x sociopathic or obsessed.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The really insane part is that the "really great things" he has done is be rich. The religion that the religious right actually worships and actively practices is "wealth and power". They have taken the mantra that "god will reward faithfulness" so thoroughly and seriously that they 100% believe that the fact that he is wealthy and powerful means that whatever he is doing is the right thing because otherwise God would not continue to reward him.
This is why they actively defend and encourage whatever he does, because God continues to reward him. If God doesn't punish him then whatever he is doing is what God wants. Even the child fucking is righteous because if it wasn't, then God would put a stop to it. And the victims deserve no mercy because they obviously are not loved by God or else they wouldn't be in a position to be victimized.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 2 points 19 hours ago

The irony, even if that God nonsense were true, God isloterwlly trying really fucking hard to punish him though all thrse human channels, very obviousky, the files, the trials, and his demon guardians proclaim he is righteous and the Idiot Cult laps it all up while claiming its "God protecting him" or some shit.

So, basically what it sounds like she's implying, is that Trump should be allowed to rape children, because of all the great things he's done?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago (6 children)

First, I want to hear this great list of great things this great president has done. I'll wait.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
  1. He said Daylight Savings Time should be ended
[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

He killed the penny without a plan for how it should be-- oh wait nevermind that's still a problem

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Be wealthy and powerful.
That's the full list. They have direct and immediate proof that God loves him or else he would not continue to be wealthy and powerful. So something like fucking kids and not being punished for it means that fucking kids is part of his reward and is righteous.

Republican psychological projection is like two black holes orbiting each other until one day they collide and merge.

Its now happening so quickly that their accusations are occurring in their own actions they're accusing others of (like Bondi deflecting by bitching and lying about deflecting).

Right after this he accused her of lying under oath. It was nice to see.

You have not answered the question.

PAM: bla.....

SHUT UP AND ANSWER THE QUESTION. And remember you are under oath.

PAM: Angry uhh...

Anyhing that comes out of your mouth, if it's not the answer - it is deflection, and henceforth garbage.

A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent:

"You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No."

He continued "Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No."

"Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No."

"But ya fuck one goat.."

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only thing that matters to his base is that he's a manifestation of their racism.

As long as he's doing what racists love, they won't mind if they came into their house and fucked their wifes and kids.

Few might get disgusted for a while, but hey, their prayer to not see any brown people at work tomorrow might get answered. So that's a win.
