When has Trump ever said anything remotely like this?
Heâs a classic manipulator. Honesty isnât a concept that exists in his mind.
Iâm in a pretty dark place and rooting for the leopard to eat the faces of all those who voted Trump
To the 60% of Latino men whoâs attitude was I got mine so fuck everyone else? Fuck you! Trump wants to give police qualified immunity and it wouldnât surprise me if stop and frisk becomes constitutional. I hope you get harassed every fucking day and caught doing something illegal
To the 52% of white women, if you find yourself needing abortion healthcare and canât get it, donât look to me for sympathy. I wish no harm to a female loved one, but you absolutely deserve to know what itâs like to lose a child or grandchild due to your stupid decision
To the poor who voted Trump thinking he will magically be better. If you lose your job or house due to his handling of the economy. Good. Fuck all you too!
And to all the rich white guys who wonât be impacted no matter what, gg I guess. You win!
Might be a bit harsh. Iâll see if I come around after this all marinates for a bit
I can relate. I want to lash out also. I think focusing on the good in our own lives and trying to ignore this shit is the best and most healthy thing to do for now.
This is an interesting way to think about. I think thereâs something to it. But people did arguably vote for harm mitigation with inflation and covid and the financial crisis.
Seems like itâs more âavoiding future harmsâ and the âlesser of two evilsâ concept that people struggle with. More reason for democrats to make sure they are offering something tangible.
big daddy going to turn the dial down on prices EXCEPT for the one thing that I personally happen to be selling, which is just a really weird coincidence
I mean, if you can get people to believe this, you canât be beat, period, the end.
I agree 100%. Bernie was expected to lose but instead he almost took down Hillary despite being attacked by both sides because he was passionate and people knew that he meant what he said. Thatâs trust, and that garners respect. And thatâs what people wanted - regardless of whether they agreed with his policies or not.
I never understood why some here vowed againts Kamala going on Rogan. Like I said on 22, nobody is interested in listening to a candidate speak regurgitated talking points in front of a bunch paid employees to whistle and clap at all the right times or talk on a scripted format on the View to a bunch on democratic shills. She had an opportunity to talk to about 50 million people off the cuff but decided against it because too many of them arenât aligned with her? Thatâs literally how you get votes. Bernie did it and it was a huge boost to him.
Kamala not going on Rogan was a massive own goal especially when the entire right wing kamala narrative was that she couldnât do unscripted and was a dum dum.
I guess, but thatâs not really how people work. People assign their allegiance, and then back-calculate that their guy will give them all the contradictory things they want.
K ignoring Rogan is much more of a symptom than a cause. It wouldnât have made a huge difference but regardless she wasnât going on that podcast given all the previous decisions (who was advising her, running the campaign, etc). Itâs like saying you donât understand flat earthers - they didnât become flat earthers in a vacuum, there are years upon years of events that lead up to that.
I think she should have gone on Rogan, but donât think it really matters, there was always a very good chance she made one misstep in the interview that would be a sound bite for right wingers and that would be the only takeaway from the entire interview.
You donât build coalitions by kicking LGBT people off the bus.
Câmon, they would be saying that (and it would stick) no matter how well the interview went.
Even if Harris goes on Rogan, Rogan still endorses Trump. Roganâs toxic masculinity would not allow him to endorse a woman for president. Not with the audience he has. At best, he would have both sided it and said âI still have to go with Trump.â
Imagine being this ass deep into politics and just discovering this now.
After this election, Iâm having doubts HRC wins in 2016 if not for Comey.
She would have likely made several missteps but who gives shit. Fox would have run their soundbites anyway, but she isnât going to lose any votes form that crowd, and dems could run whatever sound bites they wanted.
We obviously donât know how many votes she gets from going on there but itâs still another missed opportunity to some degree to tap into a group that big and try to change a few minds. Or you can just continue to solidify your base and bleed votes. That will do it.
The only lesson to learn here is to be nice to billionaires with unlimited access to peopleâs lives.
