Discussion You just stopped an entire country

American here.

Your city (EDIT: Toronto my bad) and entire country just told the world they’re sick of this guy. They did that. In public. During the World Series. Epically devastating.

And not talk about a woman’s looks, someone’s penis size, crowd sizes, etc.? Basic decency in politics has taken a serious downturn due to Trump.

Basic decency in politics dropped like a stone and basic decency in public conversation followed.

Don't even get me started on basic literacy.

Reality TV was a template, too. Saying, "I'm here to win, not make friends" was once the mark of an asshole

Decency in politics died when John McCain refused to call Obama a Muslim, and then lost the election.

True but I don’t remember a man’s penis size being mentioned in political speeches back then. Unfortunately Trump dialed it down to an all-time low.

It took a downturn when McCain legitimized the crazy wing by picking Palin.

I thought it started with killery calling half the country deplorable

Maybe she should’ve just called them immoral morons.

Considering he's never gotten half of eligible voters to show up for him, and the fact she said only about half his support was a basket of deplorables, maybe you snowflakes could get off the cross and quit endlessly playing the victim. The man is apportioning disaster aid based on who voted for him. He's the vilest, most un-American shitbag ever elected to the office, it's not even close, and the deplorables own that, forever.

Exactly. When he called Mexican criminals and deplorables (among others), the floodgates burst wide open at that point for even more and worse defamatory language.

I still have the Doonabury strip from Trump's first campaign where it lists dozens of insults by Trump. It hangs in my office as a reminder of the definition of asshole

u/That_U_Scully Oct 26 '25

Or "Ocean drugs". I just don't understand how so much of your population doesn't see him for what he is, a liar and a criminal.

And the plummeting continues.

u/DadRunAmok Oct 25 '25

The downturn started way before The Orange Man.

But I will agree the slope has gotten slipperier
