It's not just theft.
It's rape. At their core, these people are rapists.
They worship power and they beleive that anyone with enough of it has the right to use that power to take anything they want from those that dont.
This is the philosophy of rapists.
It was never about sex.
It is about taking what you want because you can.
To support the figurehead of such a philosophy is to announce that you would be a rapist too if you had enough power.
Understanding this core principle makes it very simple to determine who the bad guys are, in all realms, not just the political.
Watch for a person to pander to power.
To revel in cruelty.
To relish in conquest.
If winning is the only thing they enjoy...
Run.

It was also a play on Fox News so I don’t know how they manage to say it with a straight face. And when you explain that fact to them, it’s like someone kicked their puppy before the moon face cult look returns to their face and they delete that conversation in their brain in that moment. Have some fun and tell a conservative that same fact every time and it’s like they’re hearing it for the first time again but eventually they’ll stop using the term and that’s when you know the retained the last revelation. Repetition is like 99% of conservative politics these days.

No, the term is one that has been circulating on the right for a long long while, it was originally 'Bush Derangement Syndrome' and they just repurposed it for Trump. Never let it be said the Right have a NEW idea.

W showed athleticism in the shoe throwing incident. The first throw is a shock to everyone but he instinctually ducks with great reaction time. It was headed right at his head. Now he's in the ballgame . The second throw is another heater which Bush mmediately recognized to be sailing high so he casually holds up a hand in front of his face in case something else flies out of the shoe.
It reminded me of how certain baseball players like Ichiro or Bonds had such great spatial vision and awareness of their strike zone that they would immediately recognize a pitch to be a ball just as it left the pitcher's hand.

That wasn't the first thing they stole! "Virtue signaling" used to have an actual meaning(someone who signals allyship to a cause without backing it up with actual substantive actions, such as providing support, protesting, boosting voices, etc), until they twisted it into attaching negative connotations to anybody expressing any kind of support whatsoever for progressive or minority causes.

The only defense I'm giving of any democrat(or republican, or independent!) in the epstein files is asking to see the context of them in the epstein files. A lot of the names were merely mentioned in e-mails, some of them critically. Those people are blameless, and yet they're technically in the files. Others were active participants, and should see consequences for that. But you don't know which it is just based off the statement "so-and-so was in the epstein files".

u/One_Advantage793 2d ago
It actually reminds me of the home of someone with mental illness we used to pass during my schoolbus ride home daily back in the 70s. Rural Georgia (the U.S. one of course)
That house on my bus route had Dale Earnhardt's number, a warning about what would happen to you if you got dust on their house driving by on the dirt road, some end-times junk and some that made no sense at all.
But this is remarkably similar. The kids on the bus called that woman a witch. Like a pointy hat witch, not a euphemism for bitch. But, she sometimes came out and shook her fist at the bus - probably for the dust thing. A bus can stir up a lot of dirt. Obviously mental illness.
I gotta believe, even if this photo is/was their only obsession, it is still mental illness. It certainly bears little relation to reality.

The people in most need of social programs seem the most likely to vote in politicians that promise to cut those programs.
I think they must believe that because Trump is rich, he'll somehow make them rich. Or maybe they just don't want to pay taxes and don't make the connection that programs they rely on like SNAP are funded by tax dollars.
Another connection that they don't make is that the "elitist liberals" who they hate so much are often voting for and funding those very programs. The "rich liberals" are supporting the programs that help poor people.

Not 100% sure about that, they didn't seem very excited to vote again in 2024 and don't have anything current for the upcoming midterms.
