Wait! I'm not with THEM! There's an unfortunately loud part of the country that is giving the GOP, conservatives, and Americans a bad name. This comm is for the rest of us, the quiet majority. If there is anything worth conserving, it's our values: Respect, Integrity, and Truth.

This comm is for the posting about US politics from a right, but not alt-right, perspective.

Rules:

  1. Treat each other with respect. Follow lemmy.today instance rules. Follow your instance rules.
  2. Social media posts must either include a timestamp in the image or be accompanied by a timestamp in the text of the post. Posts with an inaccurate or missing timestamp will be removed. Relative timestamp (e.g. "5 mins ago") will be removed.
  3. Only use high quality news sources. They all have bias, but quality and truth are a requirement. News articles must have a non-fictitious, non-anonymized byline. Fox is not a high quality news source.
  4. Don't post memes, but you can comment with them.

I'm glad we got rid of the old guy that did a bunch of shit to help average Americans and replaced him with another old guy who is a felon rapist and potential pedo who we already impeached twice and is only serving the interests of the grotesquely wealthy.

Looking reeeeeeal smart America.

Huge amounts of money are being spent to break the system.

This is all 2000 coming home to roost. We let the courts decide the election. That's what I'd write on the toe tag anyway

I don’t get why anyone would brag about their uncle teaching Ted Kaczynski. Like, what?

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Because Trump is a fame whore he has always loved any connection too Fame and celebrity even if it's infamy, it's still seen as cool to him.

Sociopathic malignant narcissist does not care about the downstream of anything only the viewpoint of the here and now.

I'm surprised he never claimed to have personally known the late, great Hannibal Lecter as much as he used to bring him up.

"He's a great, just a great doctor, very talented, very knowledgeable, many say, a lot of clever people, very clever people who know a lot, they say he's maybe the best mind doctor, the best, definitely, head-mending doctor, and I know, I know him, he's a great friend, and people say did I need a shrink, which is funny really, he said I have the greatest sanity, I'm more sane, than the sanest he's ever seen and, truly, he's a super clever guy, smart, real smart, a lot of people say so, and I didn't need to see him but we're just friends, we have dinner together and did I mention he's such a good cook, I mean Michelin stars, this guy should have Goodyear stars, right, buy American, but anyway, he cooks so good and he said I have the best mental balance of anyone he's ever met and he knows, he knows, I mean he's the expert in... in... expert in... expert...covfefe."

Trump does sound like somebody who is talking while his own brain is being fed to him.

He also bragged that he owned the tallest building in New York after 9/11.

He's a felon rapist, potential child fucker, and all around trashcan of a human being.

And conservatives identify with him.

[–] UnwittingSenior@lemmy.today -2 points 11 hours ago

Watch your last line there. This community exists because conservative comms already on Lemmy didn't represent me and my beliefs. I also believe Trump is all those things. I see a lot of my party mates drinking the MAGA KoolAid but I am not alone.

Same stream of consciousness rambling that old senile fuckers always do.

"When I was a young man, snickers were a nickel and people minded their own damn business! When somone beat their child, you said, 'Good for them! That'll teach 'em!'. And when they got a little too handsy with their daughter's little friends you looked the other way and pray for them because he was a deacon at the church. Cary Grant once came to town and took a shit in the Piggly Wiggly restroom down the street. I used to play Eucre with Reagan's third cousin, and that bastard cheated every damn time... what year is it?"

Typical dementia induced rambling. No point trying to make sense of it.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Because Americans love this shit. You're talking about the "late great Hannibal Lecter" guy who said that during the election and still won.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 50 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Symptoms of dementia flare up under stress.

Looks like the Epstein scandal is really getting to him.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 53 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

LoL He has TDS!

-People who've been to 50 Trump Rallies and Counting!

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 33 points 15 hours ago

Trump Dementia Syndrome. It's like regular dementia but more racist and rapey.

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 33 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

There'd be republitards screeching from the rooftops. If it weren't for hypocrisy conservatives wouldn't haven't anything except for being on epsteins list

  • Delivered a Rambling Speech

  • Falsely asserted some random trivia that's easily disproven with even cursory background research

  • Completely forgot the names / positions of key staffers in his administration

  • Concerns about senility

Truly, imagine if Biden had fallen victim to any of these. Doubt he would have survived re-election.

[–] UnwittingSenior@lemmy.today 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Trump did these things in 2016 as well and here we are

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Sure. And then Hillary tripped stepping off a plane, ordered pizza like a pedophile, and pissed off half the Midwest by defending NAFTA.

Even then, so much of this just boils down to which media you're consuming. Jon Stewart is slightly more critical of Donald Trump than Ben Garrison. Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity spend 25 hours every day screaming "The Migrants Are Coming! The Migrants are Coming!" while The Economist mostly wants to talk about how cool it is that people want to move here.

Look at the NYC Mayoral Race. Every newspaper in the country was running "Mamdani Did 9/11" tier headlines for months, but he still won in a landslide with a base that tuned them out and just followed him on Instagram.

A lot of these critiques are superficial and ultimately forgivable when the candidate in question champions policies you support.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I mean, Biden's, "Corn Pop," speech happened in 2019 and he was still elected. I'm not trying to say they're the same morally (or even in terms of competency), but if the point is, "Can you imagine if Democrats elected a rambling, senile old man," well...yeah, I can.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 14 points 15 hours ago

He’s so angry lately. This could be indicative of the descent into Alzheimer’s. We will never know.

How long did it take for Reagan’s Alzheimer’s to be officially publicized?

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 0 points 12 hours ago

So they said firehose of propaganda but like I wasn't picturing diarrhea. Just a stream of it in your face.
