President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Greg asks a pretty good question, actually. It's part of why Trump won't win.

 

Our hate makes us powerful, gives us focus.

There is a huge huge silent backlog of hate for Fatfuck that needs to be fully mobilized. People need to realize it is good, even admirable, to hate him. Too many people are still swayed by Sixties hippie-dippy bullshit, "nothing but love for everyone." He's the rich fat fucker who has fucked you over your whole life. Fuck him. All the way with a red hot poker.

 

I’ve never understood Democrats’ reluctance to crush the opposition. This could’ve been stopped if the tea baggers never got momentum. The tea baggers turned into the MAGGATs, by and large.

 

Don't let this be the face of our government. Ever. Again.

 

Hangover from the Peace and Love Sixties. It's considered shameful to hate anybody.

 

Kudos to all the Republicans in Iowa who are going to brave the snow and the cold to vote for a guy who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.

 

Thought-provoking piece here. Two big takeaways: a hollowed-out Republican Party (replaced in power by media and social media) easily succumbed to the Trump madness. He never would have been the nominee in the pre-primary age.

And GOP base voters hate democracy so much, they are of course unbothered by Trump's rabid attacks against it.

How Trump went from disgraced insurrectionist to GOP frontrunner

 

Wishful thinking or keen insight?

 

They hate democracy bc being white, male and Christian used to be what democracy was all about…

 

You need to go further back, to Gore rolling over with the Florida recount.
