US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Seething Troon Collector]

Democrats are nothing but contradictions pretending to be people.

The biggest contradiction is this ‘economic crash that happened when Donald Drumpf was president REEEEEEEEEEEE’

These fucking insufferable faggots were the ones going, ‘oh no, gotta shut your business down because of COVID’, ‘oh no, COVID, better force everyone to stay home and not go to work’, ‘oh no, COVID, NOBODY SHOULD GO ANYWHERE OR DO ANYTHING JUST STAY IN YOUR POD FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, CATTLE’.

For some reason, the Dow Jones doesn’t like that and we had a few weeks where we were hitting circuit breakers daily and the markets tanked, sometimes 10% a day.

Yet here we are, four years later, and a bunch of deranged lunatics are trying to make it out to be Trump’s fault because he was in office at the time.

Yet point out the current horrible numbers happening on Joey's watch, and they'll either deny it or say that's all somehow Trump's fault too.

Remember, any economic upswing during a Dem’s presidency is entirely his doing, any economic downturn is the last guy‘s fault.

Everything is Trumps fault in their eyes, inflation, Trump, housing insecurity Trump, ballooning deficits, Trump, the prologue to WWIII, trump.

The party will distort any facts, misrepresent any information, minimize or outright censor any counterpoint or contradiction, just to score a political win against Trump and the ultra MAGA, alt-right, literal heccin NAZIS, led by none other than that convicted felon and serial Epstein island visitor, Donald J. Trump, they very spawn of satan himself!

It’s all so very tiring.

Hating ghetto hoodrats and their antisocial destructive behavior and believing that society should enforce against such things =/= thinking blacks are subhuman or that you should have a white-dominated ethnostate and reimpose Jim Crow.

Remember, a nigger is not a race, but a state of mind.

Its incredibly blackpilling to see people still think this

Yea man its just a state of mind good luck with that

 

[George Lucas]

Maybe both can be true? Consider Ethiopia vs Somalia, ROC vs. PRC, Greece vs. Turkey, Ukraine vs. Russia.

Same or similar groups of people, roughly the same cultures (from an outsider’s pov). very different results.

"State of Mind" is the right's equivalent of "Socioeconomic Conditions"

Am I misremembering or wasn't there also something called BlueAnon? Like an actual 'Q, but for the left'? I don't remember much other than reading/hearing about it occasionally but I do recall that specifically.

That is the better pejorative for this phenomenon, yes.
Did they ever circulate around some anonymous "Trust the Plan" imageboard poster a la the Qboomers? I don't think so. I think it's just mocking lefties for engaging in the same desperate rationalizations upon encountering uncomfortable news.

 

[Overly Serious]

"Project 2025" is not "Q-Anon for the left" because the purpose of Q-Anon was to defuse the will of people on the Right from actually acting. Much like 'Operation Trust' which was a soviet scheme to cause inaction by Western powers, in which soviets pretending to be part of a counter-movement kept sending messages back saying to wait, that acting now would be too soon, be patient, be ready when we give the signal, etc.

Q-Anon was the same thing: yes, you're seeing all this corruption, fraud, etc. but trust the plan, we will give the signal, don't tip your hand, don't give them the excuse to crack down, be ready when we give the signal. Etc.

The consequences of both were to allow the consolidation of power by your opponents and prevent actual uncontrolled resistance movements forming.

In bid for young voters, Democrats offer social media influencers access to August convention

On the "influencer" topic...

Republican convention to host influencers in pitch to younger voters

The Republican National Convention plans to host more than 70 influencers as part of a content creator program to help the party make inroads with younger voters, who historically tend to vote for Democrats.

The content creators will have full convention credentials and will be given access to Trump campaign officials, delegates and other Republicans attending the event in Milwaukee, where next week the GOP will formally nominate former president Donald Trump as their candidate. They also will have a creator workspace where they can film TikTok videos and other social content, according to Brilyn Hollyhand, 18, the chair of the RNC Youth Advisory Council who spearheaded the effort.

“We have the first convention. We want to make sure that the youth vote has a presence,” said Hollyhand. Republicans are also planning a gathering of the leaders of young-voter conservative groups during the convention to coordinate efforts to elect Trump for a second term, Hollyhand said.

As president, Trump in 2020 issued an executive order to ban TikTok if its Chinese parent company did not sell it within 45 days, but the order was later blocked in court. He has since changed positions and said that he would not ban the app if elected again. Trump joined the platform in June, quickly amassing more than 7 million followers.

The participating creators run a mix of political and nonpolitical accounts, according to a person familiar with the guest list who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal plans. They include Keith and Kevin Hodge, conservative comedians known as the “Hodgetwins”; Mikel Simmons from Bravo’s “Southern Hospitality”; model and pistol shooter Jamie Villamor; YouTube gaming account Geeks + Gamers; and social media personality Emily Austin.

Young voters ages 18 to 29 were key to Joe Biden’s win in 2020, backing him over Trump by a 25-point margin. But enthusiasm among the group has waned significantly since four years ago. Around a third of adults ages 18 to 29 say they regularly get news on TikTok, according to Pew Research Center.

The Democratic National Convention Committee announced similar plans last month. The DNCC for the first time will credential content creators to provide influencers the same level of access and information that traditional media outlets receive at the convention. Those approved will get assistance connecting with surrogates and VIP attendees and entry to a creator correspondent studio space.

Between January 2023 and the end of April 2024, there were roughly twice as many pro-Trump posts as pro-Biden posts on TikTok, according to a TikTok official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal metrics.

The RNC partnered with influencers at the primary debate in Milwaukee last summer, inviting 16 influencers for a behind-the-scenes tour and meetings with then-candidates Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-N.D.), both of whom are now in the running to serve as Trump’s vice president. Hollyhand said he pitched the influencer idea for the convention to RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and Lara Trump, the co-chair, in January, and that they first met with creators about the idea in February.

That's literally exactly what they did with Bush. And McCain. And probably Romney, and Reagan, and Dole, I just don't remember.

It's their playbook: "The GOP candidate is literally Hitler! If he's elected, he'll kill all the gays! All he cares about are the rich and making money!! He's an evil, free-market capitalist, ewww!!!! And he's secretly working for Russia/North Korea/Iran!!!

"Also, he's an incompetent idiot who can't talk and he's actually a closet gay who likes to make out with dudes, yuck! He's not respected by foreign leaders!! He wants to put sanctions on Russia/North Korea/Iran!!! He'll destroy our foreign relations with those great nations and destroy our economy!!!"

Democrats are nothing but contradictions pretending to be people. Ask a Democrat her opinions on Abortion, the Death Penalty, and Veganism some time, and you'll have an aneurism trying to make sense of her responses.

It's why I groan whenever I see them try to criticize Trump.

There absolutely was: it was a trending topic on Twitter a few years back, and the pajeet trannies deliberately removed it as a trending term and shadowbanned any tweets about it. This of course was before Musk took over. Google allegedly neutered any search results for it because it was picking up traction on Urban Dictionary, too.

I'm almost positive Tim Pool or TheQuartering covered this. This was circa 2021 or so.

BlueAnon: The Truth Impends

Barrack Hussein Obama made a satisfied "HNNNNNGGGGG!!!!" as he shoved the third boiled footlong frankfurter into his hungry brown hole. The Quickening was at hand! A giant gay rainbow appeared in the sky. Hillary was there, and Big Mike, too! Then Biden woke up in the nursing home and it turns out Obama was really the president all along. Chip in $20.24 for Scranton Joe today.

Now, you wish to know the truth about BlueAnon, you say? That means you're finally ready to learn the Power of Black Girl Magic:


Sparkling negro machine-elves (visible under the influence of DMT) function at the subatomic level to ensure that the moral arc of the universe continues to bend toward justice:



"With hats of cone,
Africa our home,
We shall vote
for Joe alone."

Shazam! Joe Biden just got re-elected with 92% of the vote with 110% turnout!!



Bongos bang, the People dance
Let's give Joe another chance!

Reminds me of the time when one of the folks at CNN fear mongered about COVID when Trump tweeted to not give into fear because of it spreading

Let's not forget every left wing person lambasting Trump for wanting to restrict travel from China during the start of the scamdemic. How many of them encouraged people to go to Chinese New year celebrations?

 

[Jaimas]

That's why I said they should quit worrying about "name recognition" and just grab some nobody. There's just 4 months left, that's not really enough time for a nobody to become known, it's as close as you can get to running a "Generic Democrat". Just pick some Dem governor no-one's ever heard of, and have them campaign on the usual centrist platitudes and "I'm not Trump" type ads. The less people know about the actual candidate, the better.

That's their best possible option now in terms of actually beating Trump (aside from fraud, of course).

But it'll never happen, because the Dems are in too much of a purity spiral to ever pick a nobody they can't use to pander to some faction of the party. And if the rando still lost, and they probably would, the DNC would get all the heat for not picking someone more famous or a minority, etc. So they'll never set themselves up for taking the blame like that. It's safer for them to just let Biden fuck up and toss him aside after the election, and try again in 2028 with Newsom.

They won't because none of the randos want to commit political suicide by being the sacrificial lamb for an administration that will happily treat them as Harris 2.0 once the dust settles. You get absolutely nothing of substance for winning (you're expected to be the party stooge and do what the establishment movers and shakers want) and losing basically ends your political aspirations.

Would you rather eat shit or drink piss? Because that's what's being offered if you're being offered candidacy by these fucks.

what if you were disillusioned with the party and were offered a generous payout if you lose the election that can be used to exit the field and buy a farm upstate, or you plan to use your EOs to cause chaos if you were elected?

This is very gay but at least they’re trying and selected some names that aren’t bad. I’m not a Geeks + Gamers fan, but I do come across them tangentially when they’re on other shows. There are a lot of politically disaffected people out there who don’t care about voting but do watch 3 hour livestream reviews making fun of Disney slop, and it’s not a terrible idea to bring in those people via the YouTubers they watch—as long as it doesn’t feel forced.

The left does this with their own influencers, but it always feels very inauthentic to me. Nobody out there can be persuaded to vote for Biden by Harry Sisson. All of his viewers already were going to anyways.

Hating ghetto hoodrats and their antisocial destructive behavior and believing that society should enforce against such things =/= thinking blacks are subhuman or that you should have a white-dominated ethnostate and reimpose Jim Crow.

Remember, a nigger is not a race, but a state of mind.

That being said, they do have a smaller prefrontal cortex and thus lower impulse control. Blacks simply have a biological predisposition towards niggerdom.

I’m all for judging the individual on their merits but you also need to keep in mind 13%/50%.

 

[Begemot]

Ol' Joe can blather on about how it'll be the Lord Almighty to take him out - he wishes; that dead-eyed stare he was displaying during the debate was just him seeing the flames of Hell and the Grim Reapahhh coming for him, he knows his time is short.

He's basically predicting his own death and he knows it. Deep down in his evil black heart, he knows it.

That a side eye guy reference, cutie?
