Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

It continues to weird me out that how this thread is a right wing hugbox and the the_donald thread is a left wing hugbox, yet both threads seem to mostly just ignore each other. Shouldn't the threads react to each other like antimatter?

A hugbox implies that nobody is allowed to disagree, lest they be ejected. This thread has become a place where people go who aren't afraid of a fight, who have actively sought somewhere to discuss things that are forbidden in other places (a.k.a. hugboxes). Really, as much as you've participated in this thread yourself, how did you not realize that?

That being the case, most of us who linger here tend to share a specific political leaning; and that's perhaps a greater concern, that one side of the spectrum is by and large unable to speak freely elsewhere.

I wouldn't call them cancer because cancer dies with its host. They are more like termites who finished eating one house and moved to the next. They are already bringing the baggage of those places to other states, and the states being affected are rather important in the grand scheme of things.

Locusts, my friend. They descend upon prosperity that they did not build, consume it with a sense of proud entitlement, and then lift off and move on to other rich sources of food.

And then, just when you think you're done with them and you can resume a normal life, the eggs hatch.

The problem is that when you're so used to the usual lefty bias seen in coverage of Trump, walking in here probably DOES feel like a right-wing hugbox.
 
When I see tweets like that, it is amazing to me that the left doesn't understand why people like Trump.

He is one of the few people that is able to throw all the shade he wants at these obnoxious jerks that normal people have to smile, nod, and pretend to agree with just to keep their jobs and not be made into a social pariah.

And he's funny.

Really fucking funny. For a boomer president, he proves that not all boomers suck with their humor. He could be an asshole sometimes with his tweets, but I can say that most of the time he gets at someone, it's pretty funny.

It's more elemental, I think.

If you've lived your entire life under an abuser's thumb, you assume that your abuser is normal. Abusers make it clear that your only value, to them or even as a human being, is in your compliance--and so you assume that's how everyone operates. Therefore, when you see people agreeing with one another in a way that disagrees with you, you revert to your programming and interpret it as "they value each other but wouldn't value me".

What scares me is that this has become a widespread attitude. People can't function like this; people can't thrive like this; a society can't continue to stand when the political is taken personally. And it's becoming a self-enforcing cycle.
 
Instead of cancer just call them what they are.
Overgrown children.
You know because they are quite literally running away from their problems and refusing to take responsibility for why things got so bad in the first place.
Just the tone they use and the way they get a kick out of even unfunny really basic digs at politicians makes it really obvious this is a society wide case of "FUCK YOU DAD!". Trump lets even the fatherless get in on the action and that's a fast growing demo.

Like what is this? Some guy showed me this meme the other day I think expecting me to get mad? I'm just confused i-is banging strippers bad now? Left aren't you always telling me I'm a fuddy duddy christian just because I don't think half a million aborted babies a year is a good thing?

"Prosperity they did not build" Oh you make me laugh you flyover pleb.
In the words of the greatest president of all time "You didn't build that".
You should be grateful that me and my NIMBY friends have graciously come to spread our culture to this backwards shithole and "redeem" the South...And the Midwest and Mountain states too while we're at it.
I mean how could you live without a Starbucks or microbrewery on every block? Goodbye Mom and Pop, hello Corporate America!
How could your pathetic excuses for cities thrive without an infestation of the homeless and shit and dirty needles littering the streets?
Truly I pity you and your small existence.
"Locusts" is honestly too kind of a word to describe these cunts.

Taylor Swift's new interview is so fucking cringe it makes MovieBob the new Immanuel Kant.

This is what she said about politics.
I especially love the interviewers use of “right-wingers, and worse”. I love the total lack of subtlety there. Let’s be honest Taylor, your career is starting to show spots of being on the downward slide, and that’s at least one of the reasons for your recent turn to the political. I suppose even stupid attention is better than no attention for you guys.

Another fine piece of work from the Babylon Bee gives us a good bit of insight into Beto.

'When I Am President, I Will Take Away Your Guns,' Says Man Who Will Never Be President
September 4th, 2019
article-4757-1.jpg

U.S.—Beto O'Rourke promised to take away everybody's guns when he is president, though sources have confirmed that O'Rourke will never even get close to being the president.

"When I am president, I will take away your guns," said the man who is as close to the White House as he's ever going to be. "The first day I'm in the Oval Office, I will sign an executive order to buy back everybody's firearms. As I lean back in that Oval Office chair and put my feet up on my desk, I will rest easy knowing that I have done something to make our country a safe place from all violence."
"Man, I can't wait to see how that presidential pen feels signing an unconstitutional executive order," he added wistfully, though he will never know how that feels.
At publishing times, O'Rourke's pro-gun control comments had caused his number of supporters to get cut in half, leaving him with just one.

At least with actual locusts, you can cook and eat the little bastards. Even if cannibalism was allowed, West Coasters would be so filled to the brim with kale and soy that you may as well go ahead and starve yourself to death after they cause the inevitable famine
 
It always amazes me how proud they are of that 98% statistic. If anything, it shows that black women are the most dangerous voting bloc to our democracy. It shows the most cliqueish, gullible, and unquestioning voting pattern of all demographics recorded. I can only imagine how much shit that 2% gets.
At least black women don't fuck dogs

If we're going to go all Biblical here, does this mean all the plagues of Egypt have occurred in our political climate? The tenth being the death of the firstborn was enough to get the Pharaoh to let the Jews go before chasing them down into the Red Sea, but given the number of abortions, that's the "striking dead the firstborn" part of the plagues of Egypt albeit self-inflicted (although I dunno what would be considered the equivalent of three days of darkness). What would've come after that had the Pharaoh not given up, and are we seeing those theoretical eleventh and twelfth and so on plagues happening?

The collective deaths of the firstborn in Egypt amounted to a complete upending of their society. Birth order determined who in the family had all the power and status. There was no need for further plagues; it was too profound a blow. And the chaos afterwards was probably hell enough to try and settle.

All that above said, I wasn't going Biblical. Locusts are a perennial threat to any agriculture, and have been a burden on us since we started cultivating plants. I mean, I'm happy when anyone's first instinct is "The Bible!", but when we're so far removed from basic food production that that's the only context in which we think of locusts, we may have some lean times a-comin'.

Beto is making himself look like an imbecile again. AR-15s are not the same as tanks you numbskull!

...how is anyone even allowed to own a tank or bazooka when the military owns both and they and arms manufacturers don't sell them to the public at large ffs. I absolutely hate this bullshit "theoretical argument". It's practically impossible to own either.

You're technically not supposed to own actual MREs or AFRTS records either, but I have both.
