Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

I'm an old center-left individual (what the current left was before they decided everything was offensive). I think that's an okay thing to be, but the current left will hate you if you're that.

It sucks.

I hear you. I've been center-left my whole life, but it's suddenly not good enough. Those of us who were blue dogs are now worse than neo-cons apparently.

How about Orange Man Stupid? Because anyone who squawks about injecting patients with isopropyl alcohol is, if nothing else, an idiot.

Trump's functionally retarded, yeah, I agree. But even a retard makes good decisions once in a while, even if it's at help by his tard wranglers (advisors).

It comes from the second Bush presidency, when the religious right was up in arms protesting Harry Potter, shutting down stem cell research, and generally not letting people mind their own business. The Internet Atheists come up in response, breaking down the christian underpinnings of the religious right. That included standing up for the people targeted by the right; LGBT, muslims, and racial minorities.

The change started around Obama's second term. A black man became president, more states were allowing gays to marry, there was an sense that things were progressing in America. We all know that was bullshit propped up by the media. The far left got in and convinced a large majority of people who opposed the authoritarian nature of the religious right to support authoritarianism based on identity. It's the same way the free love hippies of the 60s transformed into bomb-throwing anarchists of the 70s. True batshit radicals got in and convinced people that protests should be replaced with violence.

Those left in the dust of the SJW takeover were searching for answers, which the right-wing was happy to give.

Maybe we are seeing it now or we will see it later, but there is going to be a new version of the Reaganite Republicans in the model of Trump. Once that group starts failing in its principles, then there will be a new left group, probably focused on gradual welfare reform. And so on and so on.

Good thing he wasn't. He was talking about injecting people with light. Either that or wanting UV light therapy to be injected into the solution to defeat the invisible enemy.

No. Sorry. Listen to the clip again. Yes, he spoke about injecting light first. But then, he mentioned disinfectant - specifically the one that killed Covid-19 in one minute, and whether they should look at injecting that into people. The one-minute disinfectant he's talking about refers to what the Under Secretary of Homeland Security described as isopropyl alcohol when giving the results of testing of various disinfectants on surfaces prior to Trump's statements.

I know the current talking point is to pretend he was only talking about light injections, but he wasn't. Like it or not, I could not care less. He said what he said. And he knows how much he fucked up because he's been ducking the media since then.

Here's the clip. He first talks about light, the mentions disinfectants at around 00:24. Note how he's looking at Dr. Birx for confirmation but she can't even look him in the face.

Being morally right, yet politically left can be a bitch. Yeah I want universal healthcare and true worker rights but I don't think genital mutilation is fine. Being a bull moose is a tough road but I'm still doing it.

The current talking point is to describe him as saying something even stupider than what MSNBC is saying he said?

SJW is pretty much a nonsense phrase. Some people mean it as "people who need absolute equality in everything and get really loud and obnoxious about it", some people mean "anyone who has any vaguely progressive opinions at all."

Pretty sure most people online use it as shorthand for 'left-wing authoritarian assholes.'

Imagine being an actual medical doctor or scientist trying to brief the country about something that is killing thousands and having to talk around some absolute moron spewing incoherent gibberish.

I mean that is essentialy part of the job in general of being a doctor/scientist. Being able to talk around dumb people who don’t understand your complicated shit.
