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

[MirrorNoir]

If he goes, the Dems will spend the next 4 years making sure a populist candidate can never win an American election again. You've seen the kinds of things they say about people who don't vote the way they want.

That will be a bit harder since they couldn't be arsed to steal big and get a super majority in the House/Senate AND a Regan/Nixon style blue wave with Joe winning all but one-two states if not all 50 states.

One of the biggest bits of post-election sour grapes I'm seeing is the lunatic left/DNC in the last 24 hours revolves are the last bit. The chief goal for the election was a 100% repudiation of Trump, a Blue Wave in which Biden wins everything and that it's an irrefutable summary judgement that the country rejects Trump, everything Trump stands for (including populism) and the GOP in general.

By keeping it so fucking close and worse, by making HUGE inroads with minorities, the Democrats are now in a much deeper hole. Trumpism? Not going away and that the GOP is going to double down on it either by having Trump run again in 2024 or finding another Trump type populist to run in his place (Crenshaw or Tucker or one of Trump's kids). The Lincoln Project/Neocons are fucked, since they expected the GOP to crash with no survivors of the Trump variety so they can rebuild it and re-enforce their status as the kingmakers of the GOP but now they are going to be branded traitors and banned from the party for life and find the GOP not renouncing Trumpism because of the fact that the Democrats had to fucking CHEAT to win in 2020 and the fact that their base is going to be crying for revenge and will purge the GOP if Mitch, Cruz, Graham, etc don't help them achieve it.

The left COULD fucking go hardcore censorship and probably will, no doubt. But you can make the case that they've fucked themselves HARD cheating like they did and given that Biden's age and health are as bad as they are, he's not running for a second term. And Harris is now tainted for her association with Biden and that will hurt her and hurt her BAD if she runs in 2024 since she'll be held accountable for Biden's sins along with her own. Especially since the progressive base will demand blood and AOC will be waiting in the wings, ready to betray Harris if she can get away with it to run in her place.

And while they can triple down on censorship and deplatforming, eventually that will reach the point that they will deplatform/censor the wrong fucking person and then hell will break loose; the same way McCarthy's downfall came when he picked a fight with the US Army. Worse, people might start getting killed; imagine Twitter's corporate HQ being truck bombed Oklahoma City-style. And given that they failed to get a nationwide repudiation of Trumpism, the numbers are going to grow and grow and grow and will bite the left on the ass come 2022 and 2024 and then they'll have no choice but to go nuclear and start importing in voters.

Now, if we were talking about AOC... now that's someone who could stir up some derangement/enslavement (she already does, to a scale proportional to her media presence), although the acronym would get pretty unwieldy.

Or Ilhan Omar, who is pretty much the Little Carmine of "The Squad". Then again Trump has had success in office to compliment his personality, those girls are just annoying. Imagine Ilhan trying to do diplomatic negotiations, haha.

Their attempt to create as version of TDS for Biden will fall as flat as their other attempts to appropriate and invert right memes. TES can be considered a legit phenomenon - Trump's cult of personality is impressive - but as yet BDS is not at all analogous with TDS.

If falls flat since Trumpers don't go around rioting and beating cops up. The only time I've heard about them going on a civil war was if trump were to get assassinated

[The Last Stand]

I would take AOC as a VP for Biden. Harris is corrupt; AOC is inexperienced.

Well, prefer. It would certain make it interesting but she would be prone to do something off the cuff.

It's clear that the fringe DNC doesn't respect minorites. The obnoxious ones are front and center, anybody against the status quo or agenda, they get backlashed. Or the blatant cases of minorites acting uncivilized, they get swept under the rug.

The RNC, especially with Trumpism, wouldn't acknowledge minorites (until recently, Latinos) exist unless they regurgitate key points that they align with. See 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Candace Owens, etc. They will try to convince you, or just ignore you or assume you're on the plantation.

 

[It's HK-47]

Would Biden's win be the breaking point for some Farmers to wear they just disconnect from politics?

Maybe Dear Leader would get his wish for a minimal political forum.

The Hell of it is that I can never unlearn the things I've learned. The illusion was smashed so badly in 2016 that everything I thought I knew about politics turned out to be a lie, and nothing can ever undo that. I'd disassociate from it quite a bit; I'd shrug my shoulders, shut down most of the feeds I use to aggregate news and keep up with the general flow of political traffic, but I can never go back to being that blissful idiot who thinks that everything is a little messy but the machine still works fine and a little duct tape just adds to the aesthetic.

Ideally, people say that learning from history is the best way to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. In practice, what actually happens is that you have to sit back and watch while a bunch of drooling idiots repeat the mistakes of the past, and refuse to listen to you no matter how many times you warn them about what happened the last time someone tried it. Learning about politics is very similar.

But, you can't reclaim the past, time only moves in one direction, and there's no sense sitting around and fretting about how looking under the hood screwed up my entire concept of the world around me. If it's definitively proven that he lost, all the recounts come out legitimate, the Supreme Court rules against him and the Electoral College doesn't swing his way: Shit sucks, but I'm not going to sit around for four years screaming about it.

Oddly enough, the awkward stalemate that basically split the country clean down the middle has left everyone much more calm than I expected--apart from the weird, hyper-partisan people on either side--once the initial shock wore off. I really don't know how to put my finger on it, but it feels like some kind of thread just.. Snapped? Maybe it's just the calm before the storm, but even the people in my life that I expected to fly off the handle are just kind of slumping around and waiting to see what happens, some of them are even reaching across the aisle to talk to people that they practically hated a week ago.

I thought that the 50/50 split was going to be the theoretical nightmare scenario, but somehow it's resulted in people just... Talking to each other again. It's like the election went from being this psychotic frenzy of partisanship to this unusual sort of worn-out calmness. I don't really know what to make of it at the moment, but I'm definitely enjoying it while it lasts.

So unless they're there to help push/influence issues that specifically affect them, then they're viewed like any other American?

Sounds like that's how it should be, and how people like, for example, homosexuals, should have been viewed as after gay marriage was legalized, like any regular American. Instead being gay and supposedly oppressed is part of some of their regular personalities.

Just a quick question, I stopped in the TES thread to see what the mood was and uh, are they always that salty and bitter when they "win"?

Does the system work? Well, Trump managed to beat a career politician even with the odds against him. I'm hindsight, looking at the past four years, not much has changed for the average person under Trump.

Certainly not as bad as people predicted until 2020 happened. I guess that's worth something.

Just a quick question, I stopped in the TES thread to see what the mood was and uh, are they always that salty and bitter when they "win"?

I don't know what is happening with that after Biden. I can't speak for everybody, but they would prefer Biden over Trump. I can understand that. But I don't think they'll have much content compared to here.

Trump influence certainly isn't going away. There will be somebody just like Trump, maybe moreso. I think the RNC banked on Trump too much, even after shunning him initially. They'll likely try to find a Trump imitation or back to neocons like Romney.

There's an aura of racial and sexist ignorance within that party and base so who knows what would happen.

It probably will be for me, tbh. Some pretty personal bridges have gotten burned for me in the insanity of 2020 especially in the leadup to last night. I'm just too worn down at this point to go Derangement Syndrome on Biden, Harris or even the media complex that fueled them. I'll probably keep coming here for some of the more niche interest threads but for now at least the politisperging will probably fade into the background.

Definitely this. It’s like everyone took a look at the results and went “...wait, this is what I’ve been getting so worked up over? Huh...” and just having long hard think on things.

 

[The Fatriarchy]

BDS and BES will never be a thing. People feel very strongly about Trump as a person because of his mannerisms and style. These don't map to Biden in any way, shape or form.

Not enough people care about Biden enough to develop Derangement/Enslavement Syndrome towards him. Yeah, some people hate the man, but he's a cog in the machine. His meme is being goofy, creepy and demented. He doesn't have Trump's smug confidence, and he's effectively interchangeable with any number of Democrat politicians. Case in point: the Democratic primaries.

Now, if we were talking about AOC... now that's someone who could stir up some derangement/enslavement (she already does, to a scale proportional to her media presence), although the acronym would get pretty unwieldy.

The problem is that the TES thread thinks anything that isn't just deep throating Biden's dick is BDS. Just see the examples from the earlier linked image/post and look at how they go crazy over it like people said anything worth getting upset about.

One person I talked is concerned about Biden's tax plan. Evidently, that would affect them to depression.

So take that what you will.

The only way BDS can happen is if it turns out in the end (which could be possible) Biden actually wins fair and square and some crazy far right types start shit on twitter and facebook, and especially on thedonald.win (if it doesn't get taken down).

Regardless I have detached myself from politics and am going to laugh at this utter shitshow cause no matter what happens in the end, Trump or Biden, our electoral system is fucked unless serious election reform happens which will be unlikely for years.

I remember when the right wingers on Fox News got pissed off at Obama for the tan suit and eating a hot dog in a certain way. It was dumb stuff and most normies didn't care. For Biden, I really don't know what to get mad at him over other than what the fuck. And if the leftists want to deal with Kamala so dad then they will learn the hard way what kind of degenerate Kamala Harris is.

Bill Burr made a great point about Trump's actual influence on your everyday life and it will be the same with Biden in the sense that the GOP will cuck him on everything. The GOP has made some giant gains which are super unexpected. And Trump is paying the price for it.

 

[The Last Stand]

If Fox News is the reason why Trump underperformed in the polls with inaccurate reporting, I'm going to laugh.

We're in the eye of the hurricane. Both sides are claiming victory, so everybody's a winner! Just wait for this to break in either direction. Regardless of the outcome, I know my respect for the institutions of this country has basically completely disappeared. I'm sure it has completely disappeared for many others too. Is this what it feels like to be a Brazilian? A Honduran? Man, it's disheartening.
