šŸ–• šŸŠ šŸ¤” A Continuing Round-Up of Trumpian Events šŸ–• šŸŠ šŸ¤”

Yeah, thatā€™s the weirdest. For me itā€™s one more dumb thing to throw on a pile of dumb things. I donā€™t have to change my worldview in the slightest whether itā€™s true or not. For people who like Trump itā€™s another bit a mental gymnastics to put in itā€™s own compartment (completely separate from the compartment where Trump won because Trump is the greatest of all time and no one could ever beat Trump). It seems like a lot of work.

Wonā€™t somebody think of the breadsticks!

No. I donā€™t think most actually think that. I think they feel the wording helps play/appeal to the right wing religious of the party.

Itā€™s about rhetoric not actual belief/ideology.

I think this is why I never really got into conspiracies. Theyā€™re interesting, but not in a hyperfocus way to my ADHD brain. Therefore, itā€™s too much work to keep up. Reality is exhausting enough without having to try to come up with and keep track of even more convoluted explanations and alternative ā€œevidenceā€.

Trump said a recently deceased member of congress might be in hell at a rally. Apparently this is not a big deal.

Having once been ā€˜a true believer,ā€™ I seriously doubt that many of the ones who are actually sane genuinely believe that; for many, I think thatā€™s just an excuse to ā€˜speed upā€™ armageddon, because theyā€™re tired of waiting in vain.

Not after he said his bragging about sexually assaulting women (ā€œgrabbing them by the pussies,ā€ no less) was just ā€œlocker roomā€ talk.

ā€œI was just kidding,ā€ ā€œPeople are misinterpreting what I meant,ā€ etc. are a standard alt-right tactic. Trumpā€™s got it down pat, to the point where itā€™s basically a reflex.

John Dingell was my Congressman, and ten times (minimum) the human.

45 is a ginormous POS.

I enjoy them the same way some enjoy a good sci fi / ARG.

Great fun if you suspend disbelief a little bit like you would any other fiction.

Itā€™s just so fucking awful. And the whole context is just fucked up. The comment was made in the context of talking about John Dingellā€™s wifeā€™s response to Dingellā€™s funeral. Normally if someone made a comment like that Iā€™d want to say, ā€œYou know they have surviving family members who are still mourning them, right? Thatā€™s just shitty.ā€ But the comment was made in the same breath as invoking how well Trump treated surviving family members.

And I know itā€™s Trump, but Iā€™m not normalizing this shit.

Commie Christians! (His followers will totally lap this up. Watch for subscriptions to drop significantly along with references to "backing socialism, like, you know, ā€œlove your neighborā€ and leftist ideas like that.)

Debbie Dingell is my Congressperson. I feel like my whole community has been insulted.
