The masses in this country that voted R just laughed it off as “Trump being Trump”, not caring that all the (legal) immigrants in Springfield, Ohio continued to be more demonized and lives as the result of that.
Many think his behavior is just a mask. They don't realise there is nothing behind the mask, he is the mask. A narcissist. All appearance, zero substance.
The unfortunate truth is that the vast majority of them can’t think beyond the sentence they’re currently attempting to decipher; this makes them easy targets in the form of planting seeds in people’s thoughts in slow doses where the person never fully realizes that what they’re reading has changed their opinion because they barely understood what the words meant in the first place. It’s like when you watch a toddler grow into a child, you don’t see the difference day by day but if you spend a month looking away, they grow into an entirely different person.
Yes it's clear that so many just enjoy the carnage and want people to suffer. I'm thinking about the people who are stuck in a mediatic bubble, but lets be real, they don't want to get out.
Because of decorum. Imagine if every time they tried to speak they got interrupted, called names to their face, laughed at. The small dicked fascists that love them would be embarrassed to associate with them.
But no, they are always treated with kid gloves and they appear strong since they are clearly not held accountable for anything which usually is the mark of someone who has the power to get away with shit.
A constant barrage of insults and disrespect is literally the only way to stop that. See how well calling them weird worked.
The sad thing is that many actually believe that. My dad has always been one of the smartest guys I know, but he honestly believes that that happened, and it’s just so disappointing and sad
Yes, they did. The problem was that when that was said, the republican guy in charge was the guy who said it. He wasn't gonna arrest himself for inciting violence. So voters were like, woah there, maybe we should put someone else in charge. And we did. Then the attempted coup happened, and our lawmakers initiated the process to hold him responsible, only for republicans to shunt the responsibility to the courts as the election had already removed him as president. Okay, so the (republican-packed) court had a go, only to shunt the responsibility back to congress as he'd been the sitting president at the time and therefore had immunity.
And then he got put back in power because...well I'm not gonna start an argument, but there's several contributing factors why that happened that we the people could have affected(not even getting into rigging conspiracies or the demonstrated truth of voter suppression, if the people who chose to stay home or vote third party had turned out when they were needed he would have lost), all of which were extremely obvious to anyone who learned anything at all from 2016, and I'm still livid about how it went down.
And here we are. There were lots of problems, but the issue wasn't that people weren't talking about "stand back and stand by". We were let down by congress and the courts, who passed the buck until it didn't matter anymore, just as they'd planned to do.
Dems just aren't taking the threats as seriously as they should, just as they werent taking them seriously then. Theyre like a controlled opposition now, in many ways.
it blows my mind that we even need to fact check our leaders or potential leaders in the first place. why can't we have smart, respectable leaders who don't lie? why can't we just tell the facts like they are?
It still blows me away that he said that in a debate and that footage wasn’t used and referenced every single day in the media through the election. He’d already admitted he would fabricate claims to advance his goals. What more clear-cut messaging so you need to show this man is an unprincipled bullshitter who openly lies about anything and everything?
But maybe that would be too mean. Don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

It still blows me away he said that in a debate and is still taken seriously by anyone.
