Hey Trump, it is a sign of weakness if you change course now.
I like how they are finally beginning to realize their “super stable 11D chess playing genius” is actually one of the most dumbfuck politicians we’ve ever had. Something we all saw from day one. George Bush Jr. looks like a prodigy next to this guy.
It’s like I never wanted to forgive the GOP for George then they went and pulled a trump. It all makes sense now. W was the creme of the crop when it comes to the GOP. Literally the best thing they had going for them was that shit head.
Eh. GWB killed a million Iraqis out of greed and arrogance, Trump killed a million Americans out of ignorance and laziness, same difference really.

There were so many moments where I thought that’s what was happening and it didn’t.
He needs to lose and go to jail, and even then he will probably have thousands of followers left.
delicious delusional con tears…
Were fucking Republicans. We freed the slaves. We forced through reconstruction. We were responsible for civil rights. We literally have the historical record to make these arguments to the face of these race obsessed garbage people.
LOL. I so laughed at this line. Some people are unbelievably clueless.
Notice that while they’re posting on /r/conservative they don’t use the word “conservative” in that sentence. Because then they’d have to say:

I bet they also believe Democrats do nothing to help black people in recent times.
Which, to be clear, is true in many ways. Now apply the same logic to Republicans who bleat out “we were the ones who freed the slaves!”.
Nah bruh, your brain is just too liberal to understand why trickle down economics is actually great for the poors
I haven’t visited that sub in years, mostly because it made me feel dumber.
But those comments are in weird contrast to what I used to see. I wonder if the veil is finally falling…that’d be wild.
It’s kinda funny watching them notice who Trump is for the first time while still being upset he might not win. There’s some comments that are effectively, “enough of the meaningless bullshit, just talk about policy and he’ll do better!” as if Trump ever had any attractive policies.
I believe last I heard they were trying to distance themselves from their policies because they realized in hindsight that they shouldn’t say them out loud.
Well that was certainly eye opening, and not in a good way. Begs the question of how the party has ever been able to unite such a diverse group of delusional and hateful people with out the whole group completely thunder-doming themselves.
They have a uniting principle:
“We deserve to rule, being the heirs of privilege. The world is not fair, and we will keep it that way so that we can be on top.”
Reactionaries see the democratization of rights as an assault on them; to them, rights are zero-sum. If someone else (especially a group they’ve coded as “evil”) gets a right recognized, they see it as a personal affront.
One can see this streak throughout history for the reactionary right: freeing the slaves, ending Jim Crow, women’s suffrage, same-sex marriage, etc.
I don’t think it’s even about ruling, it’s about needing to feel superior to . . . someone. Decades ago there was a wonderful article titled something like “Who Are You Better Than?”. It talked about how people who know they are not, and never will be, members of the ruling class desperately need groups of people they can comfortably point to as being “beneath them”. As long as they aren’t at the bottom they can feel good about themselves.
What’s r/conservative?
Edit:
Ah well, hand people an opportunity, and they’ll kick you for it.
No, no, you’re doing great! Keep making a big deal about her ethnicity, you’ve almost got all the black voters convinced to stay home!
Best part about all this:
I know who the racists are in my community when they plop a Trump sign in their yard.
1 would be too many, but they’re still the minority. they can only win if Dem turnout is low.
This is why he is so damn dumb, he’s already got the racist vote! So lay off that shit and work on the moderates!
I’m glad Trump thinks he knows everything though so he more than likely wont listen to sound advice.
And the funny thing is, from his point of view (not mine, okay?), shouldn’t Kamala claiming she’s black a plus for his campaign?
“Another black president?! Hell no!”
I’m not sure why he does what he does. I guess he likes to stir shit up for the sake of stirring shit up.
I think it’s more that he needs black voters so he’s trying to tell them that she’s lying to them so she can “steal” their votes.
Typical asshole of course.
Yeah, he’s really dumb about these kinds of things.
When he went back on revealing Epstein info because “some people will have their names exposed who didn’t do anything wrong”, he’s being so transparent and so stupid. If he says he’s going to release info, he doesn’t actually have to release info. More than anyone else in the world, Trump should understand that, but he doesn’t.
I thought you were smarter than that but you’re acting like a dumbass.
The rest of us caught on 8 years ago.
In the '80s Trump always made Spy magazine’s “Top 10 Worst People, Places or Things” list. His only “mitigating factor” at the time was that he wasn’t in politics.
Fun fact: back then Trump offered to pay for the funeral of a child killed by a bear … and then reneged.
I mean, some of us were fortunate enough to not know who he was at all.
That said, I’m a millennial, so what do I know.
