My issue has always been that IMO the alt-right are pretty far right while the TDS left is your run of the mill person. As always, anecdotal, but I have tons of conservative friends and VERY few are vocal about it. I have tons of liberal friends and MOST are very vocal about it.
Agreed. My own relatives were fairly normal, critical thinking individuals with whom I disagreed politically. Until Trump came along.

Then, Trump (and I, by extension) was a racist, bigot, Nazi, sexist, white supremacist, toxic masculinity POS who was going to destroy America and the world, cause WWIII, and with whom they want nothing to do with. EVER again. :ohno:

I spent a lot of time defending Trump voters, his first 3 years. Saying Clinton was worse than Trump. I still made jokes about him. What tipped the scale was Trumps handling of Covid. Any person that even took High School biology or history could see the idiocracy in what he was saying about Covid. All downhill from there.

Z,

Unfounded charges of toxic masculinity are often times themselves sexist in nature. Unfounded charges of racism are lazy thinking tribalism and not to be taken seriously. I imagine a future where guys like us will have to find quiet places in the back of bars where we can eat blood red elk, talk football, tell blue jokes, and openly fart...unmolested by the woke masses.

Of course we’ll probably raise memories of post-war Nazi’s continuing to meet in secret. :mrgreen:

And it's TDS that causes JSO to drone on and on and on and on and on about how bad Trump is like Raymond Babbitt telling people he's a good driver.
If anyone here has TDS, it's certainly JSO. :nod:

TDS accusations mostly attempt to diminish the lack of leadership, physical and psychological harm, and disunity Trump has caused. ‘He cut taxes for the rich (inflating the oligarchy), didn’t get us into a war, and showed China who’s boss’do not excuse this abortion of a presidency. I’m hopeful most of his voters will slowly, quietly move on, even if they’re too ashamed or afraid to admit their support. Lashing out at others in defense of Trump at this point is either massive self deceit or betrays a serious lack of morality.

One of my closest conk friends who was once a Republican Party President for the county and a minister asked why I don’t like Trump. My answer simply was, he’s not a good dude.

That’s the question I’m interested in. Whether Trump brought out the worst in psychologically immature and/or compromised people or if that many Americans are truly just petulant, selfish children.

He's done and its already been too long and I hope its the end of his political life.


I swear if my daughter came home with a story like the ones I've been hearing about Cuomo you'd know my name from reading it in the paper.

Remember that time Cuomo killed a bunch of seniors and harassed a bunch of women and just went about his business and the left ignored it. That was cool.

New York Attorney General Letitia James and the team of attorneys selected to investigate allegations of sexual harassment made against Gov. Andrew Cuomo have completed their investigation and released a public report of their findings.

The attorney general's report, which is being made available to the public for the first time, found that the harassment claimed by a number of the governor's accusers is in violation of state and federal law.

Now he's qualified to be POTUS. It proves the old adage, " you can just grab 'em by the pussy."

He just needs to do what politicians have been doing lately when confronted with past sexual harassment or other crisises - deny it or acknowledge it, and just ignore it. Doesn't matter if it's sexual harassment, association with Epstein, influence peddling for family members in other countries, past use of blackface as a costume, and so on. If anything has been proved it's that voters really don't care about these things and only want to push these things if the politician involved has a letter next to their name denoting the opposite political party to the one they support. If it's the same letter as the party they support then they completely ignore the crisis as if it never happened. It's a proven way forward anymore.

Another Donkey governor who botched the COVID response, like the General Secretary of the California Communist Party. The difference now is that they have something criminally culpable to get Cuomo on. Sure, we've got Newsom getting his hand slapped several times by SCOTUS over his COVID over-control, his fire laxness, and his outright hypocrisy (French Laundry), but all that hardly compares to a sexual harassment (at minimum, assault at worst) charge against Cuomo....

I could be wrong, but I don't see the consequences for his actions going far beyond him resigning. MAYBE he'll get charged, but NY is as much of a political cesspool as Illinois. I'm pretty sure Cuomo has enough dirt on enough Dems in NY to be sure he won't see a courtroom. But who knows
