“Oh my God can you believe Trump said that a soldier maimed in a US-backed War is worth LESS to American politicians than some billionaire Zionist’s widow who just donates a bunch to campaigns? Outrageous!”
I just remember going to Jordan and seeing a giant picture of the king’s son, a preteen boy, in every building I entered. Can’t imagine what kind of megalomania you develop from seeing shrines to you everywhere you go starting from your childhood.
Yep, you think their idea of a chosen one leader or shifting loyalties between camps are from the Bible or history, but their mental model is actually the plotline from some show or movie they watched while eating.
I think this is just all Amerifat political discourse, our people think real life works the way movies do, which is why while Trump was flopping in office they had to make up that he was doing 4D chess or hiding his power, as if things were going to turn out like a climax in a double cross heist film.
I hope this guy keeps doing these, I really liked the time when Patrick Doran and Jesse Farrar would troll standup shots with joke memes like “I was sucking a dick like it’s a crap” and draw confused anger.

This is ultimately just the carried over playground behavior from elementary school of calling a boy a girl, or a girl a boy whenever that person does something disliked or unconventional. Social media bubbles stunt maturity.
I have been thinking about how much Republican causes nowadays are just vapor, because they stemmed from thoroughly isolated echo chambers pumping partial info. It is hard to translate into any consequential action because it too easily peters out from a public challenge.
I would say that in this particular case a second Trump loss can be spun into “another stolen future” or some shit and galvanize MAGAs to riot more than they would if he won.
One interesting thing about Elon allowing the r-slur to fly on Twitter, is seeing how often it now gets used to describe stuff like this and the people supporting it.
Trying to claim the suburbs like it is the hood is something seventh grade boys would try to do to seem cool. This is the kind of shit that keeps conservatives permanently lame. All they have is Frankenstein reverse engineered versions of things that once trended organically.
A secret trick that dumb liberals who performatively denounce “mud-slinging” overlook is that if your insult to your opponent is undeniably funny or resonant, they cannot repeat it to shame you because it will get more people to laugh at them than to be outraged on their behalf.
The RNC recently tried to attack Kamala by showing a clip of her laughing at Trump being called the r-slur, but too many people get why Trump would be called that, and the “how dare she” responses were overpowered by responses saying “based.”
This is also why the Vance couch cushions bit is effective, there is no way to condemn that insult by name without humiliating yourself more than you shame your insulters.
