Political Memes

I'm not sure what kind of "gotcha" this is supposed to be. Is "J" suggesting that we only hate him because he's a Republican, independent of his actual character and actions, and that we'd change our minds about him if he switched his party affiliation but kept doing the same stuff? Or is he trying to suggest that we hate him, specifically, for some "unknown" reason, and would continue to hate him even if he changed his platform and started doing Democrat things?

I mean, no matter his party or actions, he's still in the Epstein Files, so I'd say he isn't worthy of elected office and should be in jail even if he were to switch his party.

If he weren't a pedophile, he's still a racist, so no, I'm still orange-man-bad.

If he weren't a pedophile or a racist, he's still a remarkably stupid and vain person. Still not voting for him, regardless of party.

If he weren't a pedophile or a racist or dumb or vain, his policies have still killed and will continue to kill millions of people, so yeah, still despise him even if he were a Democrat.

Skipping ahead a bit:

If he weren't a pedophile or a racist or dumb or vain, and hadn't pushed murderous policies and wasn't a fascist, and hadn't attempted to tear down democracy, and hadn't harmed our international standing, and wasn't destroying the global economy, and wasn't enriching himself at the expense of the American taxpayer, and hadn't destroyed any semblance of social safety net we ever had, and wasn't a warhawk and hadn't built a private army out of the worst people from high school, and didn't have a complete disregard for truth and reality, and hadn't hollowed out reasonable discourse in our country, and wasn't the figurehead being puppeted by Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon and Mitch McConnell, and hadn't delivered the Supreme Court gift-wrapped into the hands of conservative activists, and never threatened the free press, and never wasted American money on vanity projects, and hadn't tried to distract from all of that with moldy bread and terrible circuses...

...then, yeah, I guess I might stop thinking of him as the worst American who ever held any elected office. But at that point...would he still be Donald Trump?

A demonstration of two things to remember.

One: Conservatives are tribal. They value in-group membership more than almost anything else.

Two: They think everyone is like them. They are not good at empathy.

They are bad people.

It does not matter what ideology he claims to represent. He's a criminal degenerate, and that's the only ideology he represents.

I disliked him before I was political or knew his political affiliation, everything since then has only served to reaffirm my previous conclusion. Also the person asking has no idea how much we hate the representatives we have to vote for so the literal Satan they voted for in their primary doesn't win the election.

A turd will always be a turd.

he wasn't a democrat. he isn't a republican. he doesn't have an ideology. he doesn't really care about managing public affairs.

he is in it for money (and narcissistic revenge against obama for laughing at him). he will happily shout right or left talking points as long as he believes they will get him 51% of votes in the end.

If he was a Democrat, I wouldn't be

I'll be honest, if he did good things for the small folk I'd despise him less. If he would do a lot of those things and not the mysoginst and distriminative and racist stuff, maybe i'd not dispose him at all anymore. If he, for example would acknowledge the ICJ or would end the Israeli genocide, I might really despise him less. Not saying i'll end up liking him, but I'd give the man new chances if he'd show he can change his ways - sure.

Telling on themselves as per usual.

I'd be way angrier at him. I have such little expectations from the right.

I’d despise this sack of festering paedophilia if he was a socialist. He’d give socialism a bad name.

I knew he wasn't to be trusted ever since he tried to convince the country to eat their pizza crust first.

Everything with this guy is backwards.
