why do people who seem to have no empathy for anyone else in the world get so angry when just this one single guy loses a court case

some actually behave like it's hurting them personally, but wouldn't care at all when it happens to anybody else

is it all a fake display to demonstrate loyalty, or have they made him into an extension of themselves

Speaking of confusing things I saw a jeep with punisher stickers and a Biden Harris sticker this morning.

i know this is probably a repetitive old thought but i wanted to type again how loving disappointing it is to live in a country where THIS MUCH of the population will still go along with his rear end.

it disturbs me a lot less that one guy can be a cartoonish narcissist piece of poo poo goblin, and a lot more just the sheer number of supporters they will have no matter what they say and do, like "oh well, every democrat in the country is worse forever no matter what. gotta keep votin for my team and calling myself a conservative till i die durp".

republicans were already losing the popular vote 4, 8 years ago. hillary was close and biden did win, years ago.

thousands of boomers die every single day since then. covid killed more chuds. some of them now think voting is rigged, or won't vote by mail.

abortion is supposed to drive many more people.

etc.

so why the gently caress is it still being described as a tight race, no matter what? it's always like this. frustrating.

it looks like over 4 million boomers are dying every 4 years.

i know they're not all conservative, but you would think it'd start affecting elections soon, when elections were already close.

I mean if there's anything we all can and should be taking home from the experience of the last 8 insane loving years is that we're still in uncharted water. Polls were developed during a time when politicians were boring and interchangeable pick-a-mix mannequins. All the rules and mathematical models and poo poo go completely out the window when we're dealing with a cult of personality that has captured tens of millions of people.

We don't know what the hell will happen when you thrust a new set of stimuli in front of those tens of millions of cultists. It's anybody's guess, all we know is we don't have precedent to go by, not in this country anyway.

It's going to take Republicans that actually give a poo poo about Democracy in a post-Trump/MAGA world to spine up and admit the Party was wrong and were spineless cowards to boot for allowing themselves to kneel before Trump before MAGAts can be talked off the ledged en masse.

The Republican Party as it stands, right now, is complicit for ALL of Trump's crimes, past or present, because of how strongly and blindly they are aligned with Trump and all of his policies. No matter how abhorrent. So they will have to collectively stand before the American people and atone for their sins, which is impossible to consider right now.

But maybe not in the post-Trump future, like say February of 2025, when the political races for Republicans look like some kind of Terminator apocalypse after they get trounced race after race, State after State, and not even the loving filibuster can save their worthless asses in their hunger for power.

i have a couple of family members similar to these types who have never apologized to anyone, for anything, in their entire life. (maybe if they're truly afraid, like in front of a judge).

i think a big reason why trump was so popular with some is he normalized rear end in a top hat behavior, let them feel more free to be their rear end in a top hat true selves. they are fighting to be loud and proud assholes at all times, and receive zero consequences for it. most democrats and various others in power they hate make them fear being an rear end in a top hat will be denormalized again.

i used to try to reason with them, but each only got worse with age. it's like trying to talk someone out of a serious illness, you can't. any amount of hope or effort i put into them was a waste of time and mental health. the only thing that makes mine behave is fear of consequences.

I looked up who owns that network (he's also behind bannon's war room).

Robert J. Sigg was charged with mortgage fraud in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado and was convicted in 2006. He had previously been arrested for burglary and assault in Jefferson County, Colorado, drug distribution in Weld County, Colorado, domestic violence in Parker, Colorado, and assault and battery in Aurora, Colorado. He's been arrested dozens of times in total, plus some money-related civil cases.

Also, his son Austin confessed to abducting and murdering 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway.

On October 22, 2008, Todd claimed that she was robbed at knifepoint by a "six-foot-four African American of medium build, dressed in dark clothes wearing shiny shoes" at a Citizens Bank ATM in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh. She also alleged that after the robber saw a McCain bumper sticker on Todd's car, he assaulted her, cut a reversed letter B into her cheek,[4] and told her "you are going to be a Barack supporter."[5]

On October 24, Todd confessed to inventing the story after police reviewed surveillance camera photos and administered a polygraph test.[7] She now said that she had seen the backwards "B" on her face while driving, and although she did not remember how she got it, assumed that she herself had done it because she had had previous episodes of memory loss.[3] According to police, Todd provided no explanation of why she had told them the story about the mugging instead.[8]

Super believable story.

Reminds me of the time I was assaulted by a blue-haired person in a vagina hat with black eyes. They saw my Jesus bumper sticker, and said "Not so fast. I, a Satanist, command you to vote for Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. this November, on behalf of my Dark Lord." and carved "JRB Jr." into my forehead because that is what people do.

one of the crappy things about all of this is no matter how harmful and immoral the behavior of politicians becomes, there are people in our real lives who consider it rude to ever briefly point it out.
