..but now i reckon he just has a superpower of constantly looking like poo poo, but in a completely different way day by day, and he probably has another decade in him at least (it's called good genes!)

Also,

"The media is reporting hysteria about Trump to sell clicks."

kw0134 posted:

This is kind of nonsensical? Either Trump is a threat or he's not, and if he is then you're sounding the alarm for a media this thread (rightfully) points how we're sleepwalking into a fascist nightmare. Like, gently caress, how are you supposed to report on him then?

kw0134 posted:

You can't possibly do the corrective necessary to counter a MSM intent on treating it as a normal election with the usual race metaphors without saying "hey, idiots, Trump is a real menace." Think about what you're saying, there can be no way to cover Trump that isn't in your mind tainted by the need to "sell clicks" because these are necessarily opposing approaches, because that's literally how you counterprogram that sort of thinking. If a mass of outlets are going "Generic Republican is winning Iowa," then you raise the proper specter of a fascist Trump by, well, pointing that out. Again, how the gently caress are you going to cover the story that isn't going to trip whatever part of your brain that sees ulterior motives in everything?

What exactly do these nimrods think the Demoncrat motivation is to 'unleash hordes of gangs' on the country, randomly slaughtering and stuff. Given that the Dems general agenda when they bother with it is to try to make life at least a bit better for everyone, how do they think this great plan to wreck the country would be inline with that agenda?

in computer toucher worlds, amongst the most technical people - the programmers, the devops workers, the sysadmins - it's not uncommon to find a trump guy in there who will go on rants only slightly more coherent than the orange man's about how trump "gets people talking about the money" or something like that. it fools nobody. there's also a smattering of fygm republican types who basically single issue vote on the topic of taxes, because computer touchers tend to be high earners and can in fact see a few thousand more per year from corporatist tax cuts. they have traditionally liked trump, but many of those idiots have their limits on what else they will stomach.

on a team of 6-7, this will generally average out to 1 trumpist. that 1 trumpist is frequently intimidated into silence by donny's most recent bullshit. many teams do not have any trumpists at all.

the computer toucher interfaces - the scrum masters, the agile coaches, the project managers - universally hate trump. i've literally never met a single one of these professional communicators who thinks that President Goodbrains is fit to do anything but poo poo his own pants.

One wierd trick to get voters to think you are capable of governing: declare sucession

Liberals Hate It

Like seriously who are these loving clowns trying to convince? Your base is already servile and bloodthirsty, they don't loving care. You are going to start a war over brown people entering the country? You really think moderate voters are going to go "yeah that's the vision I am looking for!"

What loving delusional blowhard tools

TulliusCicero posted:

I don't think this works though

Moderate voters have shown they are completely exhausted of Trump and the GOP's dupshit antics and will vote against them in large numbers. This just once again shows them how idiotic the GOP is and how they can't be trusted with loving anything.

What Trump and the GOP still haven't realized is that besides their braying pig gently caress base Americans hate loving hearing about politics, and Trump has kept this everyday poo poo parade going since 2016. Voters at this point just want the dumb motherfuckers to shut the gently caress up and gently caress off already.

TulliusCicero posted:

that article is from 5 months ago, the GOP got clocked in an off year election already

I think the GOP has done some new and exciting ways of loving up since then

Seriously why do people in this thread just act like the GOP hasn't eaten poo poo repeatedly at the polls since 2018?

Reminds me, when we went to Disneyland a couple of weeks ago, they had a guy just outside the gates with a speaker and microphone who was supposedly a preacher trying to woo people to God. But he kept yelling that people were molesters, and some other crazy poo poo, and I just wonder "Does that EVER work, yelling at people who are about to go into Disney to have fun?"

This is true, but they love the 2nd Amendment because they believe one day they'll get to use it to kill Americans.

This is also true because corrupt cops can sometimes get away with killing Americans, and/or at least harass them and make American lives miserable.

The only thing conservatives love in and/or about America are things that can harm Americans.

Things that are woke as gently caress: The NFL, Bud Light, Jesus Christ of Nazareth

quote:

A onetime top official with the Southern Baptist Convention has warned that American Christianity is in crisis — with some churchgoers viewing the teachings of Jesus Christ as nothing more than “liberal talking points.”

[...]

Moore told “All Things Considered” host Scott Detrow that his moment of clarity “was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — ‘turn the other cheek’ — to have someone come up after to say, ‘Where did you get those liberal talking points?’

“And what was alarming to me,” Moore went on, “is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak.’ And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”

So, does OANN and the other news stations like it do anything but broadcast Pro Trump propaganda all day? LIke do they have a normal news segment where they talk about normal, non trump related news? Or do they twist everything in about being about him?

A Fire at an apartment complex in Tulsa resulted in the 150 residents being evacuated, the cause was determined to Trump not being president anymore.
