There’s nothing the same about Trumplicans political rhetoric
Trumps probable Vice Presidential candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I am not going to mince words with you all. Democrats want Republicans dead and they have already started the killings."
This rhetoric is dangerous and unacceptable.
The term for this sort of rhetoric is “accusation in a mirror,” and scholars of genocide identify it as a major warning sign when political leaders start talking like this.
But the poor victim will find a whatabout

where did you hear that she’s the probable running mate? i’d love to see where you got that.
meanwhile bidens actual running mate sucked her way to the top, put drug users in prison while laughing about her own drug use, and is a cackling, unserious clown.
And Biden said republicans want blacks back in chains. so like everything else, outrageous lies are fine when democrats tell them.

There you go again ! Petes point went right over your head ? And you ignored Greene’s words typical
Yet your response is nothing short of deflection and of course misogynistic hallmarks of a true fill in the blanks C. T. M. R

stacey abrams saying that her previous election was stolen due to racism, Biden saying republicans want to put blacks back in chains, all democrats saying that conservatives want to treat women like cattle, you denying that democrats tried to undermine Trump’s 2016 win…these are all laughable, outrageous lies. but you cannot admit it, because you can’t admit anything that doesn’t serve your side.

Putin is losing to Ukraine.
The ayatollahs may be losing to the people of Iran.
Trump may be losing to the Justice Department.
Republicans seem to be losing control of the 2022 elections.
I’m still worried, but 2022 could be a good year for liberty and democracy.
Of course, we will hear screaming from the right because Conservatism, by definition, is about conserving traditional (and often, outdated) values. So, I would argue that at its core, conservatism requires being unhappy with the way things are today. It is literally rooted in misery by definition.
I’m sure the poor victim has one survey to rebut that…..

you were banned from starting threads here because of how obsessed and deranged you are. So who’s unhappy?
People are fleeing blue states for red states ( and often to mexico) in search of a better life. Why is that?

No obsession in you, poor victim
Now you’ve heard they’re fleeing blue states for Mexico, maybe it’s the United States for a place where healthcare is affordable.
You consistently echo extreme right wing media and think you’re not far right, because you know an immigrant shopkeeper, have a leaf and sorta support gay marriage, but don’t talk about it because it’s contagious.

you can’t victimize me. you’re a paranoid lunatic
unlike you, i can praise or criticize either side.
i’ll talk about gay marriage all day. i supported it, and not sorta,,when obama and hilary and even the citizens of CA were opposed. Which we all know means you opposed it then, because you can’t go against the leftie grain, not ever.
i’m curious to know why you said i sorta support it? Why’d you have to lie and throw in a qualifier? because the truth isn’t convenient for you, so you have to lie?
i support what’s true, decent, makes common sense, and helps people without hurting others. I take it case by case. You? You blindly say the liberal is always right.

Iran protests: Supreme leader blames unrest on US and Israel
Trump and his supporters blaming the FBI and the deep state for Trumps lost.
Seems they have a lot in common

White evangelical conservative Christians in Georgia voting for the domestic abuser who paid for an abortion over the literal reverend is proof that it’s always been about power and not holiness to them.

Showing proof of vaccination while we're in the throes of a pandemic is a step too far for Republicans, but forcing teenage girls to disclose their menstrual history to play school sports is normal and appropriate?

I don't know what you're talking about with menstrual history, but most Americans want girls to compete physically with other girls. If that sounds kooky to you, look at the polling and tell me who is with the majority, and who's on the extreme...I doubt you'd fare well competing physically with men, especially if your inability to compete intellectually is any indication, but most normal people think it's sick to have men and women compete physically with each other. Sure it gives you a fighting chance for the first time, but it puts you out of touch with mainstream America. As usual.

Poor victim
Student athletes in Florida have to agree to have their period tracked in order to be eligible to play.
The state bans abortion after 15 weeks, no exceptions for rape or incest && parents of a minor have to be notified and give consent.
Ask your wife if as a teenager she would have felt comfortable reporting her periods to participate in school activities.
The you can consider what happens when some teenager misses her period for any reason and there’s more than pregnancy involved that can make that happen, never mind that not every woman matures at the same age.
Will the fascists lock her up?
But vaccines are overstepping peoples rights

With reproductive privacy and parental rights over children's data top of mind, both abortion rights advocates and concerned parents have raised alarms about the questions and and how they can be used.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I have zero reading or comprehension skills and would have completely misinterpreted it without you adding your keen insight

not sure it matters who he said it to, what matters is he didn’t i or anyone could hear him. he said to the Ft Myers mayor.
you’re upset someone gave biden the finger, but he can call a reporter a dumb son of a bitch for asking about inflation. that’s an example of treating people with respect.
Maybe some people don’t like it when biden says we want to put blacks back in chains.

Here’s the thing, I think it’s idiotic now, I thought it was idiotic for the previous 4 years, and I thought it was idiotic the 8 years prior to that.

In 2011, just 36% of Republicans said a politician who committed an immoral act could still fulfill their duties.
With Trump on the 2016 ballot, that shot up to 70%.
In 2020: 71%.
