Democrats: "I can't wait till a Republican is President so they get the same treatment"

Billionaire-Owned Mass Media: "Trump says he's the healthiest any man has ever been. We spend six weeks asking the question over and over again in man-on-the-street interviews"

Also Democrats: "Please, Billionaires. We love you so much. Donate us more of your money"

    To paraphrase Goebbels. "Accuse your opponents of what you are doing."

    I don't even think they realize they're doing it half of the time. It's wild.

    Accuse is really sugar coating it for Dems. Both parties have covered up severe health problems of the presidents, that's what tends to happens when you have 70+ yr old Presidents.

    At the same time it makes you realize how a well-chosen cabinet can run the show. Which makes you wonder, why have a president at all, some countries use a council now instead. Less "rockstar" and consolidated power. Make politicians bureaucratic again.

    Make politicians bureaucratic again.

    Sorry if rubbing this in, but as an outsider looking at US politics, the opposite was quite literally what people asked for since "pOliTiCs iS bOrInG" and they only started to engage in politics simply because Trump came to power to laugh at him. Now, it turned that he is a full blown fascist, and people are starting to have buyer's remorse, and wish they didn't wish to turn politics into circus and demand it to become boring again.

    Look everyone, nothing happened. Trump's hand was never bruised and he was just really busy for a few days. Putin definitely didn't break his hand in Alaska. That's ridiculous and no one is saying it.

    if the GOP cared about consistency, or had any shame to begin with.... we wouldn't even be having these problems.

    It's only the Dems who seem to care about doing things by the book, taking the high road, being proper...... and we can all see where that's getting us.

    This is an amazing comparison because Eddard Stark was still the asshole who beheaded a kid for running away from the nights' watch.

    Epstein's Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]

    They do it cause it works. When you've got a couple billion in media capital that you can fling around, it is very easy to just say "You're the pedo! You're the crook! You're the dictator! You're doing genocide!" on the loudest volume.

    And it doesn't help when your opposition takes it at face value and announces "We're looking into whether we're all degenerate freaks. We're taking these allegations very seriously" in between sucking up to the same batch of billionaire sociopaths bankrolling the fascist movement.

    When haven't it been projection with conservatives?

    Every accusation is a confession when it comes to conservatives.

    The tweet is true.

    But this is the US. Partisan ideologues of all colors have no principles beyond that which are convenient in the moment.

    I think you meant to say "exactly what they did with Biden".

    Yeah, but it's virtuous when THEY do it.

    It would be funny and take all the criticism thrown at Biden re: his advanced age and behaviors and bring them up with Trump.

    If you want to see some heads spin, raise some of those. Stuff that "just made sense" with Biden i.e. "Do we really want someone tuning out?" "He got a name wrong in a speech." "He looks old." Now, apply that to Trump and all of a sudden it "doesn't make any sense".

    I feel like there is a certain amount of hypocrisy required to advocate Trump. Similar to the Party in 1984, part of the success is being able to hold two conflicting ideas in your head at the same time and consider that logical and reasoned.

    Which it turns out they were, though I think it was more denial than any active deception.

    The media is reliant on money within the system.

    Under Capitalism all media becomes a propagandists defense of Capitalism and the system, as that's their home.

    The media are very much complcit in sane washing the regime. Totally biased in their focus.

    I think if something were to happen to him, the current administration would shove out an AI Trump before they admitted to anything.
