The claim that people would like him if he was not a republican is one of the stupider pieces of cope they’ve come up with. They also like to use the stupid “TDS“ thing to claim that people just hate Trump arbitrarily, as if we can’t list 50 different horrible things he’s done and things about him that make him completely unfit for the office.
The claim that people would like him if he was not a republican is one of the stupider pieces of cope they’ve come up with.
From their perspective, it makes sense. They hate Democrats because they're Democrats. And if one of them switches sides to become a Republican, they'll suddenly find excuses for them, forgive everything they've ever done, and support them no matter what.
They're so baked in tribalism that they can't understand disliking a politician for any other reason. So they think of course things would be reversed if he was part of the other tribe. They, of course, would instantly hate him if he became a Democrat.
It's also a self-report that they like him only because he's a republican.
It's not just cope. It's that these people are so surrealistically stupid and lack all sense of curiosity that many legitimately don't know a fucking thing about the guy they voted to be the most powerful figure on the planet. So they think we must be acting unreasonable to hate him so much.
I mean a common phrase among them leading up to 2016 was "he'll run it like a business" because they were entirely unaware that the dipshit has driven every business venture he's ever attempted into the ground except for real estate because a monkey could be successful at real estate if it inherits a bunch of its daddy's money and real estate.
They don't even know who he is.
These brainless morons really think this shit is team sports. JFC.
For them, it is. So they assume it is for everyone.
This is the key point. It's why "every accusation is a confession" works so often. They are accusing others of the things they themselves are doing, because they assume everyone is doing it.
And they cannot get over the novel idea that people don't think that way and thus are lying or doing it better.
See also them using phrases like "believing in science". I don't have to believe in it, it's repeatable. Stop projecting your dumb worldview.
Whenever someone brings up "believing in science" remind them that science isn’t a matter of belief, it's a matter of understanding. The world is the way it is whether you "believe" in it or not. The world is the way it is whether you understand it or not, and life is a lot easier when you understand the world around you.
It's more that these morons actually behave this way. They trust anyone with an "(R)" at the end of their name.
Pennsylvania has a Democrat ogre, and we seem to have no problem saying, "fuck Fetterman"
Well tbf, he got a stroke and basically that's how he turned conservative
Wasn't there an interview from like the 80s were he said if he ran for president he would run repub cause they were idiots and he could trick them easily?
That's the story. I think he was always a sleeper and the stroke made him unable to walk the line.
If he were a DEMOCRAT I would FORGIVE all the Blatant Corruption and CHILD RAPING!
-This is how REPUBLICANS are!
If he ran for president as a democrat he would not have been elected because he would not have made it through the primary process.
How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy
He only made it through the Republican primary because the Democrats helped him through it.
The punchline of the last decade has been how neoliberals and reactionaries within the liberal party laid the foundation for a Permanent Republican Majority. Even now, they're more interested in beating back an insurgent popular progressive movement than ousting fascists in their own backyards.
His party affiliation has nothing to do with it.Trump has always been a POS of a human being full stop.
He’s the archetype of the 80s movie developer who wants to tear down the old skate rink or whatever.
I will never understand why some people will go online with their real name and photo and discuss any highly controversial topics, much less politics.
Some combination of the three above is most common in my perspective.
You missed the top one
0 - they are old and or stupid and don't think of the consequences of their actions
I tried soooo very hard to not tie age into that but...
Yeah. :<
If he ran as a Democrat, I'd have never voted for the Democrats again, because they would have stood up and said Trump was acceptable.
I tend to not like felon rapist pedophiles regardless of their political affiliation.
And the Democrat party pretty regulartly ousts members with scandals that dwarf in comparison to Trump's DAILY scandals.
Don't be a partisan hack. Politics isn't rooting for a sport team, nor a rock concert. Don't follow a leader because they are charismatic or likeable. Instead, support policies that reflect your values. Do not follow a person. If someone presents a policy that you support, or multiple policies that you support, embrace the policy for being great. Not the person. People are not superheroes.
Quick reminder that a significant chunk of the MAGA base that isn’t wildly misinformed love him for exactly the reasons you just mentioned. Republican vitriol loves that he spews hated. They delight in how his policies make the right people hurt.
Trump has a long and public history of being a piece of shit.
Turns out people who are fine with Nazis don't even allow for the possibility of principles existing.
If he was running as a democrat would you have voted for a generic republican instead?
I would rather have George Bush back than more Trump. Not that I think he was any good at all.
Imagine, 20 years for now, fondly remembering Trump compared to some completely psychotic asshole Americans are going to elect at that time.
he is despicable at the atomic level
USA seems to have a problem of valuing All people in society
Rob the poor to pay the rich. The American dream
I thought he was playing a character before he ran for president in 2016. Like I never watched The Apprentice, but I saw ads for it and I figured he was just playing an exaggerated asshole clown of a boss.
If Trump had run and won as a democrat in 2016, I probably would have intensely disliked him like I did Biden and HRC, but not hated him like I do now because the democratic party would have steered him in very different ways than the GOP has.
I largely now hate his voters and hope they suffer far more than I hate Trump. Nothing but antipathy for them.
The creature is sub-human.
I don't hate him. He's a typical rich asshole who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
I'd have no problem with him if he spent his time playing golf and sailing yachts, as long as he paid his taxes and would be held accountable for any fraud he commits.
I hate the people who looked at this guy and said "he represents me, I want him in charge". Or "I don't understand what the words communist or fascist mean, I just want him to hurt those other people I don't like".
The people who put him in power are the problem. Without them he would just be another rich asshole saying bigoted shit on social media that we could just ignore. If they didn't put him in the White House, there's at least a chance that he'd be held accountable for his crimes.
His social media posts would be a case of "say whatever you want old man, you're just making yourself look foolish.". Instead he has a platform to make the entire country look foolish.
If the democrats party worshipped a corrupt fascist narcissist, I would be out on the street with my jammer and sickle dancing around the maypole
Some MAGoo said he wanted Trump and not miserable Republicans In Name Only.
Obviously, the MAGoo hadn't noticed that Trump was a Dem for years, except when he tried to run for President on the Reform Party ticket
Although I disagree with most of his politics, that's not the reason I dislike him.
I would never support a pedophile even if they were able to achieve all my political ideals, to me that's just a non-starter and I wish more people felt the same way. At this point the evidence and proven court cases are undeniable.
FUCK OFF AMERICAN POLITICS POSTS
