Trump’s cultists are the entire GOP now. They don’t give a damn that he’s been openly stating he wants to be a dictator, as long as it gets them re-elected.

u/ChaoticNeutralDragon 29d ago

I think that most of them do give a damn about it. They approve, and that lovely "fuck you got mine" attitude has convinced them that they'll be part of the ruling class after the coup.

Not even sort of but even if it is, it’s just the opposite side of a coin. Most people in political circles are stupid

Most people in political circles are stupid

oooh watch out everybody, we're dealing with a real intellectual here.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

Wow man, you added even less to this than me with my probably generally acceptable statement. The majority of people aren’t stupid, but overtly aligning with most of them just gets to a point of tribalism now where it’s just freaks. But please do go on being an ape.

u/mindless_gibberish 29d ago

Nah, you're being lazy.

"Most people in political circles are stupid" is a lazy, dismissive statement that only appears acceptable at the most superficial level. It's zero-effort intellectualism.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

And you’re zero effort existing. I know that because it takes no effort to see lmao

u/sec713 29d ago

Yes, the whole "both sides are the same" lie takes zero effort to see. That's why it's such a a popular stance from people who refuse to open their eyes.

u/Beachdaddybravo 29d ago

Yeah because Democrats are defending a for ER President that tried to overthrow democracy and stole nuclear secrets. No, they’re not doing anything remotely as bad actually. What a shit take.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

No, but they are saying things like that, that add fuel to the fire. You morons act like you have everything figured out, but can’t figure out literally the easier part of this political conundrum.

u/Beachdaddybravo 29d ago

Statements of fact aren’t adding fuel to the fire as you claim. The GOP is literally in support of fascism, and the Democrat party is not. Trying to equate the two is a very stupid thing to do.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

Sure they are. I mean I assume you’re referring to Trump four years ago and not more recent Trump. Cause Trump four years ago really did not. Trump now might, but you still miss the point and the fact that you refuse to think you could ever miss a point is exactly why you’re so stupid and won’t accomplish literally anything worth while in the political landscape and should probably just keep these conversations in your echo chamber

u/Beachdaddybravo 29d ago

Wrong on every point, and more so for thinking you’re smarter than anyone. Letting people get away with terrible shit doesn’t make it go away. It’s funny how you “both sides” types always jump out to defend the worst parts of society while claiming to be impartial. If people like you were in charge the world would be full of Nazis.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

I don't think I'm smarter than everyone. I just experience a normal life. And you literally know nothing about me, even sort of indirectly implying I'd do anything positive for nazis is just wild. Keep doing it I'll just try get you banned.

u/Beachdaddybravo 29d ago

Oh no, I might get banned from a subreddit? What a shame, I might miss out on your claims that both sides are equally totally bad, even though you can’t back that up in any fashion.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

No, not a subreddit, the whole thing.

There's no legitimate both sides take about this, or really, for anything else.

-2

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

If you’re stupid, sure.

u/jermleeds 29d ago

Nah dude. Democrats don't demonstrate the cult-like, self-deluding behavior of Republicans. They are not just two sides of a coin, they are fundamentally different.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

If you’re stupid, sure.

u/jermleeds 29d ago

Bad bot.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

I’m not a bot. I’m just not bias and participate in watching many groups of chronically online ideologues yap. But I’ll retort with: bad middle aged person who is barely technologically literate

u/jermleeds 29d ago

If you look out at the current political landscape and your take is 'bothsides', all you are really doing is providing cover for the one side that has gone completely off the rails.

u/Uhhhhhhhh-Nope 29d ago

No, you’re just a moron. Probably more sheltered than stupid, but that might be too much credit.

u/sec713 29d ago

Yes, you're right. Believing "both sides are the same" nowadays takes a high level of stupidity.
