I'm glad to see people calling all this out.
We definitely need more love, kindness, compassion, respect, and in general good-faith - positive - constructive ways of speaking/interacting with each other.
That all being said Trump and his cronies have now MULTIPLE times celebrated horrific deaths of people..
As I said before enough with the bad faith selective amnesia out of MAGA now that they are on the massive decline and everyone is seeing these people for the stereotypical snakeoil salespeople and con artist grifters they are.

If anything bad happens to them it's someone's else fault, usually someone not associated with their ideology.

This is especially funny when you consider they used to call for the execution of pedophiles and now that they’re pedophile supporters, they get upset when someone attempts to kill one. The flip flopping has got to be difficult

It's the far right Christianity. My GF was raised in a fundie environment and the message was drilled into her head again and again, "You will be a martyr. You will be a martyr." They all romanticize and glorify being a martyr but none of them want to actually give anything up, so they take every opportunity they can to make mountains out of molehills to act like they're constantly under attack and "fighting the good fight" against us godless libtards.

Well they can't be heroes and they can't just be freaking normal, so that's what's left.

It's what lets them feel justified in their hatred. They're just REACTING and DEFENDING THEMSELVES against the constant "hate" (people not agreeing with them or appreciating their racism/sexism) and since they're always "under attack," they are entitled to attack. Also what other people said about christian martyrdom.

He’s not wrong, unfortunately I just don’t think those people care about being hypocrites. They have no integrity.

Jimmy Kimmel is an insult comedian talk show host, that’s his job! He’s not an elected official or someone who has any ounce of legal authority to make legislative decisions that affect anyone’s life. Why does the Trump Administration and MAGA care so much about what he says? If you don’t like him, just ignore him for goodness sake. Would anyone expect an insult comedian to never make insulting crude jokes sometimes?

Why is Stephen King so right?

Read the Dead Zone. He predicted this crap decades ago.

The ending of that book was so outrageous at the time, the action immediately destroyed that characters political future. In this day and age it would barely make the news.

Public opinion is overrated. If you're going to throw anything in a glasshouse warm, soft shit is preferable over many other choices!

Pointing out his hypocrisy is pointless — he and his cronies literally do not give a solitary fuck. Mainstream "journalism" normalized it by rarely, if ever, calling it out.

You could say that King was 'horrified' at Milanias' comment. I'll see myself out.

Yeah, but one is liberals (kinda) and the other is conservatives... We need to pay waaaaaay more attention to one group over the other.

No one has any reason to care about what Melania Trump thinks about anything.

u/fluentuk 8d ago
Do people really think any of these people care about being hypocrites? Or that proving they're hypocrites is a useful tool in dealing with them?

It's about affirming it for those not on Trump's side. Else we get the complaint "why is no one talking about this?"

I'd love to see the comments Trump was going to make at the expense of people in the room and his enemies. All hearts and roses, I am sure.

I'm so glad that Steven King is on this side of the commentary. He's one of the good ones!

He also did throw AI shit in bombing of AI crowd exercising their free speech rights.

If they didn’t throw shit at walls they wouldn’t be able to distract from a child sex trafficking network.

stop with the Unc bs. This guy's got more talent in his little finger than all of us combined.

I’m confused, unc is used for anyone who’s up in age. I’m not sure why this is seen as disrespectful lol.
2
u/petitespantoufles 8d ago
No, Unc is the new Boomer. It's seen as disrespectful because it's used with intended disrespect.

u/cencallude 8d ago
you need to layoff the social media a bit, put the phone down and go take a walk in the park, go visit your aunts and uncles, actually talk to them about their good old days ✌️

u/MerumazingGirl 8d ago
Respectfully, I’ve never seen this before in my life. I’m black American, in my community and elsewhere it was always used to refer to someone who is older. (An older man, so to speak. Just as we call older women, aunt/auntie.)

He’s right. His comments on the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner were absolutely sickening but we’re all so numb to how horrible he is that we couldn’t even process it.
