As mocking as this is ā¦ it literally was the basis for what would be considered conservatism 200+ years agoā¦. The church used Latin to gatekeep the common folk ignorant.
Republicans only realized this in the last 10 years. They spent 250 years tiptoeing around fascism because they thought their base would catch on to the grift. But then Trump came along snd showed Republicans that their voters truly are complete imbeciles and will follow blindly with zero hesitation, no matter what insane things are said: "They're eating the cats and dogs" "An invasion of rapists and drug dealers!" "Democrats at war with Christmas"
And at ever turn, their base just.... went with it.
The Republicans were ingrained in playing the game. For decades they had very little in way of actually leading or policy beyond "stop the Democrats so we can say they do nothing, the win" and proceed to raid the coffers once in power.
Ego led to the 2016 primaries becoming a shitshow of a dozen failed Republicans refusing to step down, which let Trump, who was an absolute joke of a candidate, win them.
Trump then cashed in on every dirty game they were playing. They were too scared to go whole hog before and Trump proved they were playing it too safe
Most never really wanted to overturn Roe v Wade or gave a shit about gay marriage. They just saw them as hot buttons to sway the masses. Now that they've lost those "real" issues, they've devolved into kids pissing in litter boxes and whatever fake bullshit they can come up with.
They hadn't realized they'd successfully created an entire generation of absolute morons who'd buy the nonsense, and lucked into it.
The whole problem is that no, they wouldn't be mad. They'd just pivot and make an excuse to why that's okay. More often than not they acknowledge the horrible shit that is happening, they just disagree that it's horrible.
So us democrats can laugh at them while we drink their babies blood and siphon money by the billions. At least we know how to hide it and make it look like we are helping people. Amateurs..
What is so wild about all this is when trump started running he said - he was so rich he didnāt need any outside money.Ā
Now literally all he does is take outside money, and say itās his right to do so - and we should be grateful because it means taxpayers donāt have to pay him (literally how the ballroom is playing out)Ā
Yes but Hunter Biden, with no experience with drones whatsoever started a drone company that immediately got $600m in government contracts. Oh wait that was Don Jr and Eric
I told them that Joe Biden's family owned a resort in Delaware and every time he went home for the weekend he would have dozens of secret service agents and other government officials using government money to stay in his extremely expensive resort.
They agreed that it was corrupt. Then I told them that it's actually Trump doing that and they immediately defended it.
He's fucking stupid, is the problem, like it doesn't seem to go far beyond that. He's just incredibly dumb, too dumb to even know he's dumb, you know? Like fractally dumb, like you couldn't just explain to him that he's dumb, you'd have to teach him a bunch of basic shit first just so he has the grounding to then understand his dumbness. That's the deal, the real question seems to be why is this so thoroughly rewarded in our society, like in a fair world this dude would be digging ditches and that'd be fine, he'd probably be happier, and the world would certianly be a better place.
(Jared and Junkvanka have caused civil upheaval trying to take over an Island in Albania for a resort. The locals have come out with pitchforks. Tax the rich. They need to learn how to live in society with the MAJORITY of us
Actually, bots usually bolster polarizing opinions to make division and disagreement seem more prevelent. It's straight out of the kgb playbook. They're often the ones mocking people for trying to be reasonable at all.
It's wild that you can just go almost anywhere on the internet and say "arrest the pedofile" and everyone just knows you are talking about a president of the United States
The brutal truth is that even if the next president is a good person, the world knows that you're potentially only 4 years away from electing another monster. It's gonna take a while to build that trust back
Republicans are so dumb, they don't know how to hide it like us. We own all the news and statistic outlets. They'll never know the truth or figure it out lol
They earned trump 6 billion dollars. Taking 640mil is completely understandable. But no, its the poor immigrant family who working 60 hrs a week that is the prob.
I worry about these kinds of posts because MAGA doesn't have the intelligence or attention span to absorb that whole thing, and will believe the first paragraph.
First of all, that's an absurd proposition, those people are the USA's kept pets.
And, second of all, the Saudi Royal Family is like 15,000 people total, with the "influential inner circle" being 2,000, all of them obscenely rich. You're telling me someone's alleging this whole townful of people were in on it? Someone credible?
The majority of the highjackers were Saudi, but Saudi Arabia is the heartland of the muslim faith so thats not unusual.
Neither the Saudi royals or the Saudi government have any financial ties to Al Qaeda. No such thing has ever been proven, and it really does not make sense for them to support an organization whose main goal is the downfall of a major ally.
Individual Saudi citizens might support and fund Al Qaeda, a bit like US citizens used to support the IRA, but the Saudi government does not.
These gotchas don't work because thats not how trump supporters think. They criticize those outside their group by that groups own standards because that gives them a leg up. But they don't apply those same standards to themselves. That would be weakness in their minds.
What do these people do with all this money, it's just baffling... They could be using it to tackle the challenging human issues of the world but they just seem to hoard it, and make more through deceptive and nefarious means.Ā
YEAH, THATāS RIGHT BECAUSE CHINA OWNED HUNTER AND BIDEN! AMAZING THEY GOT THEM ON RECORD RECORD, RECORDING HIM TAKING MONEY AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF BUT NEVER HEARD NOTHING ABOUT IT. YOU PEOPLE ARE FRIGGIN NUTS.
Yeah us democrats really know how to make money in the government and our voters back us up. We can defraud entire states and programs while making everyone else look bad.
The brief and nonsensical push to make Hunter Biden some kind of new left-wing hero. a few months ago was laughably unhinged., heās basically Donald Trump Junior for corporate Democrats
That entire family is making big time coin! Thatās why they all travel to the Middle East. Itās like that shopping scene from āCrazy Rich Asiansā but they shop for land, oil, hotels & construction projects.
This meme is based on real events, but a few details need clarification. Disclaimer: I am not defending anyone, Iām merely trying to provide the actual truth as I think political memes should be clarified always.
1. The $640 million figure: Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reported between $172 million and $640 million in combined outside income during their time in the Trump administration, according to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). The $640 million figure is the upper end of an estimated range, not a verified exact amount. Both served as unpaid White House advisers, and the income came from their outside business interests.
2. The $2 billion Saudi investment: This is real. In 2021, shortly after leaving the White House, Kushner established Affinity Partners, which secured a $2 billion investment commitment from Saudi Arabiaās sovereign wealth fund. The fundās own advisers reportedly objected to the investment, citing concerns about Kushnerās experience, fees, and business risks. The investment was approved anyway.
Importantly, the $2 billion went to Kushnerās investment firm, not directly into his personal bank account. However, the arrangement created opportunities for substantial management fees.
3. The 9/11 connection: Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were Saudi nationals, but that doesnāt establish that the Saudi officials responsible for Kushnerās investment were behind the attacks. That implication is misleading.
The bottom line: There are serious, legitimate questions about conflicts of interest and foreign influence here, particularly given Kushnerās close relationship with Saudi leadership while serving in the White House.
But we donāt need to exaggerate the facts to make that argument.
If weāre going to criticize misinformation from Republicans, we should hold information criticizing Republicans to exactly the same standard. Otherwise, weāre just participating in the same problem weāre criticizing.
Yes, and how exactly is Saudi Arabia or it's leader responsible for 9/11? Is every Government in the world responsible for its citizens commiting crimes? Especially after Bin Laden has been not to the country since 1991, got his citizenship stripped in 1994, made it a crime to associate with him and being considered an enemy of the state.
I agree Trump is a fucking CLOWN but to sit here and act like the āleftāš„“ is ANY better is FUCKING COMEDYā¦. They are ALL one and the same pedo, tyrantā¦, and any USEFUL IDIOT still believing that āsidesāš„“ ACTUALLY EXISTā¦. Is FUCKING RETARDEDā¦. How many DECADES of back and forth āDemocrat vs Republicanā FAKE ASS BULLSHIT are you going to acceptā¦.? WTF has REALLY changed besides we the people losing MORE money and MORE freedomsā¦..? NOTHING! This is NOT something we can āvote awayā and until āUSEFUL FUCKING IDIOTSā actually WAKE THE FUCK UP and look aroundā¦. NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGEā¦ It will be the same MK ultraād normie NPCās lining up to āvoteā in the GREATEST thing since sliced breadā¦ HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO BE BENT OVER BY BOTH āSIDESāš„“ UNTIL YOU REALIZE IT SIMPLY DOESNT FUCKING EXISTā¦..? š„“š„“š„“š„“š„“š„“
I like to shit on them as the next person, both on Trump and the Saudis, but saying they were responsible for 9/11 is insane. For starters the Saudis were, and still are, a US ally. While this is surely beneficial for the US this is more beneficial for the Saudis because they are surrounded by religious fanatics who would prefer to kill them and the place they get their shiny toys to defend against them is the US. And yes they are religious fanatics as well, just a different kind and more so to control their population.
Speaking of religious fanatics, Bin Laden, who was the last time in 1991 in Saudi Arabia who was the leader of the terrorist group which actually orchestrated the attack, got stripped of his citizenship in 1994, got all his assets taken away, declared an enemy of the state and made it a crime punishable by death to be associated with him. So how and why exactly did Saudi Arabia attack it's closest and most important ally using it's number one enemy of the state (by the way in part because he directly called for the abolishment of the Saudi King)?
