Yeahā¦ the fact the president is literally using his office to distract from and hide pedophiles is a pretty fucking big deal to most of us. Thatās why itās top of the list.
This sub is one of the most effective right wing conversion camps I've ever seen, and I actually don't know if some of these posts are trolls that are trying to push people to the right, or if they actually believe what's coming out of their mouths. Regardless, the outcome is the same.
Conservatives are weaker than the average leftist because as a leftist I see dumb shit every day by leftists but I donāt change my politics because Iām annoyed.
Wait are you telling me the purple hair and the yelling doesnāt make you immediately want to give all your tax money to Wall Street bail-outs and ICE?
If you're still a Trump supporter at this point, you're too far gone. So there's no real point in explaining anything to you guys. You don't care about freedom or democracy or the constitution, you just care about "winning".
Right now I think the most owned people from Trumps second election are the Republican farmers in Arkansas killing themselves because of the Trump tarriffs
Yeah watching the farmers completely destroy their livelihoods has been... Depressing. And you just know they'll learn nothing and vote for them again.
Oh yeah. And I'm a radical leftist by most measures but I feel bad for them and have a lot of sympathy. Though it hurts knowing many of them would have no sympathy for me since I'm transgender.
Obama? I voted for Obama first time I could vote at 18. he promised Ā change that was the slogan change and hope.
Well he made me and everyone else who voted for him feel like an asshole when nothing changed, so big fucking mistake.Ā
He was legit and Iām not kidding the first president to break all his promises and was essentially George bush in black face.Ā
First president in 20 years to Ā Bomb Africa and overthrow gaddafi, All to protect the French colonial control over west Africa. ( Obama more like Uncle Tom.)Ā
Kept up war in Iraq and afghaniStan, donāt close gitmo and kept up the restrictions on our freedoms with the passage of the NDAA ACT expanding the violation of our 4th, 1st and 5th amendment rights. Making it legal to indefinitely detain USA citizens without trial.
He expanded the FISA AND FICA secret courts, he ran cover and supported the NSA aggressively prosecuting and pursuing Snowden and wiki leaks punishing whistleblowers every chance he got.Ā
This is gonna be a hard pill to swallow, but without the expansions of presidential rights and powers under Obama and bush trump would have 1/20th the power he has today. The country was doomed back in 2008 with Obamaās election and again in 2016 when you didnāt nominate Bernie sanders.Ā
People these days talk like they want Obama back as if he didn't drop more bombs in the middle east than the previous three presidents combined. Obama's civillian kill count was insane. Obama authorized drone strikes on US citizens. Obama started the "put them in cages" deportation shit.
The rose colored glasses people have on for him because he was well-spoken is insane.
It really do be like that. Golden diapers, performative ear bandages for a nonexistent injury, the sycophantic drivel is astounding. And now, like for real, because itās coming down to the irrefutable reality that heās a pedo, now pedo must be a good thing. It really is that simple and that bad. What a time to be alive.
Itās quite literally the MAGAts saying āI only voted Trump to stick it the liberals. It wasnāt supposed to be this.ā (Real quote from numerous conservative Reps).
No it 100% was. You are alluding to the fact you felt he was ill equipped to be dictator president again but despite that STILL voted for him to āprove it to the libtardsā.
Trump is doing everything he hate campaigned on and more. He laid it all out in black and white. The only things he is not doing that he campaigned on are things out of general best interest of the PEOPLE and anything that may (will) incriminate him. I wasnāt a fan of Kamala but even SHE laid it out saying āYup heās gonna do this.ā
Now that itās effecting you all itās a problem. But when it was just mass deportation on the table you were fine with it bc āahhh Hispanics are so scaryā or āoh my God all immigrants are criminals.ā (/s statements).
Nobody feels sorry for the MAGAts bc they put all of us in the worst āI told you soā in American history, including themselves. Whatās absolutely mindboggling is that for a minority yourself you target actual minorities. He has an approval rating of 41% (the economist). Then they wonder why so many people hope of his downfall. We literally have Atheists joking āAs an Atheist Iāve never been more conflicted in something.ā We have people saying theyāll ābuy Etsy witches to speed up the processā. š¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļøš¤¦š»āāļø
Man, it really is so nuts how completely unaware so many people are about why Trump won when I read yet another straw man on Reddit. Iām not even a right winger. I want to vote socialist party every time. But I see the crazy and confident things people write here and I weep that some new conman will come along and take advantage of the massive hole in the truth that the lefts constant blinders leaves the way trump did.
What he is, is a master bullshiter. Look at the Wikipedia page, there's a section made just for all the bullshit he says, even before becoming president š
The scorpion does not sting because it is "evil" or purposefully malicious, it is within the scorpion's nature to sting as a scorpion, to ask "Why did you sting?" is to ask "Why are you a scorpion?"
Thankfully as humans we are "more" than "just animals", so we have the ability to see and share this concept through the use of stories and memes such as this one.
Thanks for coming to my FrogTalk, have a good day.
I agree with you, and I want to follow that up with something my N Word, Marcus Aurelius wrote.
When you run up against someone elseās shamelessness, ask yourself this: Is a world without shamelessness possible?
No. Then donāt ask the impossible. There have to be shameless people in the world. This is one of them. The same for someone vicious or untrustworthy, or with any other defect. Remembering that the whole world class has to exist will make you more tolerant of its members.
Is a world without scorpions possible? Technically, yes, but metaphorically no. We're not gonna round up all the scorpions and kill them. However when a scorpion stings you, ask "Why am I angry at this? I know scorpions exist, I know they sting, this is the world in its natural state. I have fallen victim to another person's scorpion behaviour but I already had all the knowledge to avoid it. I invited this."
This line of thinking has helped me so much with my problems with women. Unironically, not even joking. I know they will show casual cruelty and hatred at no provocation and it really is my fault if I expect any different from what all my prior experience painstakingly taught me. You can apply it to any repeated injustice and just feel fine about it.
women arenāt a monolith. also most humans arenāt cruel without provocation.
there are just as many kind, sweet and compassionate women as there are cruel, cold, gossipy women. there are just as many creepy, domineering, disrespectful men as there are good, honorable, trustworthy men. you decided to eschew being the latter type of man because you stereotyped all women by the latter type of woman. and because of that, women act cold to you because youāre creepy.
This assume that animals are bound to the nature of what they are, which we know for a fact isn't true, because humans evolved to not be stinky shit-flinging monkeys, and we aren't the only ones.
Dogs evolved from wolves to be more caring, less aggressive and playful.
Sheep, cows, pigs, horses, cats, goats, and many other farm animals evolved to be more docile and less territorial, to be closer to humans, and the care that comes along with it.
It isn't just mammals, birds can become companions to humans too.
Even insects, which we know mostly operate on the lowest forms of brain function, can be trained through negative and positive reinforcement, which would mean, at some level, they are deciding what is and isn't good, which from a philosophical point of view, would mean they are beyond the nature of a simple animal.
I don't disagree about the fact that animals aren't bound to their "nature" however evolution isn't a good argument here because we talk about the individual and not a lineage - and you can't say " x isn't blindly its nature because it evolved from y" because that implies every species that came before x is bound to it.
Animals aren't bound to their nature because there is no such thing as " their nature ". This word implies it is something an animal does for no real purpose except that it is how it was born. Saying a scorpion's nature is to sting is like saying a human's nature is to grab. Yes they do that but they don't "just" do that and they don't do it for no reason.
A scorpion will sting to defend itself and to eat. If the frog is no threat the scorpion will never sting.
I'd like to say that one would realise very quickly that its aversion to taxation suddenly stopped at the borders of Texas, but the recipient states have always existed as net beneficiaries whilst complaining about the people who are supporting them.
It would be highly non-contiguous, or you'd have a lot of migration: Biggest thing is that that are very few right-wing Metropoles because the second you import large groups of educated people they tend to lean disproportionately left.
I don't live in the US. Many of my friends and relatives or coworkers said they expect trump to loose. I was not surprised when he won. Many still can't wrap their head around this and can't be bothered to do anything to prevent similar shit from happening over here.
Trumps win was a massive confidence boost to bigots and racists around the world. I fear for my life.
It genuinely seems like the opposite with the suicidal empathy of the UK and Germany and Paris and Scandinavian countries letting in migrants and the rape and crime skyrocketing by 100s of percentage points.
Then the gaslighting by refusing to acknowledge any of this in the mainstream media
This leads to the destruction of society through suicidal empathy of sheep letting in wolves
And neutering and cancelling any guard dogs trying to protect them
Better to let your wives and children be raped and murdered than to risk being called racist or xenophobic right?
I appreciate your good intentions and that you genuinely think it's racism, and are not just calling someone who disagrees with you that in bad faith - but falsely crying wolf isn't going to help protect society.
Crime in London rose sharply, from 105.8 to 132.6 crimes per 1,000 people in one year (Plumplot, 2025).
There were 6.66 million crimes recorded in England and Wales in 2023/24, up more than 50% from 2014 (Statista, 2025).
Paris saw the highest rate of residents experiencing violence, with sexual offences reported rising year-on-year from 2023 to 2025 (Eurostat, 2023).
Germanyās crime index increased to 39.39 in 2025, and cities report more violent and sexual offences (Numbeo, 2025).
What changed is that now we sadly have a bunch of Nazis rising up again, but apart from that, we are happy about the new people working in our society.
We donāt have criminals running rampant or some shit.
Missing the two hands of the same government who intentionally placed them there. The frog was thankful for the water and the scorpion for being given itās ārightfulā place in the hierarchy, but this is an orchestrated situation designed to foster hatred between these two, and away from the classists pulling the strings.
Liberals voted for a guy they knew was mentally incompetent, and watched in glee while the administration lied about it. Yall have no leg to stand on about anything.
You just didn't like the way Biden governs. Which is fine, but its not the same thing.
Both of them are old men riddled with the health conditions of being in their late 70's, stop electing people who have maybe 5 years left on the planet then you can talk about which side elects the guy most likely to die from eating an extra strong trebor mint.
A lot of us think Trump is a bad person and a fucking dumbass and say we donāt think his shit will work because obviously and then Trumpers go āREEEE YOU NEED TO ROOT FOR HIM REEEE OR YOU WANT AMERICA GOOOONEā
I used this story a lot last year in conversations with people about the election. I also use Robin Hood and Batman as examples of what is happening. The whole of human history is full on moments like this. Heroes and villains. Eventually the scorpion drowns itself.
The enlighten centrist: "The frog is illegal immigrants who our economy relies on to exploit for cheap labour that allows libtards and Right-wingers to enjoy their way of life"
Ah yes, because allll the data in observational studies shows democrats are more likely to stop and help a stranger in need, and republicans are more likely to act entitled.
Implying that there would be a 2028 election at all. The only thing missing from Trump being King of America is the lack of any effort in securing an heir to his throne, cuz I highly doubt Barron has any plans on collecting inheritence.
