Guarantee you they'll still choose wrong. Too proud and stubborn and self-centered to admit someone other than them was right. They will literally commit direct evil acts rather than entertain the notion that someone else might have a point.

Pretty sure just "moron" will do. Although doubtless the Germans have a very specific and cutting term for it that describes the exact scenario perfectly. 😁

Ah yes, Roko's Basilisk. The wannabe intellectual's introduction to deep existential dread. 😆 It's quite telling that interacting with the so-called dangerous thought still doesn't deter them from continuing the dangerous behavior or supporting those who do. Even fear does not teach them caution.

I'm well aware of that. Which is exactly why the right will stupidly try to continue some narrative about his health, like that matters, to distract from Trump's. That was the entire point of my post - their hypocrisy and deflection. Every accusation a confession.

How do Republicans still not understand that video footage or their past statements exists, or that the internet is forever? These dumb fucks keep trying to pass off old photos as new and it takes us like 8 seconds to find the recycle. We are truly being governed by the stupidest people alive.

America doesn't have real media outlets anymore. Just propaganda agencies. You can't rely on any of them to tell the truth or ask tough questions. All they do is push the oligarch agenda. Real news comes from independent sources. Not one outlet is demanding info on Trump. NOT ONE. Think about that.

Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it

Live video footage from a credible news source that isn't taken from a hundred yards away, or I refuse to believe it's actually him. I want a long form note from an independent medical professional certifying he's really alive. Otherwise, he's dead and the GOP are running the country w/o authority.

Exactly. Reposts of old pictures and videos proves nothing. Reporters in Washington should be demanding proof. We need live video footage on a real news network, not from 100's of yards away. Until and unless we get that, he's already dead and they're covering up while they consolidate their power.

The actions of him and his team are valuable for showing GOP hypocrisy & weakness to criticism. But that DOESN'T make him a leader. His treatment of the homeless is shameful, among many other reasons. We can recognize & adopt his smart plays w/o fawning over him or turning him into the chosen one.

People with dementia often do better with routine. They probably don't want him actually interacting with people because it's getting even more obvious.

He doesn't respect them though, that's the point. He hates them because lots of people look up to them and see them as heroes, and in his dark little heart he KNOWS everyone hates him.
