The narratives about Trump thread

I’m starting to develop PTSD symptoms that I’m not sure any replacement euphemism is going to be able to cure.

Problematic?

@politbureau

So now that shithole has been added to the list of forbidden words what are we supposed to tell ourselves when we find ourselves in some shithole?

@Dr_Milker

You’re supposed to start a charity, appeal to liberal guilt (and the desire of autocrats to whitewash their image), line your pockets, and then spend your time bitching about evil, heartless conservatives.

Either that, or create a major segment for CNN showcasing upbeat, inspiring stories from the region that nobody will watch (like the ones they have about Africa and the Middle East).

Or. You can also do what most Democrats do: paint half their face blue, set each other’s hair afire, and run amok while screaming about Trump the anti-Christ.

Sounds like a real shitshow. Oops…

Just don’t tell me I can’t say ‘illegal immigrant’ anymore or my head is going to explode.

But, but…they just misplaced their papers. And “undocumented” is, frankly, a little insensitive. I prefer the term “document challenged.”

[politbureau]

I just wish we could all agree that if you lose control of your borders, sabotage your own legal system and then tell millions of your fellow citizens that they’re now your enemy because they won’t go along that the end is probably in sight.

[IbisWtf]

THAT’S THE REAL THING. That’s exactly what happened! Holy carp!

[IbisWtf]

Imagine my shock.

Your a victim of theories

Chile is a theory?

@JB_IN_TW

I guess that is what happens when your only news source are 3am tweets from an orange skinned wannbe and Breitbart.

Good thing I know how to rationalize.

No kidding!

Your analysis of the financial and economics is a perfect example. You failed to acknowledge, address or whatever you want to call it, the main difference of the Trump administration and all the previous administrations before him, at least for the past few decades. Which is an emphasis on American first and less of a reliance on the Chamber of Commerce globalist guidance that favored Corporations.

You are still buying the idea that your messiah is a man of the people and this line, and you are alluding that I am delusional? That is rich.

You still haven’t learnt that you are talking to people here. I watched ted Cruz make an ass of himself shutting down the government in , what was it, 2013? What a twat, who gets up and reads Dr. Suess and think that everyone watching doesn’t think he’s a cunt. It would take a great deal to change my opinion of him now.

The Democrats shut down the Government this time, over illegal immigrants. Even Trump couldn’t have imagined they would be so stupid. Now the Democrats need to deal with being complete twats.

My position is the same, shutting down the government is by and large a very stupid thing to do, same when the Republicans did it, same now when the Democrats do it.

Trump was already waiting for them

"Complicit"

You know, he brags that he has the power of the pen and he could make an EO to get what he wants. With a alt-GOP led congress and SC, and successfully demonizing the media that disagrees with him. He has nothing to fear, except he feels he must blame the minority.

At least Ted Cruz owned his shutdown, the Democrats have become so disgusting they cant even own what they created. I have leaned left my entire life, but I will have nothing to do with what the left has become in the US.

So you’re saying you now support concentration camps? #strawmanintensifies #exposed #resist

Get’s you called a lot of names, that’s for sure. never realized just how filled with hate the current left is anyway.

Didn’t used to be that way, hippies back in the 60’s , smoke a bong, eat some shrooms, all good. Todays lot are fascists, punching kicking spiting while at the same time calling themselves anti fascists.

We got a brainwashed generation graduating from University who at least are suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

The left has moved so far left from reacting to trump like idiots that I look like I’m on the right to them now.

Don’t take it personally. The American left is truly crazed right now, and likely to be even more unhinged when government starts up again.

Unsolicited advice is Mick’s, upthread. As an American you’ll likely confront this kind of partisanship throughout your life. Just keep your eye on what you believe instead of a political party. The key is using your own life experience, your convictions, and what you determine is ‘right’ as your pole star.

Do that and you’ll be fine.
