President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at

I thought it missed the mark because it was condescending, dismissive, and gendered. Men project their own weaknesses onto women.

half of reddit is people mentioning how their mom insisted on cooking the turkey even though she wasn't the one hosting thanksgiving and dozens of comments with everyone saying that they need to cut that karen out of their lives forever

It’s important to note that Reddit serves a similar yet opposite purpose to Twitter. While there are certainly real people saying real dumb ****, it’s also -50% bots and full of sock puppets paid to incite

You have to get pretty niche to find decent conversation and even then it’s not really worth it

I can’t believe Reddit stock is doing so well but I guess they are raking in ad dollars

You can’t tell me there aren’t some California women who have Gavin on their cheat sheet

A comment can be both condescending and factually correct. In this case, however, I suspect the comment was condescending and factually incorrect. Other than perhaps height, I'm not sure the appearance of male candidates matters much at all. Our recent enthusiasm for electing septagenarians certainly suggests that it isn't a big factor. But to the extent it matters at all, I suspect it is a factor for a higher percentage of male voters than female voters.


Yeah, I understand that, big brain, and I respect you, but I’m going the extra step and putting this and past statements together to make a judgment which I stand by

Condescending and factually incorrect is called bias and I’m naming his


“Big brain” said with love of course

That's fine. I wasn't attacking or defending your characterization of crd. I simply was giving my opinion that he was factually incorrect.


And I’m assigning a motive

That’s what you quoted anyway

But fine

Toss up a few examples you'd be comparing against.

In my lifetime Nixon and Johnson would be on the list.

I ain't no historian, but for the sake of discussion I'll accept whatever folks who spend their lives studying this stuff conclude. (Assuming there is an overwhelming consensus on who the most corrupt POTUS is/was.)


by Montrealcorp

I personally love it .
Just shows how easy it is to copy trump and that it doesn’t mean competency.

FWIW once u get the only weapon trump got (trolling) out of his hands , what’s left for him to do ?

Arguing on the merits of his actions ? lol.

I can't stand Gruesome Newsom, but this makes sense to me.


by Crossnerd

People think it’s so clever but all Newsom has done is give up the moral high ground and trivialize serious harm. It’s ****ing stupid.

Except Newsom probably couldn't spell 'moral high ground.' You can't 'give up' what you never had.


by Crossnerd

We are truly ****ing lost if low-brow parodies have become our preferred form of resistance

Not sure why 'low-brow parodies' can't be one among many tools in the toolbox.


by Rococo

I honestly am surprised that you or anyone else believes this. I am 100% certain that this is exactly the style of politics that Trump wants. He does everything in his power to bait his political opponents into non-substantive mudwrestling and juvenile trolling.

Except bullies like Trump can't take what they dish out.


by Crossnerd

What the actual **** is wrong with you

What's 'wrong' with CRD is that he is a pragmatic realist.

To be clear, I hope the Dems continue to campaign like it's 1996 and lose another 20 House seats in 2026, and then lose in a landslide to J. D. Vance in 2028.

Looking forward to an 8-2 conservative court by 2036.

Im sure Trump won't be able to handle some ill mannered anti trump tweets from the libs.


by Trolly McTrollson

If you think Newsom's politics are ineffective, that's a horse of a different color. I thought we were talking about this:If Newsom's antics increase his chances of stopping Trump (that's a big if, granted) then he should absolutely keep doing that. That's my point. Stopping Nazism should be your first, last, and only objective as a politician in 2025. Big disagree.

THIS!!!!

I think he'll overreact to some of them. Trump does not take criticism well.


by Crossnerd

Maybe, but he’s also a casual misogynist

Then again, what guy isn't in this forum?

And you're a serious man-hater*.

Over correct in what direction? How exactly has he taken the criticism of the last eight years?

Edit: ah, overreact. But still not sure how he will overreact in a way that makes things better but who knows.

100% agree.

It’s not logical to use reasoning to win the heart of people that aren’t reasonable and logical .
You can try but you need more .

If this latest troll tactic by Newsom doesn't produce the results he desires, he can just stop stop using it.

Like I said earlier, it's one of many tools in his toolbox to try to separate himself from his rivals.


I think I need a break.

I'm agreeing with Montreal, Coordi and Trolly, and that can't be a good sign!

😀

Like only the U.S. themselves could have knock themselves out (congrats maga) .
Only trump can knockdown trump , hopefully pushing him to the edge could make trump do a very very very very stupid thing .
Yeah it takes a lot of very but hey we never known…
Trump could actually be stupid enough to do it on a bad day shrug .

Probably because you are not maga and you are an example of who could actually changes his mind vs abysmal actions from trump.
