Hey, Trump supporters -- this is what he thinks of you!

[Mr Spinkles]

Well there you go. Take off your mask and get em first!

Haha, good one! Two hundred thousand dead, many more hospitalized, businesses and schools struggling to reopen ... but we don't need to criticize the President for holding packed rallies without masks while protecting himself from the disgusting masses ... no ... what we really need is a good joke. I'm laughing so hard I can barely breathe!

 

[Mr Spinkles]

Look at it this way. Since people without masks are going to literally according to the hype, drop dead in their tracks, its eliminating the competition and you'll be able to wear your mask forever and ever to your hearts content.

Move over COVID, this guy slays. Wait, I've got one: since this is no worse than the flu, Donald Trump should be glad-handing with all his supporters at his rallies. Since kids can't get it, he should be holding babies left and right.

... Get it? Ah, using humor to cope with cognitive dissonance is fun.

 

[Mr Spinkles]

Unfortunately we all live on the same planet as this narcissistic science-denying idiot.

Except the brave men and women of Space Force, you mean. They live on board the starfleet. Pew pew!

Thanks. Why do you say the Democrats haven't changed anything in order to win? The Clintons are out of the picture. Do you think the Democrats should have nominated Bernie Sanders? The cries of socialism would never end and send half the country running into the arms of their orange fascist leader.

I'm not saying "They should have run Bernie." I'm not a Bernie supporter. They shouldn't have publicly back-stabbed Bernie twice, but...not my issue. Bernie and Biden both represent the same party. The parties despise the voters and have difficulty hiding the fact. To win voters a party merely needs to become less extreme, because each claims it must pull the entire nation in an extreme direction. Each offers voters a giant plate of spaghetti and says "Eat this all in five minutes, or this country will be destroyed." The parties can compromise with voters by changing their platforms to be less extreme. Instead they put up a show like they are fighting each other in order to ignore voters, and big money is in control. Big money is in control of this election. Big money is not going to lose no matter who loses. If Bernie opposes this, Bernie gets tossed. If Trump does, Trump gets tossed. Voters are the fifth wheel in the arrangement.

Many people here seem to believe Trump is an actual threat. He's not. Nobody, not Republicans and not the "Basket of deplorables" would let him have a third term. Its a 2 term system. The Democrats this cycle are focused on scare tactics, because Trump is a perfectly scary figure. It is not any different from last election cycle.

Thanks. I still struggle to understand why "the Democrats haven't changed anything in order to win" is more disturbing to you than Trump's comments in the OP, and what specifically you feel the Democrats should be doing to win. They are winning, as it happens (it's still anyone's race of course).

Are you saying Joe Biden is "extreme"?

I just feel like you pivoted from Trump's deplorable comments in the OP to criticizing the Democrats ... but it's unclear that there is real substance to that criticism ... but maybe I'm just misunderstanding you.

What is it the Reps care about a lot that Dems don't? There is a window of opportunity. I'm aware of one: Pro-life versus pro-choice is an example of something that the Democrat voters can compromise on that Republican voters cannot. Changing the platform on this would rearrange the boards. Reps would lose their pro life claim and many votes. Trump would lose his claim to moral high ground with his base. From Democrats I'm hearing that no compromise is needed. They're fine with a 50/50 risk of winning or losing. No compromise in any area.

Are you saying Joe Biden is "extreme"?

The parties can compromise with voters by making their platforms to be less extreme through compromising on party planks. Its not a commentary on Biden.

Its intended to be constructive criticism.

Thanks for clarifying. Food for thought!
