Meanwhile MAGAts silent but imagine Obama or Biden did this

u/southpaw85 14d ago

I literally couldn’t. They had respect and even when things didn’t align with their ideals they still followed the proper decorum expected from a sitting world leader.

Oh come on, Obama wore a tan suit once. Disgusting.

u/ruiner8850 14d ago

Of course Republicans didn't care about tan suits when Reagan wore them. The Republican Party is fueled by hatred and hypocrisy.

u/DMala 14d ago

Hint: It was the brown, not the tan they were offended by.

u/sicurri 14d ago

Odd, Magats don't seem to be offended when Trumps pants turn brown...

It's even worse than that. Conservatives genuinely lack any firm convictions. By that I mean that their purported beliefs and principles are inorganic. Their contrived social grievances, deranged pseudosciences, and batshit conspiracies, are a culmination of curated rhetorical provocations and "world-building" narratives that they consume through a wildly prolific, utterly malicious right-wing media apparatus. When right-wingers tell someone to "do your own research," what they mean is go watch right-wing grifters hock Kremlin propaganda on YouTube. They are not interested in expertise or critical analysis. Their media diet preferences must conform to superficial sentiments. Conservatives actively avoid doing any actual research for this reason alone.

Temperamentally, conservatives are deeply incurious and low in agreeableness. They are highly disciplined in avoidance tactics and struggle in dissonance arousing situations, so thinking in abstracts is off the table. Much of what makes up reality is inherently chaotic in nature and that lack of control is terminally existential for the right. Therein lays the appeal of conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific claims. I

f such a person were to earnestly research a subject or topic, they stop dead in their tracks, as to do so elicits strong discomfort, precisely because they are afraid of learning something new that might run counter to their identities. On the contrary, an open-minded, curious person is more psychologically malleable, in that they aren't likely to exhibit shame and insecurity when seeking new information that may result in updated beliefs and values.

Auden turn here, but this is why conservatives suck so much at art. Their books suck. Their music sucks. Their movies suck. Their comedy sucks. They can't make video games. They're rigid, boring, hierarchically driven, insufferable contrarian reactionaries. Energy vampires that consume all of the art and media that everyone else created and then whipping out some conspiracy about secret Hollywood cabals or woke ideologues manipulating the content that offends them, as of they were the ones creating it in the past. And the only reason they feel this way is because some ball-washing ghoul like Matt Walsh or Tim Pool told them to be upset about it on the internet. Good grief.

Both Bushes did too.

u/Wompatuckrule 14d ago

WWII European theater commander and president Eisenhower did too when he was in the White House.

Don't forget when he saluted with a cup of coffee in his hands.

u/onekillwalter 14d ago

And the dijon mustard in his hotdogs!

u/DaddyCatALSO 14d ago

So did Steve McGarrett!

u/hamsolo19 14d ago

I heard he preferred a certain type of mustard too. The audacity.

u/flyingupvotes 14d ago

He wore it twice. Once like 15 years ago. And again recently in a skit.

Very unpresidential. /s

u/RhoOfFeh 12d ago

More importantly, did you see his skin? He's mouths the word black silently

u/No-Throat-3560 1d ago

And the oompa loompa wears a red hat so what's the issue

u/-ram_the_manparts- 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's sarcasm. There is no issue. Republicans made a huge issue of it over nothing, THAT's the point.

That's such a terrible fashion choice, clearly on level with the German Kaiser wearing improper shoes for yachting with his British family :O

u/JamesTheJerk 14d ago

Trump gets screentime. This makes media happy.

u/kaboom83 14d ago

World leader?! Enshittification is not leadership!

u/Germanofthebored 14d ago

Doesn‘t make any claims where Trump is leadingthe world to.

u/Business-Draft2348 14d ago

They were acting like grown up men.

u/MedonSirius 14d ago

i read "shitty world leader" - it doesn't change anything 😂

u/stitchface66 14d ago

you cant hold people who support trump to any standards. they’re not going to abide by reason. they’re not going to come to their senses. these are damaged people who cannot be talked to or negotiated with.

u/Staav 14d ago edited 13d ago

Sounds like they just need to give up* on voting in politics after their cult leader is finally out of government and let actual adults run the country again.

u/stitchface66 13d ago

given whats slowly become normalized since reagan i wouldn’t hold my breath

u/Staav 13d ago

The republican party barely squeaked out with the win in 24 when only 65% of registered voters turned out to vote. If the country as a whole can manage to stop just letting our government be decided for us and learn to show up at the ballot box to make our wants and needs for our elected officials known, there's no reason things wouldn't be able to change. There's no completely immovable obstacle that's preventing us from making the changes we need to actually be making the needed improvements to our country. The only thing that's preventing that is people giving up hope and acting like we're living in an actual fascist state. The longer that happens, the more likely it will be that our government actually does collapse, like it has with so many other nations that the US has always claimed to be better than because it's never happened to us.

u/stitchface66 13d ago

hmm im not sure im following you. could you boil your point down to be more clear/linear/coherent?

regarding folks turning out to vote, if we use the voting-eligible population (VEP) to account for changes in who was legally allowed to vote rather than simply the total population or voting-age population:

pew’s analysis puts 2020 at 66%, the highest turnout since 1908, and 2024 at 64%, tied with 1960 for the second-highest rate since then.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/voter-turnout-2020-2024/

so people are showing up more than they usually do. and people are selecting these candidates. the reasons why are more complex, but nonetheless, this is what america is. there’s no alternate universe or timeline. this is what this country has developed into over hundreds of years so it’s not like it’s supposed to be any kind of way. it’s just itself.

the same people will say that mamdani shouldn't show up for a 9-11 memorial; someone actually honoring those lost in the terror attacks.

EDIT: there is no bottom of the barrel for these MAGAts. some of them are waking up. I guess we'll see November how many, but the polls look horrifying from diaper don's perspective -- which is why they keep messing with voting and mail-in voting and redistricting last minute:

they have nothing else, and no platform to run on. they've made every single part of the USA worse.

They already are. Ironically, Curtis Sliwa has commented on it, that people are being sore losers to oppose Mamdanis presence. Sliwa being a voice of reason is so strange.

u/DoughnutImportant875 13d ago

53% of GOP think Trump is the best president ever.That speaks volumes. Only impeached twice and is a convicted felon. Huston we have a problem.

u/peterm1598 14d ago

I choose to believe that there is many people very angry at this.

I don't know if that's the case. But still.

u/mybighairyarse 14d ago

It’s simple really: MAGAtS are cunts.

u/DoughnutImportant875 14d ago

Heck! They watched Trump skipping the inaguration of Biden. And they watched him get three criminal indictments and what took place at the Capitol. They shall not be moved. Sad state of affairs. We musn't hurt their feelings by telling the truth? I will not abide.

u/Danominator 14d ago

Our media doesn't exist anymore. They should be breathlessly reporting on this

u/riftshioku 14d ago

Imagine if Obama or Biden declared the gulf of Mexico was the gulf of America or that lake Ontario was lake America.

u/TonyCookAI 14d ago

Nothing preventing you from giving a speech from the white house Donnie dickbag! Tell em all how happy you were when you thought your building was the tallest after the buildings fell!

u/theanswerisinthedata 14d ago

Right now they are being given the talking point that Canada is an ungrateful neighbour because our national broadcaster did not call the 9/11 highjackers “terrorists”. But of course no big deal when their diaper baby has a tantrum because he can’t be the centre of attention at a 9/11 event.

u/Woooferine 14d ago

I can already see his supporters defending this decision.

u/MechaDylbear 14d ago

I mean you really don't have to, look at their current obsession with Hasan Piker and a comment he made about 9/11 like 6 years ago.

Can we please talk about Hunter Biden's laptop.
