No it is pretty close

By the way if you like Hamilton, this was actually funny

Is it?

I literally don't ever remember someone saying they would happily die for their president before (short of maybe some military or secret service thing, I'm talking your average dude).

Not sure I agree unless you're being very liberal with the term "degree" there.

There's a million images of the hateful crap coming out of Parler you can see, that I don't think we saw before.

Have people called President their king before? Have they supported military taking over the government and arresting the people who don't support him? Say we are cool with fascism for a short time, before getting back to the proper conservative democracy? Literally calling him their savior and Jesus?

Look at how many believe this is rigged and the courts are also conspiring against him. Has that ever happened before? That they would willingly lay down their lives for them?

FFS, people are talking about how his master plan involved his lawyers putting typos all over their documents to get people in. People talking about assassinating and beheading Fauci.

I don't think we've seen anything like this before.

All while he has lied to everyone for years.

edit: If this is just social media making it obvious now, and these people always existed, I'm definitely willing to look at any evidence and admit I was wrong.

a lot of people have believed every president

every president lies habitually

every president gets donations(grifts their followers for money)

people believe and donate to every president

people love every president and say he wouldn't lie to them

the last part "that they'd do anything for him" maybe not as much

I think you're trying wayyyyyyyyyy to hard to both sides an issue by presenting false equivalencies.

Yes, both are bad and immoral, but I don't think we've ever experienced something to this degree.

"both sides" never even entered my head. there is one side. rich, powerful people.... and that side exploits everyone else


all the presidents have been rich, powerful people who exploit workers. trump is no different in that regard. his lies are more buffoonish. but it's just a matter of degree on how the various presidents lie and exploit the people who follow them.

Sure, and the degree is vastly different here.

Anyways, again, no real productive conversation here between us two on this, I think. I've never seen people in my life saying we should execute and imprison people who disagree with the guy who just lost an election in our country. Or all that other stuff I quoted above.

I think this is far more like a cult than anything we've ever seen with the Presidency before.

It's cool we disagree, though.

Not my president went in for 4 years


Your blind hypocrisy is adorable

I read that post just because I knew it would confirm what I was saying all along. The mental gymnastics it takes to equate not my president with executing political opponents is something you only find from a brainwashed cult member.

The left made up Russia conspiracy and forced fake concessions

Madonna said shed blow up the Whitehouse

Kathy griffin cut off trumps head in comedy shows

Plays were made about executing Trump

Twitter had to eventually ban posts wishing for trumps death and the left complained

Tik tok .. a site where young kids make videos, had to ban videos depicting trumps death

Here's more

“I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar a Lago!” tweeted former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell, excitedly wishing death and destruction on the thousands who work and live near Trump’s Florida property.

Trump-Haters Branded 'Despicable' For Wishing Death on President and Melania

U.S. DONALD TRUMP MELANIA TRUMP CORONAVIRUS
Those welcoming President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump's COVID diagnosis have been branded "despicable" after sharing negative messages targeting them on social media.



Trump announced in the early hours of Friday he and Melania had tested positive and would be isolating following this.

World leaders have shared messages of support, while Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said he and wife Jill would be praying for the president and first lady.


Amid this, some who dislike the president have shared messages reveling in him having
Some suggested Trump's diagnosis made today "the best day" of the year, while others went so far as to suggest they hoped he would die from the virus.

Among those to wish death upon the president was Steve Cox, an Independent candidate running in California's 39th District, who said he hopes Trump and Biden both die.

A former Obama staffer, Zara Rahim, shared and deleted a tweet saying "I hope he dies."

So yes lots of people wished Trump dead

But it's nbd. It's like when ud wished me dead

It's only a big deal when an ignorant Trump supporter wishes someone dead

The fact that you think there was no hate or wishing death by the left on Trump shows how either disingenuous you are or you in such a bubble that it's kind of sad

I'll pray for you

Again not excusing Trump or some of his supporters behavior at all

But this omg only the right would be this low is beyond horseshit and when filthy is the voice of reason in the thread i have to speak up

La times article rooted for Trump to die too

"When Reagan was shot, the country rallied around, but he hadn’t spent months downplaying assassins.”

https://wabcradio.com/2020/10/06/mar...nt-trump-dead/

Vox says it's okay to feel "Schadenfreude" about wanting Trump to die

Maybe you didn't know about any of this

But again Trump supporters wishing death on political opponents is as dumb immoral and disgusting as the people wishing death on Trump or on me

But not any worse

https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2...e-guilt-ethics

i might be reacting wrong. but when i hear people criticize trump, i usually get the impression that they way say it implies something like "trump is so terrible", and the unspoken part is "normally usa govt is not that bad, tolerable, ok, maybe even just and democratic"

like why point out how sad it is that so many people believe trump? obama is still worshipped by many as a hero, same with reagan. people are even talking about how great bush was! lol!

the love of obama is more disturbing to me than the love for trump. the love for trump comes from people who are powerless. you see them talk and dismiss them as hopeless clowns in their maga hats and flat earth belief... but the people who love obama are are all the people on tv, all the celebs, highly educated and influential people


and i'm not saying chim does this, but a lot of people criticize only trump, and not other presidents. it emphasizes the message, that govt is ok. it's just trump that is the problem. or just republicans. dems are fine.

me and everyone i knew rooted for reagan to die

i don't believe the country rallied around. i believe that is the story that media portrayed.

corporations rallied around, and did what they could to get the country to rally around. some people rallied around.

another big factor is trump's approval rating is always around 40%, and when trump was sick, the country was out of work and rioting.

reagan won by a historic landslide, and people had jobs.

Mets, were you happy when Soleimani was killed?

How old are you?

I was 9 when Reagan got shot

Yes. He was a terrorist not a political opponent

Still off point

The point chim. Made was omg never before have supporters wished death on a political opponent

And that's still horseshit

Mets,

You so consistently misrepresent what my positions are that I can assume it’s a deficiency in my ability to communicate. No one could be this poor at comprehension, so I think I’m unable to articulate my views well. If you want to continue this I’d suggest we record a voice chat and can share it if anyone cares. It’s beyond obvious our communication by text doesn’t work, and I get very frustrated with you misrepresenting what I’m saying. Though, as noted, I’m willing to take the blame for that.

Let me know. I’ll view your next post to see if that’s something you want to do, otherwise we will just end all communication as it clearly isn’t fruitful.

around the same age. i was born in 71

Quote where I said this.

Me too

And you were rooting for his death when you were 10 years old?

Wow

Cl

If anyone else actually thought that was my point I should probably just leave the thread as I’ve clearly lost ability to communicate effectively.
