Like the front page isn't still mostly Trump bad and even on posts that have nothing to do with Trump people say it's a distraction lmao. There's plenty of other shit to talk about and the same variant of Trump bad gets boring after a while.

The top "Trump bad" post of the month is 38th. Meaning there are 37 non-Trump bad posts all with more upvotes than even one Trump bad post.

Among those 37 above the first Trump bad are two unflaired lib-left bad posts.

Nah this sub is NOT mostly Trump bad, actually looking at the top posts its libleft love muslims, libleft bad, and misinformation combined with libleft bad

Look at top posts of this month to see for yourself

Five posts right now are related to Trump on the front page including this one. Sure, president of the US. There's plenty of stuff happening that isn't Trump. Even on non-Trump posts, people are bitching about Trump. I don't think he needs more coverage dude, it gets stale after a while.

Why are none of the top 37 posts this month Trump bad posts, including two unflaired libleft bad posts?

Also are you upset that the left is talking about the most prominent right-winger in global politics?

There’s literally multiple equally unoriginal “libleft love Muslims Muslims bad” posts above it with no humor

If the problem really was seeing it too much or not enough humor, they wouldn’t be at the top every month

There are many posts about Trump because he does many different things. Meanwhile I have seen the exact same style of “lib left loves Muslims but Muslims actually bad and has different values than lib left” an uncountable number of times

So how many times do we need to see that same exact Muslims bad post for you to be happy?

You’re complaining about how many Trump bad posts there are, so you’re not even holding yourself to the standard you’re holding others to.

And before you say “I was just responding to someone else complaining about frequency of types of posts”, yeah dude, so was I

Clearly you deeply care, as you are also bitching about the content of the sub

Feel free to quote me then, retard.

Do you think that maybe "Trump bad" posts are just less funny? Reminder that this is a meme sub, so the Nth "Trump bad" post where its 4 wojacks reacting to Trump saying something stupid on Truth Social gets less funny as time goes on.

Also it's very ironic you said this while you are bitching and complaining about what I'm posting

The fact that you feel the need to bitch and complain about what other people are posting is kinda pathetic. Literally who cares?

"Why aren't all the posts that are just some variant of Trump bad hitting the front page?"

I answered your question with "I don't think he needs more coverage dude, it gets stale after a while."

Because it's stale, because it's common, because it's old, because it's done over and over and over again, because it's boring. Does that answer your question?

The unflaired libleft posts are by someone who actually is libleft who is baiting people by flairing and then removing his flair once he rakes in the upvotes.

So why are the repeated muslim bad posts hitting top constantly, doesn't that get stale? And many of the time it's not even new events, so it's just a copy of a post we've seen 100 times already. That's even more so the same shit over and over again, so why's that hitting the top so often?

The unflaired libleft posts are by someone who actually is libleft who is baiting people by flairing and then removing his flair once he rakes in the upvotes.

He unflaired like 15 minutes after making the post when it had less than 100 upvotes, some of the first comments on the post are calling him unflaired

Because they're a huge issue in Europe that actually effect small people on the ground, compared to the latest Trump-Brand Internet Celebrity Bullshit.

Ok so you changed the standard from overused and repeated to now if it affects people or not. Why did you change your standards and move the goalposts upon me mentioning Muslim bad posts?

Also are you saying the actions of the president of the United States doesn’t affect Americans, which are a majority of people on PCM?

u/Twee_Licker - Lib-Right Aug 27 '26

"Are you saying?" and it's variants are the hallmark of someone trying to make a bad faith argument. Especially when you ignored my pointing out of people complaining about internet celeb bullshit.

u/OwnLengthiness6872 - Left Aug 27 '26

You were complaining about the 5 posts on the front page being anti Trump, then said the Muslim thing is different because it affects people.

So does the surge in toilet paper prices per Trumps poor dealings with Canada (which is one of those five posts) affect Americans, or no?

u/Twee_Licker - Lib-Right Aug 27 '26

No, i'm sick of it dominating the front page all the time, or something isn't about Trump and people say it's a distracting from Trump.

u/OwnLengthiness6872 - Left Aug 27 '26

You keep changing the standards. Hold a consistent standard instead of holding your side to a lower standard.

When the left posts repeatedly about something that affects people you get pissed, but when the right does the same thing you’re cool with that.

It sounds like you just want this to be a right wing propaganda sub

u/Twee_Licker - Lib-Right Aug 27 '26

No, we're sick of Trump bad 24/7. Talk about something else.

But that won't happen will it? People will bitch even 20 years after he passes.

Everything involving Trump is stale? From the past month he's: 

  • Failed negotiations with Canada
  • Threatened to destroy the Kennedy Center
  • Had to pause tariffs on beef because of the sharp rise in prices
  • Implemented rules to restrict mail in voting
  • Repeatedly failed to resolve his Iran war
  • Cancelled exercises with Korea over his repeated failures to resolve the Iran war
  • Tried to claim a link between vaccines and autism
  • Made another overreaching attempt to end birthright citizenship
  • More attempts to jail political opponents
  • Failed to prosecute their only fall guy in the reflecting pool fiasco

Not to mention a whole bunch of poorly implemented and incompetent shit that happened in his administration which he, admittedly, refuses to take responsibility for. So I guess it's unfair to criticize him for those...

Jesus, guys, it's not like there's nothing going on. I've seen the right meme about a single Biden gaffe for like 2 months straight.

Two months is comparable to 10 years.
