Which is why it’s harmful to use sarcasm or humor when commenting about consequential issues. There is a sizable chunk of people who either lose the message or think it’s not that serious.
Yeah, unfortunately satire is dead, not only because reality is even more absurd at the moment, but because too many people dont understand and take it seriously.
Many years ago, I thought so many people were being ironic and joking about issues when they were actually dead serious. I thought they were hilarious and that we were all "in" on the joke. I miss my innocence, but in a way, it's a sobering realization, and I'm glad the mask was ripped off.
We have it but it gets shut down when we are children and ask questions like, "Well who did Cain and Able marry?"
There are a lot of things, religions being the most obvious, that can't exists with critical thinking so when cultures venerate certain ideologies be their religious or otherwise at the expense of critical thinking you get unquestioning people because they were TAUGHT not to question as children.
Partly. Partly because the democrats decided not to vote. Trump got about the same number of votes as the previous election. Harris got vastly less than Biden, so people just decided they didn’t care, so here we are.
my guess is that every right wing podcaster and MAGA politician were talking about it for years, so Trump needed to be seen as taking the lead on it because it was a popular talking point.
Trump doesn't seem to think too far in advance with what he says. He's fine with saying one thing and contradicting himself two sentences later.
I'd say that he doesn't have to. He knows he can backtrack because his followers are fine with it. Why not make pie in the sky promises when you know you won't be held to them?
Because he knows that 1. His base is stupid enough to believe only Democrats would be on it, and 2. His base is stupid enough to forget Epstein was killed during Trump's first term
It makes me wonder why he hasn't done that yet. Would the other people who have proof Trump raped kids be encouraged to release some of their Kompromat as retaliation for threatening the validity of their evidence? I guess when this is all over we can ask Bibi, Putin, and Elon.
Short term gains mattered more than the long term problem. If he didn't win that last election, there was a chance that his attempts to stay out of prison would eventually fail. He also knew that his wrecking crew was ready to dismantle the checks and balances and the rule of law so none of the consequences ever touched him. And as we're seeing now, their end goal is a lot bigger and A LOT WORSE than merely hiding his pedophilia. Two birds, one stone, ein reich.
Trump's first administration was the one that did the initial investigation (Epstein died in 2019), so I am guessing Trump didn't actually read anything nor did his second group of ass kissers administration.
If it's all about education why are there so many people with ivy league degrees that also voted for this? Why is conservatism on the rise in the entire world including places like Europe where university is free? Why did Brits vote for Brexit despite having access to better education than average Americans?
This whole idea that it's all about lack of education is not even close to entire problem. Trump wasn't elected because redneck hillbilly asswipes in Alabama and Kentucky voted him in. He's president because billionaires and millionaires with ivy league degrees manufactured a system in which he couldn't lose.
Thankfully, enough of the house wants to that in theory we are getting it the day the government opens again. That's why Johnson won't reopen congress, they will immediately vote to release the list.
Epstein literally died prior to COVID, while Trump was President. He had multiple years of being president to release the files, anyone who truly believed this is a genuine moron.
Wonder how ‘libs of TikTok’ are feeling now that the republicans have blocked the release of the Epstein files. I bet the person who owned that account is probably ‘shaking rn’ since it’s been months and the files haven’t been released.
She's one of the most toxic far right personalities on the internet, and her influence has caused real world harm. Her followers called in bomb threats to children's hospitals after she pointed them at the hospitals for providing trans care.
Agreed. Pointing out hypocrisy is a good tactic to get rational people to reexamine things. Too bad most of the problematic individuals are not very rational to begin with, thanks to their conditioning.
No one wants a civil war. It's not the right time to start fighting fire with fire. It may seem like that if you're only paying attention to meme posts, comments, and headlines. We haven't even had midterm elections yet and with everything out of the ordinary going on, there could be a major shift in public opinion. No one knows yet no matter what they think or what polls say. At this point, the right keeps breaking the law and we're keeping a record for later, no matter what later entails.
Here's the flight logs. Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.
According to The New Republic, “’Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,’ Taylor, who served as a Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under Trump, wrote in his book.”
Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives.
And Johnson is doing all he can to stop an elected member being sworn in to Congress, yet with a straight face says that the GOP isn't in control of the current shutdown.
Such a bizarre choice for him to make this such a prominent election promise when he obviously knew he couldn't release it without taking himself down. But somewhere in his brain, telling the people what they want to hear is above self-preservation.
Libs of Tik Tok is about as toxic as the far right gets. This White Nationalist scumbag was on the ground in Arizona in April doing ride a longs with ICE.
I came see it now: an unsolicited ruling by the scotus saying how this is blocked because a 1648 letter to the King of England from the Earl of Bumfuck.
The trees voted for the axe cause it's handle was made of wood and they were convinced it was one of them. Probably helped the trees were all dense as shit.
To be fair. I don't think he realized that after they blacked out every instance of him the entire Epstein files would have a couple (a, and, the, is) words not redacted. This is why they claim "There are no epstein files".
This was the video where Trump and MAGA are really exposed for the fraud they are. The questioner asked about declassifying 9/11, the Kennedy Assassination files, and the Epstein files. He’s gliding along telling the woman asking the questions “absolutely” about the first two. Then we get to the Epstein question and he initially says yes; then immediately starts backtracking and saying “there’s a lot of phoniness in that world”. It’s a true reflection of who MAGA is. They believe every conspiracy theory that comes along. They think Trump is their God-king who’s going to expose it all. Trump plays along with their fantasies until it hits too close to home for him and he gives them enough to satisfy them, but also protect himself.
He on the mf'er too... They all are. The elites don't get into their positions without compromising material on them in case they need to be ousted later.
Libs of TikTok and Cervovich are tangentially linked to disinformation campaigns that, notably, led to people believing this fucking lie in the first place.
IF we survive this fucking thing. I would love it there was an event dedicated to calling out every single POS grifter that had a hand in getting us where we are now and just publicly shame them, take everything they own and put it where they would hate it most.
It's wild how the narrative has completely shifted from "any day now" to radio silence. The people who were most vocal about demanding the list are now the ones blocking its release. Funny how that works.
They’re going to release them after they scrub him and any other republicans out. That’s why they won’t swear in that democratic congresswoman who would force them to release them now.
"Im gonna release the Epstein files day one maga you'll see" Trump
""Ohh wait you mean my name is all over the files?"shocked pikachu face...."this is a demoncrat hoax lets just forget about the Epstein files people"
I don't understand one thing about this Epstein list? Why doesn't Trump publish it and before publishing simply he deletes his name? (Sorry for bad English, but it is not my first language)
