Thank GOP. Hillary was wrong to say half of you are deplorables, all of you are.

u/Biscuits4u2 27d ago

Well that was back then before the complete MAGA takeover of the party.

u/erizzluh 27d ago

maga was just a rebrand. some people want to act like it's just the extreme right cause it's awfully convenient to scapegoat maga... but the only difference now is maga people are are saying out loud what the gop didn't want to say out loud. maga talking points are the same gop talking points you would have had in a private conversation.

u/TheLastCoagulant 27d ago

No there’s definitely something to be said about the fact that George HW Bush voted for Hillary in 2016. Mitt Romney and George W Bush refused to vote for Trump in 2016. Even Ben Shapiro refused to vote for Trump in 2016.

u/erizzluh 27d ago

cause they didn't like he was saying the quiet part out loud. what were their ideological differences? they didn't like trump shitting on veterans. but they still supported legislation to fuck military and veterans. trump was out there saying build the wall and fearmongering about migrants crossing our borders and being criminals and leeches. they don't say it in public, but supported the same legislation.

2

u/TheLastCoagulant 27d ago

what were their ideological differences?

Trump is pro-Russia, they are pro-West.

Trump is anti-democracy, they are pro-democracy.

Trump is openly racist, Romney tweeted “Black Lives Matter.” Say all you want about it being virtue signaling, but publicly saying BLM is a big “Fuck You” to like 90% of today’s Republicans.

u/ApolloMoonLandings 27d ago

Hillary so saw that coming since she also realized that Trump was using Hitler's and the NAZI playbook in order to obtain power, just as they did.

u/joshyuaaa 27d ago

When it was Hillary VS Trump I was just like meh, same old political BS. I owe Hillary my apologies cause what she said has 100% happened.

u/KaizerVonLoopy 27d ago

She and the DNC shouldn't have kneecapped Bernie then because her being anointed as the chosen one is absolutely how Trump happened. I held my nose and voted for her because I understood the threat of Trump but a lot of people didn't and just hated her for being supremely unlikable and another smaller percentage hated her for her political record.

u/Coneskater 27d ago

She and the DNC shouldn't have kneecapped Bernie

This has been wildly overblown. Hillary beat Bernie handily in the primary.

u/hates_stupid_people 27d ago

George Washington saw it coming(literally).

The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.

It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another

Trump keeps/kept a copy of Mein Kampf on his nightstand in trump tower… that’s a fact. He has plagiarized Hitler speeches several times.

33

u/Makanek 27d ago

It's a compilation of speeches, not Mein Kampf. I don't think he has the intellectual level for Mein Kampf (not that it's a deep book) and he's more into the cult of the leader and subjugation of the masses than politics or ideology.

u/AyyyyLeMeow 27d ago

I don't think his brain goes beyond "Hitler was a cool guy, very famous. Everybody loved him."

u/Vihtic 26d ago

Can you substantiate that fact? I dislike trump. Not trying to fool you. But I need a source if I'm to believe any of what you're saying.

1

u/Oldman5123 26d ago

FOX news, CNN, most importantly: from Melania’s own mouth. Apparently he started becoming obsessed with Hitler when he was married to Ivanna. If you do a search you’ll find it.

1

u/Vihtic 26d ago

A simple link to a source would be very helpful. It's kinda crazy to make a claim like that and not have any evidence even though were on the internet and can copy paste a link in seconds.

I wouldn't at all be surprised by your claims. But I'm also not gonna just believe you because you quoted "FOX news and CNN", as your source.

u/Oldman5123 26d ago

Look…. I highly suggest and recommend doing your OWN research on these matters. I don’t expect you to simply “believe” me, you don’t even know me. Tbh, I could care less if you believe it or not. I know for a fact it’s true, because someone told me about it, then I did my OWN research to verify. Suggest you do likewise if you’re searching for the truth. I don’t do links and pasting. Sorry.

2

u/Vihtic 26d ago

"I don’t do links and pasting. Sorry."

"I refuse to substantiate my claims with facts and evidence".

Got it.

u/Oldman5123 27d ago

I also look at the facts; as well as the truth. Comparing anything Joe plagiarized 50 years ago to trump quoting Hitler speeches as he has admitted that he “admires the man”. So yea. These are facts. It’s not a far reach at all. All we need use is our own eyes and ears, follow the truth trail as things occur. I’ll stick to my facts.

u/Oldman5123 27d ago

Btw, I also support neither part nor have I ever. I’m lifelong independent.

u/Bennimiir 27d ago

Independent is definitely the way to go in todays world.

u/perpetual_papercut 27d ago

“Trump plagiarized Hitler” vs “Biden plagiarized too lol” is not the burn the you think it is.

u/Oldman5123 21d ago

You can’t plagiarize your own speeches lol… that’s called “quoting” or repeating.

u/hates_stupid_people 27d ago

That's one of the important things you have to remember: They've been like this for decades, centuries even. They just become a lot more open about what they're doing.

You have to realize that the way they're acting like Trump did nothing wrong and people are just "out to get him"? Republicans were saying the same things about Nixon. It's not new.


In fact, it's so not new that George Washington warned that one party would be bound to the will of a single man who convinced people to join him, and were under the influence of a foreign power.

Hell, the bible warns of the same type of thing, in the form of the antichrist. Who is, when summed up, a wildly narcissistic ruler of a powerful nation.

u/Biscuits4u2 27d ago

Yeah it's a common theme throughout history. Cults of personality are just a quirk of human nature.

u/Scryberwitch 26d ago

Exactly. And Hillary would know - she and Bill had been getting smeared with wild right-wing CTs since the 80s. She knows exactly how crazy these idiots are.

GOP is cancer. You can't expect them to vote for their own annihilation

u/_lemon_suplex_ 27d ago

if they fund a cancer cure then they are funding their own demise

u/[deleted] 27d ago edited 27d ago

Like the “cure” for cancer is sitting on a shelf somewhere. Neither side give a F about people. It’s all about money & votes.

105

u/Kingcol221 27d ago

The cure for cancer isn't sitting on a shelf somewhere. It needs to be researched, developed and tested. Which requires funding. Which one side wanted and the other blocked.

22

u/geek_fire 27d ago

But both sides!!!

-44

u/SkunkeySpray 27d ago

Cancer will not have a singular cure because cancer is not one disease, it's a family of related illnesses.

Saying "cure for cancer" is like saying "cure for virus"

45

u/Jim-Jones 27d ago

Even if it's just one particular cancer it's fantastic when it's the one you've got.

-33

u/SkunkeySpray 27d ago

Yes, I'm not denying that. I'm just tired of people who act like cancer is one disease that will have one cure x.x

18

u/Improvedandconfused 27d ago

I’m fortunate that the cancer I had in 2007 (Hodgkin’s Lymphoma) is one of those that is curable now. If certain politicians had their way I wouldn’t be alive today. Let’s hope that more research is funded into other cancers and treatments, I know far too many people who have died from various cancers.

14

u/GaiusPrimus 27d ago

There is a cure for HPV cancers.

u/Jim-Jones 27d ago

I'd be happy with a big improvement in detecting and treating pancreatic cancer. It's a real bitch.

23

u/trickyvinny 27d ago

It's a good thing it said a cure then, isn't it?

-18

u/SkunkeySpray 27d ago

I'm confused...

14

u/TheBlueHypergiant 27d ago

It means that it's not a cure for all cancers, just a singular cancer, which is much better than nothing

u/Pegede 27d ago

That much is clear.

When did the democrats blocking funding for cancer research or even any medical research?

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Did I say that? Blocked funding. You filled in your own blank

u/Ergheis 27d ago

They cut the funding in those bot farms, huh.

1

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Doesn’t look like it

2

u/kiwiman115 27d ago

Well then block funding to what? Anything the dems blocked that's comparable to blocking cancer research?

1

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Im against the blocking of cancer research, I don’t care what party. I’m sick of all the bs red tape we need to go through to get things done. One should not be contingent on the other. Our government as a whole needs to do better across the board.

Which will never happen , radiation , chemo the meds are a billion dollar industry if Not trillion. How many research facilities, hospitals , doctors , pharmaceutical sales companies would lose way too much money for this to be found.

Same thing with clean energy . Too many billionaires stand to lose .

100%

u/Full_FrontalLobotomy 27d ago

Ah yes, like the company that came up with it wouldn’t want to make a trillion dollars. Pharma companies compete against one another so only in a doltish conspiracy theory does one company sacrifice their fortunes to protect competitors. Oh and GTFO with your “both sides” horseshit.

u/ruiner8850 27d ago

Oh and GTFO with your “both sides” horseshit.

You can guarantee that someone with the username "Trueamerican88" who regularly posts on r/Conservative has an agenda. They know exactly what they are doing with that "both sides" bullshit.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Neither side cares about people. Only money

u/Hisplumberness 27d ago

Yep, which is why it’s much more lucrative to treat the illness rather than cure the disease

9

u/Full_FrontalLobotomy 27d ago

So if Pfizer has a cure, they won’t bring it to market because they don’t wanna steal business away from Merck for instance? That’ so incredibly. Different firms have made incredible advances and you’re telling me that they all just sat on those advances because they didn’t want to take business away from someone else? No
