Trump being senile doesn’t matter to Trump voters. As long as he hates the same people they hate, they’ll decorate their trailers and go out and put him in power.
Biden being senile did matter to Biden voters. That’s why they attacked him on it. And rightly so. Let the poor man retire. It’s not an easy job if you actually bother to do it.
The GOP won’t replace Trump even if they his health does concern them, because if they do they go from just under half of the votes to being obliterated.
It’s interesting that out of the republican base, there are that many more of “people who want a person [trump] who hates the same people they do” rather than “people who care about [traditional republican values].” That they’re running trump in the hopes to win means the party has traded its soul of traditional values for hate.
I think its going to be a landslide. I think a ton of republicans are done with either trump or the party as a whole.
I have a theory that they’ll tolerate anything to get into the whitehouse again, get proj 2025 rolling, then Vance et al do the ol 25th Amendment cha-cha and Peter Theil gets to control the white house.
By himself, Vance can’t get Theil there, but riding the deranged tangerine palpatine into office is extremely plausible.
Right, in a sane world, Trump has been proving himself unfit to hold any more responsibility than a burger flipper for decades now. The fact that anyone could possibly be on the fence about him at this point means the game is already lost.
republicans will never admit to anything ever, not one instance has a republican EVER admitting to fault in ANY scenario.
Similarly, pretty much every accusation from every Republican can be interpreted as a confession
be careful, they’re going to say this about democrats now, it’s literally the only thing they do.
Hi. I’m here. Trump is too old and demented to be president. Just like biden.
The difference is the right doesn’t care. Because they know it doesn’t matter who is in office. Either way they get everything they want.
Edit: and arguably everyone who was actually concerned about biden and not just a republican shill is now happily voting Harris.
If trump is elected they’ll get president Vance once he has Trumped declared incompetent
Oh god. That would be the most cursed timeline.
The couches in the oval office won’t survive.
Sucking trumps Dick
Let’s be very Frank with you, republicans want that. Not the rank and file, but the politicians that want control over the United States.
What they want from Trump is a rubber stamp to do whatever they want.
I don’t even think it’s that deep, americans treat politics like football and they just want their team to win.
On Hexbear and .ml seething that Trump isn’t going to win.
Fuck Hexbear, Russian trolls, and tankies everywhere.
Be careful, some people from there will bring up one thread where they called Putin a far-right fuckface!
You mean, evidence?
Yeah. Anecdotal evidence. The exception, not the rule.
You know, critical thinking?
If you say that someone thinks / says something, without any evidence, and I bring evidence of the contrary, I think this is far from being anecdotal.
We aren’t talking about a person, we’re talking about a community.
If one person in a community condemns Putin while the rest of the community peddles his talking points, that person is the exception. Their contributions prove nothing about the community.
This kind of evidence only works in the aggregate.
Oh no I was using a person as a metaphor. Just replace person with community.
Okay, then the proper criticism is that you’re a liar, typical of MLs. 🤷♂️
Want to change your argument again, or are you going to give up?
.ml here, I hope he goes to prison for a very long time.
Granted I knew nothing of the differences between .ml, hexbear, etc at the time I joined, and still kinda don’t. To be fair I question what the hell im doing half the time anyway lmao.
Maybe someone that is a little more involved in the different servers could shine some light? Cause man I get frustrated seeing some of the stuff I do, even when I try to tailor my feed to certain subs it still bleeds through lol.
.ml is run by tankies. They ban people for criticizing China and Russia.
I just joined an instance that was towards the top of the list, I didn’t do any research into the difference between them.
Tankies like Trump? I thought they favored that one woman, unfortunately her name escapes me at this moment.
Jill the Spoiler Candidate Stein? Of course they’d like her, she’s in bed with the Russian government.
Thank you, that’s her.
de la cruz
The baseball player?
Tankies like whatever is bad for America or good for Russia with no other considerations. Trump is bad for America and good for Russia.
I do understand Tankies are generally anti-America but your logic of them being anti-American and thus pro-Trump doesn’t fit for what I see on Lemmy.
What are you on about? As a mainliner hexer we would be happy to see Trump not living, just look at the response when he was shot or got covid.
Yes, we wish the fascist is dead, but the things we talk about will put the fascists in power. Somehow putting the fascist in power will definitely end up killing them and not giving them everything they ever wanted. Trust us.
Add this account to the victims of communism tally. One gorillion and one!
… I don’t think anyone on .ml is mad about Trump not winning. And yeah, Trump is too old. Of course Biden was worse, but Trump’s cognitive abilities are also not good enough to lead a country.
I don’t think lemmy.ml is full of tankies
I just know that tankies are explicitly allowed all over ML
And they do love Trump
>“.ml doesn’t have terrible people”
>has an .ml account.
😐
Hey, I’m sorry I didn’t get a PhD in “Lemmy instance vibe checking” before I chose to go for the devs’ instance.
Fuck Trump, and fuck generalizing tribalism.
That’s a ridiculous oversimplification of what I said, but go on
The simplification is ridiculous because the statement itself was too.
What’s ridiculous with what I said?
His senility is the smallest problem when it comes to Trump.
I thought his smallest problem was his hands
I don’t understand why Trump can’t be happy to be one of the few people to have been a president. Why must he do it again?
Now, let him retire. He have the money. He is already famous. Just let him go in peace to the prison…
Probably because he’s done so much illegal shit his only hope is to regain the presidency so he has some immunity until either the various cases and charges get dismissed or he’s simply old enough that he can ride out the clock and die either too senile to know he’s under house arrest or die before he could start a prison sentence
The need for legal immunity is what sent Ceasar to March on rome.
Wanting to know why they’re so quiet about Trump? They’re voting for him.
Republicans understand that projecting faultless confidence is an advantage in a head to head race.
Democrats… And those who claim to be Democrats… Seems to believe that passing through a labyrinth of strife and tribulation is somehow an advantage. Vetting candidates with fire only makes sense if you are in an environment where good faith prevails.
Everyone outside of white supremacists already know this. You’re preaching to the choir.
I hope the debate goes well tonight. 😢
Well I can stop worrying. Trump is getting completely annihilated! 🤣🤣🤣
Trump could be in a vegetative state, literally medically braindead, and Trump voters would still line up to cast their ballots for him.
That’s what happens when you have a cult of personality, it takes on a life of it’s own and becomes more of an identity than an ideology. They don’t care what Trump stands for or even if Trump stands, all that matters is that they are Trump people and they only want to associate with their kind.
For the rest of us, things like fitness and policy matter, which is why Biden was held to account and Trump will never be. There is no line that cannot be crossed.
god emperor trump (he’s in a vegitative state and pointing that out is heresy)
Report to the nearest Ordo Hereticus branch office for immediate punitive correction and summary execution.
Since his run for 2016 his speech has been teetering on coherency… It’s part of how he became a meme. How far gone he/it is is more or less meta and par for course.
Tldr by what metric
He drifts between topics more regularly and in fewer words that he used to. Like in 2016 he would say dumb stuff, but could say two sentences in a row or more on the same subject before switching to something else tangentially related if you squint hard enough. It was word salad, but you could follow it if you just pictured it was the utterance of an excited four year old.
Now he has trouble finishing sentences without switching subjects and instead of saying nonsensical things it is more of a word puree than word salad. Everything is mixed together and completely incoherent instead of stupid. It was a low starting point, but it has gotten worse.
Agreed. Unfortunately the number of words strung together hasn’t been all that important (wrong, sad,…). Shockingly today he’s done well in forming sentences and deflecting to other subjects.
Trump is 78 and barely coherent.
Where’s everyone whoWhere are those who** questioned Biden’s age and fitness?Edit: in thanks for correction below
I actually don’t think this is correct. Whom is used when the unknown person is the object being impacted (to whom did you sell your car). In this sentence, “who” is actually referring to a person performing the action (the sentences “who questioned him?” And “where are those who questioned him?” Would use who, not whom. You wouldn’t say “whom questioned him,” but whom could be used to replace “him,” such as “he questioned whom?”).
As I alluded to above, you can usually see if it’s who or whom by changing it to he/she (who) or him/her (whom). You may need to adjust the sentence slightly, but it will normally work. Above you need to remove the “where are those” portion to find the answer.
So I believe that your correction came across a bit rude, and I’m fairly certain it is also wrong.
Why was it rude? Was your correction rude simply because your explanation (which is valid by the way, nice catch. I was more focused on the fact that it sounded weird, not why) was more in depth? You’re also weirdly latching to the whom when my focus was the in pronoun group choice, as in: where are those
whomwho**.I don’t correct out of rudeness. Making assumptions makes you look more of an asshat than correcting someone. I want people to correct me. As I said, nice catch.
I appreciate your reply and question. I think it comes across rude because the correction wasn’t really necessary to understand the context of what was said, and it’s even less of a correction and more of a personal preference. It doesn’t add much to the conversation, which makes it seem more like grammatical pedantry. The fact that it wasn’t entirely correct made it seem even more out of place.
For the record, I’m not accusing you of being rude, just identifying how the comment came across. I’m not assuming intent with your original comment and apologize if it seemed like I had.
