Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

There's a theory that all politics boil down to survival strategy: People in the Cities are (generally,) resource seekers that want cheap money and more sexual/social opportunities, and people in the rural areas prefer scarcity-enforced hierarchies. To see someone opposed to your politics is to see someone standing in the way of your survival strategy. This sets off the amygdala, the threat-sensing part of the brain, and, if you're a person whose amygdala has atrophied because of a lack of environmental threat, it can trigger a meltdown. This is why you usually see wealthy Karens and urban bugpeople screaming their heads off if their expectations are violated, or see them cutting off lifelong family members because they dared to suggest that the Orange Man might not be all bad.
There's a great series of books about this phenomenon, starting with A People Who Shall Dwell Alone.
 
The people protesting want to make an income again before they starve to death or become fucking homeless. But sure, write those people off as brats who are just mad that they weren't able to see the Mulan remake in theaters!

The ones who are saying how "easy" it is to stay home are the ones with the most charmed lives. They are being incredibly oblivious and elitist about other people's LEGITIMATE problems. These shutdowns have the serious potential to make a worse impact on our country than COVID-19 itself if they continue for much longer.
(Hopefully) unrelated to your friend but then you have the other end of the spectrum of DSA losers that are collecting more in gibs now than ever before and don't want the gravy train to end. A lot of them probably even know this is destroying the economy but they don't care since luxury gay space communism is only a few dead boomers and a complete economic collapse away.
 
#ImpeachedPresidentTrump is trending. The tag is full of CCP shills and people blaming Trump for his incompetency on handling this pandemic and other shit about immigration. Good to know these people still can't distinguish the difference between legal and illegal immigrants. The funny thing is you know half of these people were probably reeeing about Trump being racist and irrational just a couple months ago. Wyświetl załącznik 1245706
Kinda funny how they're essentially repeating what ppl have been saying about the Chinese gov. being corrupt and applying it the US even using similar hashtags

People that compare deaths between wars and viruses are the most autistic waste of space. Wars can be avoided, viruses that are relatively new to the populace can not.
 
I'm still wondering how trump's gonna be viewed years after he's out of office. Wonder if this thread would still be around when trump's out of office

Trump will likely be seen like Nixon or Reagan. A man who changed and reshaped the Republican party. The shift from evangelicals and markets to a more populist and anti-globalist message is pretty obvious. He's kinda a transition president.

His significance in this regard depends on the Republicans learning from him. If they go back to Rick Santorums and Jebs then this will be a weird footnote in history. Maybe he'll be like a Barry Goldwater and people will go around saying "Yeah, I'm a Trump Republican, wish we could go back to those days".

Trump capitalized on anti-intellectualism and a distrust of institutions but his rise also strengthened those trends. He is definitely significant.

It really looks like the 1910s if I had to compare this time to anything. Rising socialism, corrupt Republicans trying new ideas and Dems tapping into racial hatred.

I mean I agree that you can't compare deaths between wars and viruses; but if you think tribes of humans aren't going to kill each other over resources for as long as there are resources to fight over, then I've got bad news for you.

I had to do a double-take and check my calendar. ...You're seriously going to just start defibrillating Russian Collusion's corpse out of the middle of nowhere? You guys must really not like the way that those investigations have been going behind the scenes. Those investigations might not be making any headlines right now, but that doesn't mean that Barr and Durham were pumping the brakes.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is corrupted. Their word is trash anyway. People who have been following will remember, they orchestrated the leak of the fraudulent Carter Page FISA warrant to the media, and got fucking busted because the copy of the warrant that was leaked had its dates falsified to catch leakers. When they realized their hands were caught in the cookie jar, the ranking Democrat AND Republican both started schmoozing the DC district attorney to sweep it under the rug at all costs. The leaker's criminal charges were all dropped to misdemeanors to avoid this going to trial and being exposed, and the leaker and the SSCI were allowed to skate on their conspiracy.

This is just more cover your ass bullshit. Funny how all the colluding scumbags like Comey and the media water carriers who are so wrapped up in Russia that they need it to be true had the nerve to pipe up yesterday about this trash, but were totally silent all last week when redaction after redaction was declassified, revealing that they KNEW the Steele dossier was bad, but used it anyway, literally cutting and pasting parts of it into FISA applications that were already faulty and hiding all of the exculpatory evidence. Not to mention the new dates we have, which push the start of this conspiracy back further than their admitted start date. Like so many of these reports, the people who have a vested interest to not lose face or go to fucking prison rush out from their spiderholes to hold this up as if this vindicates them, when it really doesn't. Like Adam Schiff and his fraud of a rebuttal on the Nunez memo released on FISA abuse. It doesn't matter whether it's true, it only needs to shape the narrative. They've been lying their asses off for four years now, so why would they stop now?

There's still plenty of Nixon Derangement Syndrome and it's been nearly half a century since he resigned.

I'm sure in 2070 this thread will still be chugging along if the First Amendment survives..

Nixon Derangement Syndrome mainly survives solely because of Watergate and Nixon's resignation over that scandal being the moment that overshadowed the rest of his presidency.

I think Trump will end up being remembered in a similar regard as Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton are today, seen as a hero figure by his own party and a villain figure by the opposition party, and is seen as the harbinger of a wider political paradigm shift on both sides.

Okay, I guess today won't be quiet then. In hindsight, Joe should be careful what he asks for.

Once modern journos find a dead horse to beat, they will not let it go for anything. I expect TDS to crop up for years to come, a la Gamergate sperging by "games journalists".

It also survives because aging hippies in Hollywood are able to keep putting him as the villain in movies (and high quality TV shows) thereby keeping the memory of his "awfulness" alive.

Media is too diversified now so Trump will definitely be more like Reagan in that regard. Then as soon as the next Republican runs, we'll be hearing about how great Trump was and he was such a reasonable guy who always did his best for America. Not like this latest Hitler who is going to put everyone in camps this time for real guys...
 
I like how calmly and firm he just put that out there. No Trump exclamations or phrases, just straightforward "You mess with us, you get bombed."

I don't know if I should be scared or amazed.
If Iran's dumb enough to go for it, it's just going to be Operation Praying Mantis all over again. You could potentially argue that things would go differently this time around, but you'd be mistakenly assuming that Iran ever bothered to update its military hardware. The Iranian naval composition is full of "kilo-class submarines." IE: Retrofitted, Cold War-era, diesel-powered submarines. You don't need to be an expert in submarines to figure out that a diesel-electric submarine from the 1960s is probably not going to be very quiet.

They also have three Alvand-class frigates. They're the three that survived Operation Praying Mantis in 1988, so three guesses how well those would hold up against modern technology. They have two Bayandor-class Corvettes, which sound really fancy but the Iranians got those in the 1960s. They originally had four, but two of them were sunk in the Iran-Iraq war. They also have a single HAMZEH-class Corvette. Iran got in 1965. It was made by the Dutch in 1936.

The bulk of their remaining ships are literally just tiny patrol boats, of which they have around 30 or so. Half of those are what's left from their ass-beating in 1988, and the rest of them were almost all constructed in the 1990s, or they're refitted civilian ships that they just welded some missiles onto. America destroyed half of Iran's operational fleet in 1988. This would just be finishing the job that Reagan started.

I believe that is standard for "bleeding hearts." The second you scratch the surface you find a hard core elitist underneath. That the "peasants" need to realize what their place in the world is.
No doubt about this. Just yesterday had a nurse in PACU bitching that those protesters want to kill people just because they can't "stay at home and watch TV". That is how out of touch these people are with anyone they they most likely rely on for services or products.

This was a guy who between him and 2 others had exactly 1 case to watch over in PACU for the entire day, while of course still drawing a paycheck for that entire day of doing nothing.

This guy also thought it was prudent to shit talk a patient after they left their 'care' because they had the audacity to wear a hat with the President's name on it. Your healthcare 'professionals' at work.

Judging by George Bush V1 and 2, TDS will hang around in a more minor form if a dem wins, to be used to blame every problem on. If a repub wins, Trump will transform into a harmless old fool and the new Republican will be hitler.

But there will probably be a bit of reaganing too, as they chip away at his successful legacy in pop culture, until the common wisdom is that Obama fixed the economy and Trump rode his coattails.
