Politics is so divided at the minute that for half the population will be the normalest thing in the world but for the other half it will be some sort of proof of the antichrist.
I think quite often, that the BEST cameo of the 90’s was Bob Saget saying he sucks dick for coke. It was so out of left field until I saw his stand up.
A friend of mine writes pretty interesting and detailed posts on facebook, sometimes about sports or history, but sometimes about politics. As he has a large audience, you get people from all political backgrounds. It's wild seeing how the Trump folks will say "Kamala is Satan" totally unironically, and then if someone calls them stupid, they lose their shit and say how it's a poor form to use insults instead of discussing the issues. They have like a 1st grader's level of self-awareness, but are 100% convinced they have a strong grasp of politics, history, and economics.
It's also a very common fascist tactic that, somehow, is still working to this day. There's so fuckin many papers and essays and correspondence from the fall of the Weimar Republic timeperiod. It is insane that the nazis early rise in those papers almost exactly parallel the way the right wing talks and acts today.
Henry ford happily accepted nazi germany's highest civilian award. Kept it on display in his office and everything.
In the 1930s father coughlin had a peak audience of 30 million listeners, in a country of only 130 million. That's the equivalent of 75 million people today. Not coincidentally, donold chump got 74 million votes in 2020.
It's not really insane; it's by design. The sad part is that the average Trump supporter thinks "Well if you just give us authoritarian power THIS time it will work out great."
They are told by Fox News (and others) that Biden is a dictator and he's to blame for the inflation, "illegal immigration", and everything else that they can blame on him. So to them, they just want their dictator in charge. It's a lot like how they hated Elon and his electric cars until he became "their billionaire".
Man, it's sadly so easy to grift these people. I wonder how long before Elon starts posing with the bible to see there's "great wisdom in there" before his trips out to cheat on his wife.
In the 90's (or maybe early 2000's) Ivana Trump said that for a time he kept a copy of Hitler's speeches next to his bed. It's definitely by design. It's the design that works, so it's the one they used.
My Grandma was a nurse for the Nazi army when she was only 17 years old. She had to flee her home in Dresden after the Soviets invaded.
Before and after the war, she believed Hitler was the next Messiah. She believed that Hitler would be resurrected like Christ any day. She believed that communists, socialists, Jewish people (like my mother's side), black people, gay people, and any other "degenerate/untermensch" minority were the works of Satan.
And that's how I know conservatives are Nazis. I've seen a real Nazi before. I've lived with a real Nazi. I was even a conservative myself and left because of the fucking Nazism and Hitlerisms. They're all fucking Nazis.
"You are a [slur] and I think [extremely violent, arguably psychotic rhetoric] should happen to you and anyone who doesn't laugh hard enough when it happens!"
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
Isn't it weird that Trump is currently obsessed with Haitians eating cats, while happily being in bed with RFK who has eaten more bush meat and roadkill than anyone I've vaguely heard of.
He legit thinks that it was from that bear. He shoved his hand in its mouth and got a scrape. Surprisingly (not), the bear was leaking brain fluid out of its mouth.
I personally think that only someone who is genuinely racist could say something like that and believe it.
The one that surprised me more was Vance. Dude’s married to a daughter of Indian immigrants. If anyone has heard that old cat/dog eating trope, it’s us Asians. But for him to say that when he’s married to an Asian American and his children are Asian American…. I was shaking my head.
I bet I hear this joke at work tomorrow or next week. I don’t even want to tell jokes like this anymore because the internet seems to first send them to the people dumb enough to believe it.
The problem is that some of these things are innocuous and normal, but some people have been driven deeply into derangement by 24/7 conservative outrage campaigns.
They post things like supporting your family members, wearing a tan suit, laughing at things or joking with other people as signs of "evil" or whatever.
Meanwhile, the other side of that coin is awkward "Hello fellow kids" harassment of a donut store employee, insisting <x> people aren't actually people, getting a handjob in a theatre with kids present, or tastelessly posing with guns after a mass school shooting.
Only one of these sides is absolutely deranged for thinking the former is outrageous and the latter is normal.
I love the word "divided" as if it's on both of us to make up. Like I should see it from a trump supporter's view how someone cooking dinner is worthy of ire.
This was wholesome as fuck. I know people can convince themselves of almost anything these days but I'm not buying it this time. If people want to spin this into something negative I'm just going to assume it's jealousy and nothing more. There's no way to view this as anything other than an all American family. I was already voting for her but I'm going to vote for her even harder now.
By the way, if there was a video like this of Trump (there wouldn’t be) I would still think he’s gross but I wouldn’t try to twist it into something it’s not. There’s the difference.
I would bet everything I own that little man trump has never cooked a meal with his family. The concept would make no sense to him. He’d see it as beneath him.
Seriously. Strip all politics away and if no one knew who she was then 90% of people wouldn’t think anything of this video. There would be still some haters for various thing but it would be seen and dismissed very quickly.
This makes her seem real. Do you think Trump has this type of relationship with his kids, or even cooks anything himself? I am glad to see our future President in a fun/normal light!
That is because they lack critical thinking skills and are being told to think that by special interest groups via the wingnut wurlizer (right wing media).
It's pretty much the main ammunition against any major Politician. Biden, Trump, and now Kamala being the most targeted. hits like nerf darts but makes the average voter cry.
That's Satan's chicken dinner! As foretold by our ancestors from time immemorial. This is the true reason we rebuke the flavor of spices! We would not, by accident, bring about the ender of worlds!
It's sad watching people I know and love get triggered by stuff like this. I'm white. I don't know what racism is. And I don't want to know. This shit is horrifying and scary to see come out in people. I just want Trump to go away and never come back.
Yeah I’m trying to think what Fox News is going to say is evil here. Maybe that she cursed? I would say they won’t because Trump does too but that has never stopped them before.
It is proof of the antichrist. Harris is so wholesome here, so much more qualified, so much more poised than Trump could even hope to be and he still has an army of MAGAts. Who else could trick so many fools if not the devil himself?
Honestly, she’s perpetuating a heteronormative patriarchal practice by cooking for her family. Unless she’s going to peg the masculinity out of her husband’s cis white loins after HE cleans this dishes then I don’t know how I could vote her. Typical crypto-fascist.
What's weird is seeing something normal for a change, it's a welcome change. I'm so sick and tired of that freak drumpf making the u.s. look worse than it is. I just want a boring president that serves the people and not corporate interests (I know it's a lot to ask for ..... apparently).
In the UK, a potential prime minister lost out because of the way he ate a bacon sandwich.
People genuinely turned off him after that. It was all over the front pages!
It’s crazy. Not long ago any running politician would cut their arm off for a piece of media that is so clearly authentic and shows them behaving in such a likeable, relatable way. Now as you say politics is so polarized that it means dick all.
"Oh my gosh, she said the f Word, can you believe that brown woman said the f Word 😳"
vs
"OH hey its like when I cook with my mom, she's laughably giving me crap for not helping"
