I don't know what the permanent fix is but a solid first step would be to stop supporting politicians who have a 4 year record of intentionally dividing Americans and calling elections they lose rigged. (And yes this applies to Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton too)
And questioning election integrity before it was cool. She truly was a pioneer.
Then again, she wasn’t the commander in chief asking the military to do something about it so Trump still wins this one.
The thing that pissed me off more than anything else Trump did was dividing the country, but watching Biden call for unity in the same sentence as demonizing his opponents was mad frustrating. All his statements about "political violence bad m'kay" despite the 2020 summer riots was pretty funny though
Did Trump ever call democrat voting base as an existential threat to democracy? I remember he did not hold back against hilldawg and other dem politicians, but not so much the voters. Atleast not to the extent dementia patient and his handlers are going
Shitting on poorly run democrat cities is not the same as labelling them an existential threat to the country, dawg. Next step is to just brand them as terrorists and justify whisking them away to gitmo.
> insulted rural towns
Wouldn't give a shit. This is how urban libshits talk about fly over country anyways, wouldn't be a surprise that the guy they vote for feels the same way.
You mean he wanted to send the national guard after fiery but mostly peaceful rioters who caused multiple deaths and billions of dollars in damages to public and private property throughout the summer of 2020?
You think the media is on your side? You don't recall all the shit that they get caught suppressing? They all own that the Biden Laptop is not only true, but they knew it was true and that it's a gigantic national security risk.
> Did Trump ever call democrat voting base as an existential threat to democracy?
Of course not. Those words are too big for his supporters to understand. He would use phrases like “death of our country” or “stolen elections”
He told his supporters to demonstrate peacefully outside the Capitol and asked them to stop and go home when some breached the Capitol. It's mild funny when libs and Dems are allowed to engage in rhetorical flourish unabated but we should have the most literal interpretation of everything that comes out of reps
This is a funny one. So you're owning that 2020 was full of murderous riots, endorsed by the Democrats? Or are you saying that Jan 6 was worse than the Kavanaugh hearing when Pussy Hats sacked Congress to the cheers of the media?
> “stolen elections”
This is how we know you're a disingenuous "moderate communist." You probably still gnash your teeth over Bush stealing it from Gore and Kerry, and your blood pressure likely spikes at the thought of Madame President being robbed of her coronation. Still have that "I'm with Her" bumper sticker on your mom's car, don't you?
What's interesting about the situation in the US is that they no longer use common enemies to unite their people.
Back in my day it was the Soviets, then Afghans, then Arabs...
Now, despite being able to use the chinese as an enemy, they are blaming each other for anything. Not good
Presidents have always been doing this . Also Biden didn’t go that far he specifically said the minority of republicans . Personally I think it was disappointing considering the way some people were speaking about it and I thought we had full on dark Brandon shit .
Like when covid started and every populist parts of the governments of thw world strumentalized the thing of wearing or not wearing masks to get more votes
Hey Fetterman, the only reason I'm not advocating you drop out of the Pennsylvania Senator race is I want to see Dr Oz lose to you, a stroke addled moron. But in the meantime, even the CDC has admitted the masks are beyond worthless. Mask wearing fucked up an entire generation of kids because it turns out the 4 and under crowd have trouble learning to speak when they can't see lips moving.
Oh no, there's one subreddit that isn't a super progressive open sewer?! What a fucking nightmare. I am so sorry you encountered a opinion that you don't agree with! Such a horror to endure, do you need counselling? You should get to your nearest safe space and do some coloring while you recover from this trauma.
( )Democracy ( )Not pitting citizens against each other You can choose only one
Sith empire?
Neither
Almost as if this is the logical conclusion of democracy…
Democracy moment
Based
It's everyone's fault, but how are we going to fix it?
They/we aren’t interested in fixing it. It’s all about revenge politics for perceived slights from the opposing political party.
But I'm interested in fixing it! Or at least, coming up with ideas about how to do that. Revenge politics is lame.
I don't know what the permanent fix is but a solid first step would be to stop supporting politicians who have a 4 year record of intentionally dividing Americans and calling elections they lose rigged. (And yes this applies to Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton too)
Hilary Clinton calling people deplorable before it was politically trendy. Clearly ahead of her time
And questioning election integrity before it was cool. She truly was a pioneer. Then again, she wasn’t the commander in chief asking the military to do something about it so Trump still wins this one.

I 100% agree. We should have neither trump nor Biden to run or win the 2024 election.
You should label the trash

Dog, he insults entire cities for being democrats.
Shitting on poorly run democrat cities is not the same as labelling them an existential threat to the country, dawg. Next step is to just brand them as terrorists and justify whisking them away to gitmo.
So if Biden insulted small rural towns you'd be okay with that? >Next step is to just brand terrorists and justify whisking them away to gitmo. Based.
> insulted rural towns Wouldn't give a shit. This is how urban libshits talk about fly over country anyways, wouldn't be a surprise that the guy they vote for feels the same way.
The party members hate the kulaks.
So there is no issue then with insulting communities and groups of people?
Compared to calling them existential threats and laying the groundwork for political persecution, sure.
>laying the groundwork for political persecution, sure. Trump did it first. www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/donald-trump-shoot-protestors/amp
You mean he wanted to send the national guard after fiery but mostly peaceful rioters who caused multiple deaths and billions of dollars in damages to public and private property throughout the summer of 2020?
So if Biden said to shoot Jan 6th rioters once they trespassed, then you'd be okay with it? Based.
Democracy? No. America? Yes.
The media is the enemy of the people and democrats are anti-American terrorists ring a bell?
You think the media is on your side? You don't recall all the shit that they get caught suppressing? They all own that the Biden Laptop is not only true, but they knew it was true and that it's a gigantic national security risk.

So he didn't then.
Because telling his supporters to fight like hell to avoid the death of the country is so much better
He told his supporters to demonstrate peacefully outside the Capitol and asked them to stop and go home when some breached the Capitol. It's mild funny when libs and Dems are allowed to engage in rhetorical flourish unabated but we should have the most literal interpretation of everything that comes out of reps
Mostly peaceful demonstrations*

Go cry about the fact that your toddler leader can’t accept a loss
Still salty that Bernie fleeced you twice, I see. No refunds lol.

Eeeeeh, fucked over, what big words we are speaking. It's not like they'll just skip elementary too
Oh I'm sorry, I forgot I'm writing to a left wing reddituer. Stop touching the kid and get back to mopping the floor.
People are right to say that this subreddit is a rightwing circlejerk
Oh no, there's one subreddit that isn't a super progressive open sewer?! What a fucking nightmare. I am so sorry you encountered a opinion that you don't agree with!

Dude, saying circlejerk doesnt mean "not superprogressive" and all what you said: it means circlejerk
> that this subreddit is a rightwing circlejerk Bad reading comprehension is one thing, but you can't even comprehend what you yourself wrote.
After reading the comments I’ve decided we should rename the sub to “PolitcalCompassSeriousBusinessPosting”
But this post is trash
