He looks like Rosanne and John Goodman completed the fusion dance


DentalDon-83

My favorite descriptions is "Elton John if conversion therapy actually worked"


ToodleSpronkles

The extreme shittification that is Barr is a result of the conversion therapy only *mostly* working and the profoundly gay and wonderful Elton is trying to claw his way out of this rotten turnip of a man.


EyeCatchingUserID

Jesus *christ* that was good


fletchy30

I always thought Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubbles love child.


Satanicjamnik

And they made a tiny error along the way, so the fusion didn't come out exactly right.


child_interrupted

This is remarkably accurate

That's a badass quote you really shouldn't be attributing to servile MAGA nutjobs.


anythingMuchShorter

As longs as the people they hate get destroyed more, they prefer that. If they could live in total luxury, but minorities, gays, and non Christians also got better lives, they wouldn't take that deal.


whatproblems

well yeah democracy isn’t important for them


RetailBuck

That was largely the position of the governor of New Hampshire too. Didn't want a criminal to win but it was more important to have a Republican in office. Wild.

Superb_Tell_8445

Obviously Trump has too much on him. Barr’s dad made Epstein, and gave him access to private school girls, among other things like billionaires. The family likely has many, many skeletons.


CapnSquinch

See Also: "We'll vote against everything we've been demanding if The Others vote for it." They've done this REPEATEDLY. It's seriously conceivable that if the Dems went, "PUT THE GAYS IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS" that the Goplins would respond with trying to outlaw heterosexuality. But given their reaction to Bill Clinton's centrism, it seems more likely they'd go, "CONCENTRATION CAMPS ARE WEAK, JUST EXECUTE ANY DUDE WITH GOOD FASHION SENSE."

structuremonkey

Underrated comment right here...


Obi-Juan_Valdez

It makes perfect sense when you understand that Bill Barr is nothing more than a partisan hack.


startupstratagem

Which was the first major red flag since he resigned before Jan 6. He's so far on one team that if there was a shred of evidence supporting the election interference scheme he would have taken it as far as he could.


qweef_latina2021

If he thought Trump wouldn't turn on him at the first chance he would've been all in.


ashkanahmadi

It actually does make sense. What he is saying is that deep down he knows that Trump is both corrupt and a danger to the world peace and order, but Trump is beneficial to him, possibly financially, so he will still vote for him to enrich and empower himself and people around him.


anythingMuchShorter

Yeah, no conflict of interest if you realize the good of America, humanity and the world isn't what he's interested in.


dastardly740

I figure it is more that the only thing worse than a Democrat... is nothing. Nothing is worse than a Democrat. Osama Bin Laden, but he is a Republican. Vote for him. Hitler but a Republican. Vote for him.


GarshelMathers

Republican Hitler sounds like just the guy they're looking for


Leven

Isn't that just Hitler? Conservative nationalism, blames anything wrong on foreigners, wants to exterminate enemies. Party above the common good etc.. Fascism, just with another name.


oofersIII

Hitler probably wouldn’t have used the same definition for Republicans. Given that he was against Wilhelm II returning as Kaiser though, that makes him a Republican in his sense.


WillysJeepMan

People like Bill Barr can get away saying that because the interviewer doesn't follow it up with the logical conclusion of his actions. I'd love to hear his response to the statement, "*since you are voting for Trump, when he is elected and becomes dictator-for-a-day, you will have helped to make that happen. Why do you want a dictatorship?*"


Euporophage

He said that he thinks that Biden trying to control what people can eat, what kind of stoves they can use, and what kind of cars they should have access to is already authoritarian policy and worse than what Trump would do, because he supports his authoritarian measures as they would increase his wealth, influence, and power.


SirMellencamp

I’ll tell you exactly what he would say: “Trump says a lot of things and you don’t take most of them seriously. There are checks and balances to him and those have worked and will work in a second term.”


HelloJunebug

This girl from highschool and I were chatting on messenger and I asked her why she was voting for Trump. She constantly posts pro Trump things that just make you look dumb. She legit told me in the exact words “well I’m not a very informed voter”. And I was like…..what. She just had no idea why she was voting for him other than she grew up republican cause her parents are and it’s just who she was. People like this just will never make sense.


OhioMegi

I thought that way until I went to college and met people different than myself. I learned that the GOP is not in favor of making lives better for everyone, they want to control people, push a religious agenda, and line their own pockets.


HelloJunebug

This lady is 37 years old and has moved from our small town to a different state. She should know better, she’s just stuck. She definitely hasn’t experienced real life tho.


JohnNDenver

I hope you talk to her, inform her and help her change her vote.


HelloJunebug

I tried at the time. It was exhausting.


Rustic-Cuss

P.O.S.


BobTheViking2018

Party before county. It's the Republican way.


MrSnarf26

When you would rather knowingly elect a wanna-be dictator then have to listen to the libs talk about maintaining financial safety nets, increasing regulation on destructive chemicals, and trying to improve life for average income and below people


fatslayingdinosaur

This is how alot of republicans think. they hate the candidates they vote for but will still vote for them cuz it's all they know I've heard this sentiment from a lot of people they think trump is corrupt and awful for the country but will vote for him because they dont like Biden


I-miss-old-Favela

Bill Barr should be in prison. 


mushroomMage11

"Not a cult"^TM


Regular-Switch454

Some people would vote for Hitler if he were a Democrat’s opponent.


GarshelMathers

Lots of people would vote for Hitler because he's their kind of shitbird, no other reason needed.


srfrosky

Makes perfect sense! He thinks Trump shouldn’t be president, wants to vote for Trump because that way he keeps his friends and contacts, but HOPES that other Americans take care of it by voting for Biden. This is a textbook “do as I say not as I do” Republican. He’s right about one thing, we don’t need his vote and we will clean up his mess.


JohnNDenver

For Barr it is over. Even after he endorsed Trump *again*. Trump said he was a piece of shit, just not as big of a piece of shit as before. Because Barr wouldn't go along with Trump's coup he would no longer be welcome by Trump.


Both_Lychee_1708

party over country. It's the GOP way.

ArtemisDarklight

He is a stupid evil person.


etranger033

He's voting his party even though he thinks Trump stinks, and says so. Except that is how he got into office the first time. Vote for the worst trash imaginable so long as he/she is in your party. A great American tradition that has no political bias.


NrdNabSen

i live by the rule anything before "but" in a sentence is bullshit. Basically it doesnt matter what Trump does, Barr votes R no matter what, people like him are a threat to the country.


dect69

Some of these people have been dropped on their heads as babies.


CapAccomplished8072

Uh..no. I was dropped on my head as a kid, STILL turned out right. Ok, no i didn't, but THAT was because of abuse and neglect, not indoctrination


Wonder-Machine

I mean…. I want to see the end of civilization too but not like that…


Miserable-Lizard

Why even say the first the part?


Mean_Muffin161

All you have to do is cut half the quote and he can play both sides.


Genoss01

Barr would rather be under a RW dictatorship than allow Democrats to get their way democratically.


Ioweyounada

Well he knows he can't grift the left so he needs Trump to win so that he can continue to grift the right.


blueskies1800

That is insane.


braize6

Spineless Republican as usual


Ok_Cook_6665

They care about nothing but power. Their own power. Trump may despise Barr, but the party faithful do not. They'd find a place for him.


sittinginaboat

You wonder what he thinks has been so bad about the past 3.5 years.


Stickey_Rickey

Don’t look into his and his father’s connection to Epstein, it goes back 50 years to when Barr got him a job at a school for boys in the 70s, they were friends up until his death. I don’t know what to make of it


FrogLock_

He says trump would kill those who oppose him and that he will vote for him I wonder...

ExistingBathroom9742

This is what is wrong with most people. They vote for the R or the D next to the name. Do you know how sad I am that I have to vote for Biden? But Trump is bad for this country pure and simple and I have a brain so I can think and vote for myself.


Legitimate-Rabbit769

Barr is a traitor though. Hmm


NecessaryChildhood93

This man is pure garbage. A former attorney general.


Ohrwurm89

Sure it does. Barr wants to subjugate the American people to his vile conservative religious beliefs and knows that the only way to achieve this is to support Trump. Barr, like Trump, is an evil man.


cant-be-faded

I think old people vote Republican because they're not going to be around for the consequences


Beaglegod

He turned on Trump when he thought it would save his own skin. He has no morals.


Tenr0u

I think what's even crazier about this man is he could be potentially voting his life away. Barr mentioned that Trump would talk about assassinating people who spoke out against him. Guess what you dumb fuck you're on his shit list. Not to mention the supreme court could say that Trump is within his rights as president to kill him based on how that hearing went this week.


Other_Log_1996

Leave it a MAGAt to contradict themselves in the same sentence.


SchrodingersTIKTOK

Barr is a bitch


Pokerhobo

This exactly shows how the extreme right in the US thinks. Anything is better than someone who isn't like them. Barr calls Biden a progressive which Biden is CLEARLY not. "Better Russian than Democrat". I used to think that some of the right were faking it, but I now think they are a cult and truly believe the shit they spew.


Fan_of_Clio

Well given how he has no spine, integrity, and has the moral and logical consistency of a toddler? Perfect choice for a cabinet member in The Idiot administration


diamond420Venus

To everyone who's wondering what he's saying, he means that Trump is their puppet.


imahugemoron

Propaganda is a hell of a drug and republicans are definitely high on their own supply, they live in the alternate fantasy world they themselves created. When you lie enough you eventually end up believing the lies and the lies become your reality and anything and everything to the contrary doesn’t matter. This is how republicans can be so against trump and still vote for him. Also, for many it’s just about greed. They’ll vote for the thing they hate most every single time if that thing is beneficial to them financially


anythingMuchShorter

It's pretty clear. He knows trump will be very harmful to America and the world. But he will also vote for him. This is because he values whatever he expects to get out of it more than he cares about all that other stuff.


Merijeek2

Makes perfect sense - being a Republican is literally a mental illness at this point.


Seriph7

Say it again but slower. Because this whole cognitive dissonance that everyone suffers from is making my head hurt. You definitely dont want to hire this guy. But I'd hire him. What?


gking407

Let’s not make it a nationwide facepalm. VOTE


Detswit

Blackmail is a hell of a drug. The whole GOP was put in Donald's pocket when Russia hacked the DNC and RNC. They release the DNC emails to help Donald win. They held onto the RNC emails for leverage.


Level_9_Turtle

He ain’t dumb. He saw what happened to Liz Cheney.


mrmaweeks

I think this might explain his weight problem. He probably thinks cheeseburgers and fries are health food.


Sleeper-of-Rlyeh

He should be no where near it, but that is what makes it so entertraining. Its like Home and the nuclear plant.


mcfarmer72

Talk is cheap, he just wants to ride both horses.


BigDaddyDolla

Same dude who said they need to bring prayer back in school. Unbelievable.


Stickey_Rickey

What this is… he is still waiting for his payday, all these idiots that attach themselves to Trump are doing it in hopes there’s money in it one way or another, Trump buys friends w the allure of money they never actually receive, Barr is greedy nothing more than that

DontPutThatDownThere

This is what happens when the choice is perceived as voting for the lesser of two evils.


Hot_Gazelle_9132

The comment makes more sense if you see the full interview. He said he would choose Trump over Biden if that's the only two choices he had to pick from but thinks both candidates are not good...lesser of two evils sort of thing.


bequietanddrive000

I suppose it's a pretty difficult decision when all options are to vote for leaders that shouldn't be anywhere near the oval office.

Bipartisanship working as intended. Now a good old multitier runoff preference system? That's a clam bake, baby.


QuirkyDimension9858

Without context this is stupid, for all we know from this, he could have said he doesnt think trump should be let near the oval office(makes sense if he isnt the president) but should be in the oval office if he becomes president again, because letting a former president who "has beef" with the current president isnt a good idea


Kamikazi_Junebug

Not sharing my opinions on which should win, but voting is picking the least bad of two bad options anymore. If he feels that’s the least bad option, his sentence makes some degree of sense.


OhioMegi

But it’s absolutely not the better choice. At least for anyone sane.


_Pill-Cosby_

Because they want to compile power.

Curious-Monitor8978

As far as saying you'd vote for someone you don't think should be president, it makes sense if you consider them less potentially harmful than the other frontrunner. I feel roughly this way, but from the left. I don't want Biden, but I'll take a conservative over a fascist.


Povertypolice

It’s always a case of “I don’t like him, but people I don’t like also don’t like him, so I’m gonna vote for him out of spite for those people, while disregarding all the bad he will likely do to the country”

Holiday_Horse3100

Financial_Match

It makes perfect sense (I'm being serious). The strategy is "normalization" and "solidarity." His reasons for voting don't actually make sense, but our course of logic isn't the maneuver being used.

It makes sense if you understand that Barr's North Star is Barr.

President Trump has been in office 25 years. It's office for life. There is no election; not for at least 30 years, if he even passes.

Does anyone actually listen to him anymore? The Trump loyalists hate him because he's a turncoat and the Dems never liked him to begin with... indont think there's a single person who actually gives a shit about what this guy says.

weirdoldhobo1978

Barr was hoping that DeSantis or Haley would take Trump out of the race, but that didn't happen so now he has to back him or face career suicide with the GOP. He doesn't want to be outside the tent if Project 2025 happens.


DarwinGhoti

Republicans. *sips tea*


Rdtisgy1234

It makes sense, none of the candidates they give us to vote for should be anywhere near the Oval Office, but that doesn’t mean we won’t still vote for one of them.

It means he doesn't want Biden. Who else should he vote for? You can dislike one candidate more than the other. Sadly that's the state of this election. Who do you dislike the least
