A Paucity of Posts

and a Torrent of Threads.

This is the difference, or should I say enthusiasm gap, between Biden Supporters and Trump haters
proving that which we've known all along, Biden is not loved, respected or even popular,
one might even say not considered efficacious in running the country.

He's just not Trump
(or Hillary, for that matter).

So, we get no posts of praise
Presidential and threads of threats to
Liberal Mental Health and fear of Trump's return from Elba...

It's a huge, unspoken, but clearly agreed upon:

Let's Go Brandon!

He's not even popular with those who elected him.
With them, even Putin is coming in second to Trump.

 

[Rotadom]

Where are all of the pro-Republican threads? Why must you always mention Trump? 600+ times and counting so far this year.

Hillary? Tump, Hillary, and Obama have stunted the mental maturity of the typical (you) ignorant American.

 

[Rotadom]

Putin being as popular as Trump is a glaring look into how much many Americans (you) hate America.

 

[Champakian]

As to post #3: Read my sigline, but you do make a point...

There are probably a significantly larger number of threads/posts
devoted to not just hating Republicans in general, but Republicans in the specific.

Even busybody has a problem with keeping up that sort of volume when it comes to mindless hate.

Your failure to articulate your point (whatever it was) isn't my fault.

I'm sorry, but I think/write above the Dick and Jane level.
There is no way that I can write down to the level of your comprehension skill set.

No lies there.

Trumpies like five threads for every grievance and two flags for every pickemuptruck

 

[jomar]

I suppose that's one way to look at it

Well, the loons sure take every opportunity to take their pet TDS out for walks every chance they get. The likes of Coati, KeithD, Butters, Lukskullfucker, Laz, Philthy Phil, pecksniff, Wrong element, zipperhead and a few others seem to have glossed over the fact that Mr. Joe Biden is president. They can't maintain a conversation without redirecting the topic back to Trump, without Trump they have nothing. Since they can't defend Biden's obvious incompetence they shift the conversation to *Orange Man Bad*, TDS IS ALL THEY GOT!!!

You seem unable to acknowledge that the previous President is the leader of the Republican party currently. As long as that's the case, you'll be hearing about it.

The same cannot be said about a former Secretary of State/First Lady...who gets mentioned a few times on this forum.

Part of the explanation of the "paucity of posts" (great turn of a phrase) is this. It's always easier to be the opposition party than the governing party. When you're the opposition party you can point at the action/inaction of the governing party and say "bad men! bad men!".

When you're the governing party, you have to deal with the backsplash of actions and inactions. That is part of the reason why elements of the media and individuals have the necessity to keep Trump "alive" and in the center. They spent four years on the offensive and now they're wanting to stay on the offensive - but it's much harder when Biden and their party are the ones whose actions/inactions are centerpiece.

Not that any of that stops anyone from trying to control the narrative by what they focus on, but it is a reason for why it happens - the pendulum of power.

My personal thoughts - I don't really boast when my candidate does what I expect them to do. I don't go to political rallies, I don't have political flags (or any other flags). Most of my political talk is criticism of others' perspectives (sometimes I'm an asshole about it too)

I never understood the Trumpie perspective that you need to fill stadiums in order to be seen as a good politician or representative. I think it's a personality type that I'm not fond of, which is why I mock people so badly most of the time. It just reminds me of the idiots in high school and college who needed all eyes on them to feel accomplished. (which is probably also why I hated the previous president so much)

Lest I remind you that Biden is president and has been president for over a year. Blaming Trump for Biden's incompetence is as feckless as Biden himself. My point is; if you want a conversation on current events then have a conversation on current events, Trump is irrelevant, Biden is in the drivers seat. If every conversation results in ducking behind Trump then I just move on, because, at that point it's not worth the time or energy. If "Trump is a bad man" is your defense for Biden, then your argument is disingenuous and I just ignore it. Most conversations from the above lot usually end up slinging insults. I've posted in the past that I'm not a Trump fan but I do like many of his policies, especially a comprehensive approach to border security but the loons see it as a big useless wall that doesn't work but are OK with a wall around the capital.

I blame him for things he's directly responsible for, like withdrawing from the Iran Deal...like decimating our state department....like sparring with our allies. That's not an excuse for Biden..it's just a literal observation of historical events that have led is here.

If Trump were no longer making or breaking the party candidates, I probably wouldn't even mention him....but he's literally the one that the RNC is following. Change that and you won't hear much about him.

I for one would be happy not to mention the idiot anymore. But he refuses to go away. How often do I bring up Sarah Palin or Mike Pence or Paul Ryan? I don't, because they're either out of politics or (in Pence's case) will soon learn that they're out of politics.

Thanks, Biden!!!

(for not being Trump-- that in itself is a huge step forward, but I have a whole thread appreciating Biden for coordinating with allies, standing up for minorities, rejecting the trickled-on economic theory, modeling civil behavior, etc.)

TDS is just a term used by overly defensive Deplorables. They are embarrassed to continue to have to make excuses every day for the latest stupid utterances from Mar-a-Lago. Every time you hear a Deplorable whine about TDS, be real careful to avoid their safe space, the poor dears.

I think my #grievancePorn would be a better approach. There are so many posts that just air grievances about a politician without any real policy being complained about. That doesn't need left or right slants to work either. I definitely feel like there was aimless complaints about the former president that went beyond logic.

There are plenty of legitimate criticisms against the current and former presidents. I would just prefer more specificity to policy rather than just blame.

 

[pecksniff]

Both Obama and Trump were expected to be transformative figures. Nobody expected Biden to be a transformative figure -- all we wanted of him was basic competence and a restoration of pre-2017 normalcy. And we have no cause for regret on those points.

like withdrawing from the Iran Deal...l

Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, pulling out of that agreement benefits everyone. Iran refused unannounced inspections of military installations, like the old saying goes "trust but verify"

ike decimating our state department....

How? Our state department was loaded with Obama holdovers, career bureaucrats that hated Trump and fought him at every turn.

like sparring with our allies.

Our allies were taking advantage of our generosity, plain english, they were sitting on their ass letting us to do the heavy lift

That's not an excuse for Biden..it's just a literal observation of historical events that have led is here.

Trump was treated unfairly from day one, not given a chance to implement any policy. Had to go through one investigation after another based on lies and hatred. Impeached twice along party lines. Politicians were calling for his impeachment before he was even inaugurated, pure hatred for four years. Most agreed he was boisterous and said a lot of dumb things but what the democrats did was criminal. What Durham's investigation exposes will be interesting.
