Dear Lit Forever-Trumpers: you're not fooling us by criticizing him now. You're easy to spot, and you'll always be Deplorables.

[RoryN]

Just so we're clear.

[ChloeTzang]

Who's criticizing him?

 

[RoryN]

Hooked two early.

 

[DeluxAuto]

Who's criticizing him?

Not enough of you hypocritical turds.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

I don't think they've caught on that carrying water for Trump means we get to automatically dismiss anything they say for the rest of their lives. They're either gullible or complicit, so their opinion is worthless.

Democrats realized early we had to throw Bill Clinton under the bus and move on.

That doesn't describe most Democrats I know.

The majority of people I know on all political sides tend to view things through political blinders. It's not a uniquely Trump thing.

 

[DeluxAuto]

It's not a uniquely Trump thing.

We've never seen the mass cultish behavior before trump.

 

[RoryN]

That doesn't describe most Democrats I know.

I grew up in an area that is heavily Democrat.

BrightShinyGirl is correct. Bill had to leave the friend's table, as far as they were concerned.

I called out Obama's faults. I've called out Biden's faults.

The taking ownership over a party's faults doesn't run equally amongst political parties. Not even close.

 

[SimonDoom]

We've never seen the mass cultish behavior before trump.

I don't disagree with that. There's no equivalent among Democrats and their regard for Clinton, Obama, or Biden to the way the GOP thinks about Trump right now. What we are seeing right now is unique. But bias, even extreme bias, is not new. I know plenty of Democrats, for example, who shoot down every suggestion of their chosen candidate's wrongdoing.

When "both sides" narratives are deployed it's always to excuse Republican misdeeds.

It might be a generational thing. I'm a late Boomer. I know many Boomers who seem constitutionally incapable of admitting that either of the Clintons have any faults.

Good point. That's probably at least partially at play.

 

[SimonDoom]

You might have perceived that in some cases, but you can't accuse me of that, because you cannot find any evidence of me excusing Republican misdeeds. Be careful about leaping to conclusions.

Pointing out that all sides are guilty of bias is not the same thing as whataboutism.

It was wrong for Bill Clinton to cheat on Hillary and lie about it under oath. It was wrong for Al Franken to harass Leeann Tweeden and it was proper for him to resign his Senate seat.

Yep, Clinton wasn't that hard to give up. Neither will Biden be if real criminality was unearthed. There's no idol worship among Democrats that we're finding for Trump among the swamp gassers.

Agreed. If Biden committed a crime, he must be punished.

And, with that, I have more integrity than any Deplorable.

It's that simple; the bar they've set is so very, very low.

For years, I've defended Hillary Clinton against accusations of criminality. But if hard evidence is ever presented to support any of the allegations made against her, I'll drop my support instantly.

Hilary's main faults in 2016 weren't hers

Bill was first. It was a different time then when they were in office and his issues with women and other things hit her more than it hit him. It was noticeable in how he stayed in the background. Her second fault was Obama saddling her with Benghazi. Third....she was a woman and the low dem turnout reflected that. A lot of "yay women" in public dem guys in private didn't vote, or didn't vote for her.

Well I not going to go down this rabbit hole just becoming a member here.
But I will ask this.
What did Hillary Clinton do as far as career wise to warrant becoming the president?
I would also ask the same question about President Obama?
Both had resumes befitting a mid level manager of a local insurance company.
The cult of political parties has always been as bad as today. It just with social media it’s now global rather than just the local extreme wackos on the evening news. Any person who wants to be president should be banned from the position. It shows an extreme lack of morals, honesty, integrity, and intelligence.

"We came, we saw, he died" - Hillary Clinton on Colonel Gaddafi

Libya has since been reduced to a failed state wasteland, dominated by tribal warfare, two conflicting governments, and people smugglers across the Mediterranean Sea, with many of the migrants drowning in the Mediterranean. Libya was once in the top 2-3 most prosperous states in Africa under Gaddafi. It's an amazing coincidence how he was overthrown soon after talking about a Pan-African reserve currency.

The "jig" is already up.

Take this spreadsheet alt and fuck off. Bye.

Hillary Clinton

She's not a party's leading candidate. For almost a decade.

What did Hillary Clinton do as far as career wise to warrant becoming the president?

Secretary of State.

Go away.
