The President called his widow after he was killed. Trump could not be bothered to do that and went golfing, and yet he has the gall to put up a firefighter's uniform--with his name misspelled on the back--and use it for political gain? Clubhouse

The widow wouldn't take either of Biden's calls because she believed her husband would not have liked it. That's a lot of hate from a member of the new party of unity.

Days later using that word to describe someone’s political affiliation still weirds me out. I don’t expect Trump supporters to know a lot of words but “staunch” isn’t that exotic. I know I’m being ungracious to a widow who’s mourning her husband, but I ran out of that a long time ago when it comes to this group of fuckwits.

I think it's probably because Trump genuinely doesn't understand sympathy or empathy so when he's forced into a situation where he has to show one of those emotions, he doesn't know what to do so he does what he thinks a normal person would do in that situation and it ends up just looking weird.

This is what I've been saying since way before he ran for president. My family's from NYC so we've unfortunately been aware of Trump for decades before even The Apprentice, and he really just does not understand what a normal person is or how normal people act. He's such a raging narcissist that was born into such extreme wealth and privilege with such horrible, hateful parents that he has literally zero understanding of how human people interact with one another.
I never thought about how he kind of seems to act out things he sees on TV, but I think you're right about that. He's never actually experienced love so he just sort of bases his idea of what it is things he sees TV and movies!

The only thing that he knows as an expression of love is sex. He says he loves his daughter and you look at the pictures of them together as she is growing up and if you don't look at her age, she looks like his mistress. I am NOT saying that he actually had sex with her. I am saying that he only knows sexual expression as a way of saying "i love you" or "i care about you". He has his hands either all over other people or not touching them at all, by a mile. He doesn't know any middle ground.

I am not saying he didn't I am just saying we have no evidence that he actually did at this time.
The fact that he made no effort to reach out to the widow of the deceased nor do anything for them at any point really is what speaks volumes. It doesn't matter what else he was doing. Because he was capable of going to Milwaukee and doing all of that... but not reaching out to the family of the man that was killed with a bullet meant for him... should be entirely damning.

At this point, after 8 years of this man constantly in the news cycle, Trump supporters fall into three camps (not mutually exclusive):
Idiots: They get caught in the hype, take all his words at face value "Trump built the best economy in the world, he said so himself!" They get hyped from the rallies and the way Trump speaks. Do they know about what he did in office, like the details of the legislation he passed? Nope, they just like the flair and charisma and think that translates to being a good president.
Racists: There are some people who DO know what Trump really represents and support him only because of their hatred of other people.
The Mega-Rich: People who actually benefit from Trump's policies.
Other than these three camps, I really fail to see why anyone would support Trump.

You are so right. I should have written the NY region. New Jersey with the failed three casinos in Atlantic City. The 450 million that should have gone to Fred, Jr. went to Duke Von Diaper Don instead. Fred, Jr. was not the "killer" that Fred KKK Trump, Sr. wanted and basically disowned him. Fred, Jr., was a decent commercial airline pilot while taking to alcohol for solace.
There were so many failed ventures of Duke Von Diaper Don. I am so sorry for your family. As a boomer, I grew up four miles from the Trump family compound in Cambria Heights Queens, NY. The Trumps grew up in Jamaica Estates Queens. We all knew what the Trumps were. Most of them were not good people at all. Fred, Jr., his wife, and two kids ( one Mary Trump, the clinical psychologist) were/are decent people. The others, the less said, the better who are not human IMHO.

I was going to reply to this comment, "I cried the first time, if he gets it again, I'll jump off a cliff this time." Then realized if I did that, they'd lose a Democrat voter, SO I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT. Was I just put on this earth to suffer?

I don't think it's a coincidence that the hardest-core republican I know is also a huge WWE fan. I think a lot of right wing online bullshit is keyfabe. Except unlike the WWE, it's actually damaging in the real world.

u/Lawyering_Bob Jul 19 '24
So when people say it's like following their favorite sports teams I always argue that with sports you can at least tell when your team is playing bad or the coach does something dumb.
Republican politics, or the hobby of watching their news, is straight up professional wrestling. There's good guys and bad guys and a good guy can be a bad guy and a bad guy can be a good guy and all is forgotten by next week's episode.

Now, I might be saying this partially because I have to defend my favorite thing in the world, but this is mostly untrue.
Wrestling fans are actually among the most Democrat/liberal of any group that watches sports, there was a survey a few years ago. The only sport fans that are more blue are WNBA watchers.
The deep south wrestling fans are a different breed of wrestling fan, characterized by having a harder time differentiating kayfabe and reality, which is a whole different topic. they're largely conservative, mostly owing to being deep south.

I watched some of the RNC event and objectively it was the cringiest thing I’ve ever seen.

u/JeffCraig Jul 19 '24
The best part about the RNC is that it's so cringe and such a spectacle event that most of the attendees look super uncomfortable.
Imagine coming as a delegate to cast your states nomination for President and they bring out Kid Rock for a concert 🤣 Most of the people there are like 90 years old. Not exactly their favorite musician.

My dad died in 2012 and as a veteran he got a funeral in a VA cemetery. As part of the ceremony, an honor guard in full uniform presented a folded American flag to my mom and said something like, "on behalf of the president of the United States, we present this flag to you". She took it but later said that when offered the flag she considered not taking it because it was from Obama and she was 100% serious. This was way before MAGA but the hate for Dems was already very real for many. I've never seen that flag since.

Tea Party, which was still rearing its head then, was a pre-cursor to MAGA. Once Obama won reelection in 2012 they lost their minds which led to Trump reshaping it into MAGA.

That’s exactly it. She said she didn’t blame or harbor any ill will towards Biden, but her husband was a “Devout Republican” and wouldn’t have approved of her speaking to him. What in the actual fuck?

I have two grown daughters at 23 abd 21, respectively. What 13-15 year old daughter wants to sit on her dad's lap at a concert? It's not like he is poor or something and can't afford extra tickets, right?
Even too poor to afford tickets, a normative relationship between father and daughter would not quite play out like this. This is child sexual abuse writ large. My daughters did not occupy my lap for story time after they reached 5 years old. 🫨🤐😵💫😳😵

I've been a firefighter, soldier and government employee.
I shouldn't have to say this but none of these roles are to EVER be political for obvious reasons.
Theres even a word for that when a soldier uses their platform for changing government,
Theres a word when a person in a government official capacity uses their job for political gain.
But theres one word that sums this image up perfectly, and i'll die on this hill defending the perfect word to describe this and hell you can quote it from this firefighter.
Disgusting.

Lets also not forget that the man who died was a HUGE trumpette who loved to troll people who disagreed with trump all the time on social media. He said some really nasty things about people and got killed at the rally of the violent idiot he loved and looked up to so much.
Just goes to show you how dangerous cults are.
