In Sunday’s interview with Kristen Welker, Trump went with his classic playbook of vague answers and conspiracy theories.
I didn’t watch, but this was taped, meaning they could add context retrospectively.
Trump repeatedly lied that Democrats advocate for post-birth abortion and abortions up to “five, six, seven, eight, nine months."
Did the host say “that is a lie?” Or did they at least put up text that said “This is false, post-birth abortion already has a clearer definition of ‘murder’ which is not a Democratic party platform.”
Thing is, his lil followers don’t care. They never cared. They only care that he’ll hurt the people they don’t like. “Owning the libs” Is more important to them than actual governance.
They’re fine gett getting fucked over as long as libs are getting fucked over too. The phrase “they would eat shit as long as a liberal has to smell their breath” comes to mind.
It’s not just Trump. It’s the entire GOP. Since at least the early ‘90s the ‘Pubs have been purely an opposition party that trades on ignorance and hate.
They have nothing to advocate for because they got everything they wanted a long time ago with the dismantling of the public trust and all the tax cuts. Killing Roe was a lark they only did for PR value but hey they got that too.
I wish people would realize that US politics isn’t a marketplace of ideas. It’s not about competing philosophies. There are some dug in motherfuckers who live only to consolidate their own power and wealth further and further.
It’s impossible to win a debate with an opponent who doesn’t even put forth an argument. Something something you just get dirty wrestling a pig and the pig enjoys the romp.
In a word: we can take our country and future from these assholes, or let them keep it. They don’t share.
