IF BIDEN HAD HUNG

[4bonhoffer]

If Biden had hung a giant banner of himself at the DOJ. Fox would have exploded and PBS along with NPR would have multiple lengthy segments on how disastrous this is for our democracy. t gets crickets. WTF !

1. Or taken $10 billion from the Treasury

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Yep.

The Dumpster gets a shrug or a pass on all his demented behavior from our illustrious media.

If Trump was "normalized" we wouldn't be seeing the MASSIVE pushback from virtually every corner of this country we now see daily..

As for the idea that "America will NEVER be the same again", you have to look at it in context. America was 'never the same again' after a number of historic events -- The Assassination, of JFK, the Civil Rights movement, 9/11 etc. There's no need to assume the country will be completely destroyed by it, or even defined by it..

19. Hear hear! nt

23. What's been normalized is that American voters are collectively dumb enough to elect #rump twice

That's now a world-wide perception that won't change when #rump is gone, and it'll take more than one generation to erase that perception. That's something that's shaken me like none of those things you mentioned, because it casts doubt on the fundamental health of our democracy and the soundness of the supposed guardrails, and therefore doubts about it's future. Yes, one way or another, I believe we'll survive, but the next wannabe fascist dictator might not be as incompetent as this one.

27. Yes, Trump has been elected twice.

But that is neither "collective" nor normal.
Trump was not elected by a majority.(49.8).
Such a tiny margin does not signify collective responsibility on the part of the voters.

The only thing normal about American politics is that it swings back and forth between Repubs and Dems: Bush Sr - Clinton - Bush Jr - Obama - Trump 1.0 - Biden - Trump 2.0. After each "change election" or seismic national.event, someone always predicts that "America will never be the same". Today that person is you.

There are likely many reasons our politics are what they are, but they do not add up simply to "stupidity".

4. The Republican Party

has gotten a pass in the press in this country since Reagan. They would be perfectly happy with a 100% fascist takeover of this country but they were also smart enough to know that they needed to let the Dems be in charge every once in a while to fix and keep the economy from completely tanking and potentially reducing even their riches. Enough of them have reached the point where they believe that they are immune to economic downturns/collapses that they no longer care. After Miller and McConnell, who should be 1 and 2, I want Musk, Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ellison, and every other tech billionaire to at the front of the guillotine line!

5. We should all make it a point to contact the media outlets and complain about that

If they get 10000s of thousands of complaints, maybe they change. The other option is put them out of business but I don’t know that we can put ABC CBS NBC out of business.

[popsdenver]

13. Good luck with that

they would all just laugh at us being upset at being a sign that they are making great progress in controlling all the rhetoric in the U.S.

[KPN]

15. Yes we should, but who has the time to get that ball rolling to

the point where it might actually have an impact. Maybe someone who makes the leap of faith that enough Americans actually give enough of a rats ass to participate and make it happen.

[IronLionZion]

6. President Biden got ice cream in January, that was supposedly very scandalous

Defense Secretary Austin got hospital treatment without notifying the public.

I miss those types of scandals. I can tolerate temporary high egg prices or whatever they claimed Trump was going to fix.

[Harker]

8. That ranks up there with President Obama's tan suit.

[stage left]

12. President Obama

wore a tan suit and preferred Grey Poupon.

[Martin Eden]

7. Multiply that by a thousand outrages since Day One

When he pardoned all the violent insurrectionists who threatened the Vice President and members of Congress, desecrated our nation's capitol, and put more than 100 police officers in the hospital.

9. Saddam Trumpsein

10. The media has demonstrated what a joke they are

40 years of being labeled the liberal media and they’ve finally fallen in line with the right wing of this country. It’s not just that but what if Biden had been named tens of thousands of times in a child sex traffiking dossier? I mean we had months of reporting on a blow job the president received from a staffer. I mean it comical to think about it now.

[hay rick]

11. Everybody knows Trump is deranged.

Additional incidents are just confirmation of the same sad story. There is no element of surprise. A lot of it just looks like bait being thrown out to own the libtards. Reacting to every fresh outrage feels like giving in to being owned by a vindictive bully.

[Beartracks]

14. "Biden weaponized the Justice Department!" was just an announcement of what Republicans would do. n/t

[Skittles]

16. yeah

and try to imagine if a WOMAN / POC did that

[BigmanPigman]

17. That's what the bought and sold MSM does not understand

and why their decision to be on the tRump payroll will cost them viewers and $$$$$$$$$.

I will dance on the graves of the networks who will go bankrupt.

Man, they are dumber than dirt! My former 1st grade students could predict this it's so obvious. Americans have already turned off MSM. We have learned long ago that they are shills for team tRump. So viewers nave boycotted and switched to podcasts for actual news not filter through Stephen Miller's bony fingers of death.

When Kimmel and Colbert were attacked that was the last straw. Viewers have chosen to get objective news from different sources and they will NOT be returning. Do you hear that, you greedy MSM companies?!?

This has been proven by the protests and riots that have been forming without any info from MSM. The mass No Kings protests and anti-immigration protests are happening without the MSM. This is a very, very important shift that the corporate media companies missed the boat on.

Go bankrupt!!! Fuck the MCM and fuck Bari Weiss especially.

21. The gop would have impeached him.

[Blue Owl]

22. The M$M is essentially part of the GOP

[VegasVet]

24. What? Context would be nice. Can't believe people still don't get that here.

[Blues Heron]

26. Trump hung huge Hitler/saddam/Mussolini style banners of himself on the doj building in DC

[mahina]

25. NPR has covered it in the news and it gave me chills

I have heard it several times. They also talked about other buildings that he had done this to previously.

I don’t argue with your broader point. We’d be at a very different place if the press treated any of this insane stuff normally.
