The guy is a co-founder of Bain Capital, how do you come to the conclusion that this guy isn't willing to do literally anything for a dump truck full of money?
Fucking libs being like "Well I don't agree with anything he ever said or did but by jingo I respect him as a person".
Chapo's whole "name your enemies" thing was very important for my development in to the burning cinder of hatred I am today.
Someone was telling me how great John McCain was bc he dissed trump and I'm just like my brother in christ he set children on fire from the safety of the sky idgaf that he was mean to the real estate buffoon.
did you know that Mitt Romney gives 47 percent of his income to the Islamic Republic of Iran? google "mitt romney 47 percent"
🆒🇺🇲📠
You can be one of the most powerful Republicans in the country and all you have to do to get a lib's approval is say 'trump bad'. Is this intellectual dishonesty or just intellectual non-existence?
This is the logical conclusion of only ever participating in politics within the extremely narrow range of contradictory positions that the public is offered.
Liberal dems are an inch away from liberal republicans. Trump not following the usual kayfabe is their problem with him.
Liberals were happy enough to get their hate-on against George Bush and Dick Cheney when they were in office. Its only after leaving office that they got hagiographies and a proper white-washing. That's instrumental in the "We may be facing the last election of our lives! Vote like your lives depend on it!" electoralist hysteria.
You need to purge people's brains of the transient follies of the last administration in order to convince them that this time is the MOST IMPORTANT moment of their lives. We aren't living in an era of decline. We're always at a tipping point and only you can help please send $15.
That’s what a lot of them are, Republicans who got alienated from the GOP due to the neocons implosion and the religious right’s fanaticism and went to the Dems.
It's not that. They were always an inch away. Obama himself admits that he would have been a republican when Reagan was in power.
Jesus Christ any more concessions and I'd think it to be satire
That instance has more concessions and projection than an IMAX theater.
That was the instance I made my first account on actually. I wonder what makes it so attractive to shit takes
it's in the name. and also a mod team that's very comfortable with fash shit.
Any more concessions and we'll be walking out with popcorn and MM's lol
My god. If these guys caved any faster we could send them to rescue lost thai children.
Why do they feel the need to do this?
civility fetishism (if we're rude to our enemies that makes us just as bad as them) + sincere ideological overlap (bourgeois class consciousness, racism, imperialism, colonialism, liberalism as diet fascism).
Where was this person in 2012?
Romney was absolutely enemy number one at the time, and liberals were making fun of him because he called Russia a threat to the USA, if any younger folks reading this can believe it.
Honestly I think that's a big part of why he's a liberal darling he was on that cold war shit even before them.
this is super true, every time an article about him is posted on r/politics (which i still look at occasionally when i want to read 17 straight "trump is finished for real this time" op eds) there's always at least one comment talking about how he tried to warn us about putler
I was very much not old enough to care about politics at the time and even I remember that
In 6th grade
You can say whatever you want about him, but one thing I'm fairly certain is that at the end of the day Mitt Romney had binders full of women.
He had binders full of corporations that presented as female.
Corporations are people, my friend.
Mitt Romney cared about the average American
No, he didn't. He said 47% of Americans are basically worthless.
I’m also not saying he didn’t attempt to make himself and those around him stupid rich, but that he wasn’t going to do so by throwing everyone and everything out the window to obtain it
Attempt? He did do that, and you don't realize you don't become that rich by not being a horrible person because you're a lib.
Patriarch in a family of sociopaths always seemed so nice. Can't believe he had a basement full of corpses.
During the 650-mile (1,050 km) trip, Seamus got diarrhea. The Romneys were first alerted to the Irish Setter’s bowel issues when Tagg noticed brown liquid pouring down the back window, followed immediately by him and his younger brothers yelling in disgust. Romney stopped at a gas station to wash the dog, the carrier, and the car. With Seamus back in the carrier, the family continued on their way.
How are politicians real?
Ive heard liberals say the same thing about gwbush. Its really insane
Can one of you beautiful people please post the bone stealer comic. Today is my first day on the internet and I can't find it
I don't know what policies he supported or what his past is or who he is as a person. I just know he has a square head and a neat haircut and wears a suit and speaks a certain way. That's what I respect about him. We need more people like that in office. They are noble opponents.
🥰
How did Mitt Romney come anywhere close to caring about the average American lmao
Because he is a Neoliberal and not a mask off Fascist. Not that he did anything to stop the rising tide of Fascism, he is a Neoliberal after all..
I’m not saying he didn’t kill puppies with his bare hands for fun, but he did so with the intention to help out his fellow American countrymen so I really can’t help but respect the guy.
he did drive with his dog strapped to the roof of his car though
First of all that’s blatantly false, but even if it wasn’t, that’s worse!
I’d rather the man who does evil as a selfish cynic than the man who does evil genuinely believing he’s making the world a better place. The first one will screw people over to make him and his friends richer, the second will round up all the undesirables.
Just really goes to show that actions mean shit when you can get on a liberal’s good side with nothing but flowery words
No successful politician in the international community cares about anything other than their personal career and wealth. They literally have no beliefs or principles
Love it when my ruthless overlords are polite. Just makes my day.
I'm pretty sure he had some choice words about poor elderly people back in the day when ranting about certain welfare policies. Heck, it was played ad infinitum to drive home what a piece of shit he was.
Say what you will about our past enemies, but they weren’t ontologically evil like our current enemies.
You know how we're waiting for boomers to die? Now we have to wait out trump derangement syndrome millennial libs.
Fan fucking tastic.
These people can't even remember as far back as the 2012 election where Romney was the most evil man ever™
