Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images
Anyone engaging with a republican on any level other than that of a troll-troll argument are the real losers. They are bad faith actors. Saying whatever RJ Riley said is useless, you either have to just ignore them or tell them their mom eats dog poop or something even stupider
Um. What about Trump?
I mean Trump has literally been found to be a rapist in a court of law
Seems like the obvious example. Not sure why he wasn't mentioned there shrug
He's not currently in an active campaign for the next election I guess? He's for sure the most direct example but maybe not the most timely?
Proven in court without a doubt rapist who owes one of his victims millions of dollars.
Determined in civil court, which requires less than "beyond a reasonable doubt" that criminal court does. However it has been determined that Carroll claiming he raped her is not slander. So while he wouldn't be behind bars for it, he definitely deserves to be, for that and many other reasons.
Determined by a preponderance of the evidence (this standard is essentially slightly more likely than not as opposed to the stronger standards of clear and convincing or beyond a reasonable doubt) to be civilly liable for sexual abuse (he was found not liable for rape because while the jury believed it had been proved more likely than not she was penetrated by him they didn't believe it had been proved more likely than not that he used his penis to do so) for which he owes her damages, and then further damages for suing her for defamation for calling him a rapist (the judge there ruled that while he had not been found civilly liable for rape in the trial that the conduct he was found liable for met the colloquial definition of rape if not the NY penal code definition of such).
It's sort of like how OJ Simpson was never found guilty of murder, but he was found civilly liable for wrongful death for the same killings.
Republicans protect Trump the way the Catholic Church protects their pedophile priests.
He's a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and probable pedophile.
So, exactly what he needs to be to rise to the top of the GOP.
Every. Republican. Endorses. A. CHILD. RAPIST.
This is the Republican play book get upset about things they are doing way worse like gerrymandering, voter fraud, shipping in undocumented workers etc.
It's not like their voters are going to know their own party is doing much worse. Their propaganda networks wouldn't allow it.
How many allegations does Trump have against him that are every bit as credible as the one that sunk Platner's campaign? 37?
Not to mention that Republican support is the only thing that enables Trump to continue suppressing the Epstein files.
He is an adjudicated rapist, proven in court. He's such a confirmed rapist that he immediately owes Jean E Carroll millions of dollars anytime he says that he did not rape her. Which he did, in fact, do. It's wild they didn't use him as an example
Not only that, but Trump put Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS bench. (As did Susan Collins -- she since claims she regrets it.) The whole system punishes character integrity.
I just hate this so much.
The rules are designed to ONLY matter to people who are decent. They get to get away with everything, and then pretend to care that people on the other side are the only ones doing bad things.
The right would (rightfully) call out Biden being creepy for leaning in on girls and saying weird shit in their ears...
...but at the same time, they won't acknowledge Trump ON VIDEO talking about his baby daughter's legs and breasts, or saying he'd be dating his daughter...
...or the creepy pics of him having his daughter sitting on his lap during her early teen years.
It's just not fair. They don't play by any of the rules that only decent people will abide by.
Or, you know, the fact that he's a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and in the Epstein files more than Jesus is in the Bible.
Say, didn't Biden and the Dems have control over the files for 4 years and also didn't hold anyone accountable over it?
DEMOCRATS support RAPISTS!
-People who Support Jeffrey Epstein!
When you see an elephant you know the circus is in town 🤡 🎪 🐘
I was one of the people who thought that Al Franken was right to resign and not fight.
We have to be better than the GOP.
And by 'we' I mean anyone who wants Trump out.
What does better mean? The whole Franken thing was a deliberate stitch-up job, just like what happened to Corbyn. A centre right party expunging its left-leaning components on the pretense of lies so tenuous that only a billionaire-owned media could fail to report on them.
That is an incredibly low bar.
Is this real?
If so then fucking hell.
Of course it is real and I don't understand the gotcha tweets.
The Republican electorate doesn't care about hypocrisy. Social Media is heavily siloed such that no one with right leaning sympathy will see that reply. The reply will be under 500 others. The initial tweet will be someone's feed who will see it, absorb it and continue on. That's how this works, that's who it is for.
The same thing is true here. We only see this gotcha because someone posted it and this image will never be seen on truth social or whatever.
If you think a woman is an object to be used at your whim...go blow a handgrenade.
In fact. If you think you have a right to anyone's body, you are scum through to the soul.
Max Miller?!?
Oh, the other one.
Was platner a rapist? We're still doing trials before we conclude that, right?
The state must prove things beyond a reasonable doubt before they're allowed to use their power to punish someone. Individuals can use their own common sense and draw conclusions from the available information. Mine is telling me Platner is a rapist.
Y'all still supported him when you knew he murdered innocent civilians in the middle east and had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years, but the second he's accused of raping a white woman it's game over. Sick stuff.
Both parties can be bad.
And one of them can be clearly worse
So you're supporting a bad party.
Yes, that's how the system is designed. Additional parties with fresh opinions are logically extremely discouraged under the shitty two-party system which the US runs.
With that said, one party is clearly a clusterfuckton much worse than the other, so even beginning to put them in the same category as "bad" seems extremely disproportional.
Ah yes the Two Parties section of the constitution as envisioned by it's designers. Permanent and immutable, as intended. Nothing to do but vote and hope, just like the founders wanted.
Sounds like the system is designed poorly. Time to start over!
Two things can be bad. Are we just giving up on nuance these days?
Nuance like acknowledging that while two things can be bad, one of them can still be worse than the other?
Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about nuance
