this is the way it's been with every republican president during my lifetime. the reaction to w was extremely similar and i can only imagine how it would have been if the big social sites were widely used during his presidency.

As you said, the deep state has both parties. So what happened, was supposed to happen.

Trump was not supposed to become President.

Lol, if the deep state functions like how we think it does the president doesnt just accidentally happen.

Trump is either deep state (I think, there is no way he is friends will all those people and not) or a useful idiot.

Either way tptb want him there or preferred him there for reasons.

Supplying weapons to Saudi Arabia, staying in Afghanistan, US intervention in Syria. These are things he campaigned against, these are things the Obama admin did as well. So there are indicators pointing to him being a puppet or deep state. I'm not saying he is or isn't, just that there are indicators.

Wealthiest cabinet, Bolton, Pompeo, Haspel getting positions, Israel funding, big corporate tax cuts... We’ve been beyond “indicators” for a while now and it’s nutty to me that this sub will gladly go on about how the investigation is a distraction or just a show but still can’t put it together that it’s a distraction from the fact the general election did not matter and it’s the primaries where they weed out people that might actually help the average citizen over a corporation or contractor

if the big social sites were widely used during his presidency.

Its the memes. Obama was the first president to be exposed to memes, now Trump is a meme so of fucking course people are jumping all over him.

i think this is part of it. modern social media is also gamifide (retweets, like, upvotes) in a way that didn't really exist until around 10 years ago. even outside of politics you see people saying the most extreme and outlandish things to get attention. you can hardly tell who really believes what nowadays

People were pretty deranged about Obama too.

i agree but i think the larger issue under obama was how people weren't allowed to be critical. that was the beginning of this world of echo chambers we currently reside in, in my estimation. my politics have always been relatively moderate, but i was a registered dem at the beginning of his presidency. i reregistered as an independent in large part due to how i felt i couldn't question anything (such as the military's usage of drones) without being accused of holding a variety of weird and obscure views that don't pertain to me at all

i certainly don't deny there were people on the right who reacted very poorly to obama, as well

how people weren't allowed to be critical

Whatever, Fox was totally critical of Obummer when he wore that brown suit. They totally let him have it.

my point was that members of the same party weren't allowed to be critical, not that the opposition wasn't. clearly the opposition is always critical of the party in power. no one is denying that.

Do...do you not remember the eight years of insanity Republicans and Fox News operated under during Obama's time in office? Terrorist fist jab. Mustard on a burger. A tan suit. Secret Muslim faith. Interrupting a healthcare speech to Congress. A FAKE FUCKING BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

You guys love playing the victim even when you control all branches of government, it's pathetic.

who are the "you guys" you're referring to? i'm a registered independent, i don't watch fox, and i've never voted for a republic president.

But those things were promoted by conspiracy theorists (and Trump, admittedly) not by the entire mainstream media. There is zero comparison to the 24/7 hysteria about Trump since like 2015.

There was nothing like that under Obama. Those examples you provided are like a week of Trump conspiracies and bullshit stories in the actual supposedly respectful mainstream news.

Because Obama was a great president. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Oh, now I get what TDS is. It's brainwashing allowing people to still vote republican.

Yes, it is real.

Sorry but from people who think Onama was a gay muslim tearing america from the inside out and Hillary eats or fucks babies, this shit is ridiculous. Sure there are people who dont like Trump no matter what he does.

I really dont like the guy but I watched him give the medal of honor the other day and I thought he did great. He didnt talk about himself, he didn't start talking shit, he just made a couple light hearted jokes, but gave a dignified presentation. If acted like this all the time, the majority of my problems with him would go away. It's that he acts like a child and actively tries to piss off half the nation almost every day by saying some off the wall shit.

Right? We had fucking bithers and Gay Islam theories for years but whoa... Making fun of Trump is a disorder!

Head on over to the sub-that-shall-not-be-named and see how frequently "Michelle is a tranny!" comments and posts pop up, it's blatant racism masquerading as a conspiracy theory. Ten years after he first took office and these people still are pissed off a black man was elected to the highest seat in the land.

BROWN SUIT

MUSTARD

REEEEEEEEEEE

It's not a disease when I dont like when he acts like a dumb ass kid. It's me just observing his awful behavior and not liking it.

/murderedbywords

"yeah like Trump supporters aren't ignorant for worshipping a bafoon!"

L oh fucking L. Bwahahaha!

Wasn't making fun of you. That was some world class humor!

Very well done.

:)

Buffoon*

So why do you care about American politics? Don’t you want to know the right way to spell it?

Trump nominates and endorses convicted and accused rapists and pedophiles. I suppose that’s better?

In 2026 TDS will be added to the DSM mental illness list.

and we'll have to pay for it.

People supporting any sect of partisan /identity politics are delusional.

it's very simple, either you are Pro American or a communist. President Trump is Pro American.

You know, your right grandpa, America 1st or fuck you and your feelings you communist fuck. I like that attitude.

TDS=Mind Control. The media can literally say anything and segments of this country will eat it up no question asked.

Big difference in comparison to right-wing conspiracies that have almost no backing from any major media mouthpiece. The left can say anything they want on everything from Facebook, to NBC, to Google searches, algorithms, Comedy Central stand up specials, your kids education, and professional sports. The right-wing has talk radio, Breitbart, Voat, and maybe some churches. Almost every other forum or form of political communication is controlled by the Democratic Party.

He sure seems to keep his boss happy though.

Trump himself is fucking deranged

"GET THAT SONOVABITCH OFF THE FIELD"

He's ranting and raving and foaming at the mouth over football - something that has nothing to do with politics - because he knows it will enrage his racist base.

Yep. There is Trump Derangement Syndrome. He's had it for years.

THiS Is So TriGgeRiNG ! /s
