I mean, that dude has been anything but sleepy. Considering the epic shit-show he inherited, I think he’s doing quite well.

My comment really wasn’t meant to point out what I think of Joe. But rather, to point out the insanity of a person with four indictments and two impeachments, being the republican front runner.

Like it or not, there is a reason he has so much support. His values are the values of the majority of Republicans in this country.

It makes me sad to realize that so many people have chosen hatred over love.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Hatred over sanity.

[–] DadeMurphy@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can agree with that, but most republicans seems to be a bit extremist these days. So, that’s not really saying anything good about him or his supporters.

Putting aside what we think of him, the rest of the world thought he was a joke, and I highly doubt the way he handled his loss, helped any.

I'm just passing through but I read your comments above. I just want to say thanks for having a civil responses despite being downvoted for an unpopular opinion.

This kind of discourse, rather than the frothing at the mouth slap fights on Reddit, help grow the community and prevent this place from being an echo chamber.

It's really refreshing to see people just talk to people like they are humans rather than that they are the fucking enemy and shout buzzwords and malformed opinions for fucking internet points.

The only thing Trump values is Trump.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

What an odd coincidence! Conservatives also only care about themselves!

Conservatism is a plague of selfishness, idiocy and oppression.

Narcissistic self-interest?
