If Democrats always have to answer for the sins of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, real or imagined, Republicans should be saddled with the sins of Trump for decades.

No turning the page, no fresh start, no bygones. They own this crap. A pox over their door.

Democrats have stupidly let George W Bush off the hook. Don’t do this shit again . Ever. Fuck.

And no, “history” isn’t gonna magically do it. “History” is not some sentient being deciding good guys and bad guys. It’s up to people. Don’t let bullshit positivity about Trump go unchallenged. Not a word of it. Forever.

“He was unorthodox”
“Fuck that he was a fascist”
“A great communicator “
“Dumb as shit”
“He had broad appeal”
“He lost the popular vote TWICE, nobody’s ever done that”

Yeah yeah I’ve heard you promise a million times you won’t do it with Trump and it’ll be different this time.

I DONT BELIEVE YOU.

So I’ll be a pain in the ass about it

I don’t believe you cause I saw Bush slaughter thousands in Iraq and liberals said his name would be mud forever and now I regularly have to interact with liberals who say “well but Bush loved the country and wasn’t a traitor” which is bulllll.

So yeah, I don’t trust libs w this

That people are responding to this thread with things like “what negative stuff about Carter” tells me you guys need to get out of the bubble. Carter has been invoked with regularity as a symbol of fecklessness and weakness w multiple Dems. It’s part of standard gop playbook.

i hate that post-9/11 and sandy hook that loss of life does not have the same punch it used to, both for myself, and for all of us. 20+ yrs ago, 5 people dead at the capitol would be a "holy shit" kind of thing and while its still obviously shocking its not shocking like before.

now its like "yeah, 5 people died at the capitol on wednesday. yep." or "4,000 people died from a virus yesterday. sure." or "some guy killed 60 people in the middle of vegas. yeah, that happened." and we just ... move along.

(i still find it weird how the vegas shooting got a collective shrug)

re dana bash. yes, thats why you let them know when they screw up. they actually hear you, despite claiming they can't.

theres a strong culture of "what's the point, theyre just going to keep doing [bad thing] anyway" with liberals. and i think this is precisely the wrong takeaway.

conservatives understand the value in jumping on top of people - politicians, media, institutions. it works.

liberals tend to do this thing - and i hate it - of "well ill just ignore/mute/hope they do better but don't say anything."

it doesn't work. all that does is tell the bad actors that you'll sit and take it. and they do more.

if i were white i think id be going to the cabin and yelling at cops without consequence all the time.

i imagine theres a concierge to show you the ropes, kind of like in that old snl skit. "this is your cabin. you dont have to wash your hands and every unit comes with a gender reveal explosion kit. heres a list of swears you can use with cops..."
