" What does that say about the left? America would rather have a jackass than a communist? Sounds reasonable to me. " What’s your point? So did Clinton, and Obama, and McCain, and Romney, and Bush, and Kerry, and every other candidate before them. Go to any college campus and you’ll find plenty of the ill informed and ignorant crying about safe spaces and violent words. Go to any city and you’ll find plenty of the ignorant and uninformed praising their Democratic masters that run their cities into the dirt. Devolving Wilds

What I find hilarious, is selective moral outrage. Both the left and the right do it, but it's commonly done most by whichever party lost. It's hypocrisy on display, and smarter people know it, and don't let these cries of selective moral outrage sway their opinions one way or another about more important issues. Etc, which candidate is the best for me politically, supersedes cries of selective moral outrage by the opposing side. Which means selective moral outrage is only designed to convince idiots to change their mind. Regardless if it's the left or the right doing it.
All of the critics of Trump in this topic are pushing selective moral outrage, incredibly hard. I know some of the others here are wise enough to have picked up on that fairly early on as well. I wish I had a dollar for every TOP KEK! moment I had in this topic. Last edited by MrSmiley21 on Oct 22, 2017, 3:08:37 PM

"It's a memory thing. I've been thinking a lot about memory lately. About how the ability to remember more things with higher accuracy is a measure of mental fitness, and how the creation of false memory is the hallmark of mental illness. I've been thinking about the end of the Momento movie (old Nolan flick) and the choice of a character to deliberately corrupt their own memory. It used to be said that he who is not sided with the Left at twenty compels one to doubt the generosity of his heart; but he who, after thirty, persists, compels one to doubt the soundness of his mind. The continued popularity of the Left among the Gen X and Boomer crowd seems to show that the Left has overcome this one-time weakness, but I don't think they've done it by winning the argument... I think they've done it by realizing the importance of memory. If the truth of experience is painted over with willful forgetfulness and revisionist history... if they can get people to not care or think about anything that those very people saw or heard more than, say, ten years prior... if people are so thoroughly emersed in hedonistic consumption and their childrearing delayed so as to divorce them from responsibility and family values... then they've managed to prevent people from ever surpassing the mental age of 30, and created an infantilized population with more heart than sense. I don't quite understand how this is done, but I see it everywhere: people simply don't remember what the Bush presidency was like, they don't remember Obama's campaign promises, they simply aren't playing with all of the evidence even though they were there. I don't honestly believe it's selective moral outrage or hypocrisy on display, I think they've literally forgotten that this isn't the first time these things are happening. It's as if Obama winning meant the Before Time was over and no longer worth holding onto, unless you were a grumpily old birther. Or maybe they were just too busy watching TV and getting tattoos to give a fuck. But I think the scariest part is: there are people behind this who are making a choice between the integrity of memory and Leftist political objectives, and they're sacrificing the former to the latter. And like Leonard Shelby, I don't think they even think they're evil. Maybe they think the Right did it first and revenge is justice. Who knows. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

Currently
there is a *little* problem in the white house and basically the whole world is concerned about that unstabile immoral loony asshole. But hey, have some memories, write some walls of text. gn8 |

Scrotie, my criticism of Trump has zero to do with political alignments. I'd criticize a corrupt liar of any party in the role of president equally.
This is all about quality of human character. In my opinion, he has none. That in itself makes him unfit to lead any political party. |
