The members of the Wolf Eating Faces party are smart enough to know there is a wolf eating faces. Their white privilege simply makes them think they are immune to the threat. These are some of the most well-educated people on the planet. They just don't mind a good tablespoon full of racism, xenophobia, other-ism, and bold lies in their daily morning coffee.Some (most) are, but I do believe some really were that stupid. Like the Wolf Eating People's faces meme, some people just do not care until it personally effects them somehow.
This is my favorite part, he loathes his supporters. I was talking to some friends last night on how 90% of Republican elected officials absolutely would never hang out with the majority of their own base voters.This adviser, who spoke to Trump on Wednesday amid the siege, said Trump watched the events on television intently. CNN reported that he was so excited by the action, it "freaked out" some staffers around him. The adviser told me that Trump expressed disgust on aesthetic grounds over how "low class" his supporters looked. "He doesn't like low class things," the adviser said, explaining that Trump had a similar reaction over the summer to a video of Brad Parscale, his former campaign manager, shirtless and drinking a beer in his driveway during a mental health emergency in which police tackled him and seized his weapons. "He kept mentioning, 'Oh, did you see him in his beer shirt?' He was annoyed. To him, it's just low class, in other words."
it has always been like this. republicans want to convey the "have a beer with me" guy while being privately disgusted with their own base. most centrist liberals probably feel similarly about general left contingent and actual leftists.This is my favorite part, he loathes his supporters.

i feel like dems are pretty open about hating leftistsit has always been like this. republicans want to convey the "have a beer with me" guy while being privately disgusted with their own base. most centrist liberals probably feel similarly about general left contingent and actual leftists.

This is so perfect and hilarious.The sincerity in some of these people's reactions is just baffling to me. Many are just psychopaths putting on a show now that the fires starting to burn them too, but there's way too many people that are legitimately shocked by these events like they had no idea they were coming.
Colluding with foreign governments - "We good"
Kids in cages - "We good"
Too many racist events to fully recount - "We good"
Out of control pandemic that's caused 400k deaths and untold economic damage - "We good"
Abusing the office of the Pres for personal and political gain, including trying to coerce a foreign government to damage a US citizen and political rival - "We good"
More lies than anyone could ever process on literally every subject imaginable - "We good"
Undermining and questioning the very foundations of the US election system for years and months on end - "We good"
Worlds most embarrassing and blatant coup anyone with a brain could see coming for miles away - "Are we the baddies?"
Delusional or dishonest. Surprised there are staff members who would claim to fall into the former category. Feels a tad opportunistic.
Gonna be a lot of interviews soon where the employer is going to have to ask "So, can you explain this four-year gap in your resume?"
Hugh Hewitt turning on Trump is something I never expected to see. The rats are truly fleeing.Senator Ben Sasse On Impeachment and Transition, the GOP in Minority - The Hugh Hewitt Show
Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) joined me this morning:hughhewitt.com
GOP Sen Sasse per his conversations with GOP White House officials: Trump was wandering around the White House confused why no one else was excited as he was as the US Capitol was being over-run. Says Trump was "delighted." Audio of the interview in the link.
Yep, either that, or there's actually a line hardline Republicans won't cross.... Unfortunately it's the actual point of treason...Hugh Hewitt turning on Trump is something I never expected to see. The rats are truly fleeing.
Let's get something straight:
They knew from Day One what this man was. They simply did not care.
Their declaration of some half-assed mea culpa is because shit finally went so incredibly south that their boy incited an attempted violent coup of the Capitol.
These people are genuinely scared of what happens next, especially if the Democrats get serious about launching investigations into who might have known this revolt was coming, including staff, politicians, law enforcement, etc.
It's cover your ass time, nothing more.
Far too much self awareness for Miller. I've read up on him. He's fully devoted to his fascist cause and has been since he was a teenager.
