And of course, he wants you to side with the felon who was convicted on 34 counts by a jury of his peers…

EDIT: I love Colin Cowherd's reaction.

“Donald Trump is now a felon. His campaign chairman was a felon. So is his deputy campaign manager, his personal lawyer, his chief strategist, his national security adviser, his trade advisor, his foreign policy advisor … they’re all felons.”

“If everybody in your social circle is a felon, I don’t think it’s ‘rigged’. I don’t think the world’s against you. And to get people to agree on anything, 34 counts? Zero for 34? That’s a batting slump even the New York Mets could be impressed with.”

Which is hilarious, because Colin Cowherd is an asshole who gets paid to spew inflammatory sports takes on camera/radio, and I fucking agree with him.

Don't side with the conservative fascists...oh wait that's redundant.

Honestly the fascists make me miss the conservatives they at least had internal consistency on their morals. The fascists today just don't care, you could spend an hour having trump quote himself into a hypocritical corner but they don't bluster or bristle a bit because they don't care about being good, or righteous.

Its just sad, I just repeat myself at them over and over now, no fun quips or debates because they just can't handle it.

FTFY.

Fascists in general hate education - the most conservative social institution, so fascism doesn't imply conservatism.

Says the traitor who personally held up Armed Forces Promotion.

Fucking traitor.

I really wasn't sure, if the guy is attacking or supporting Trump, from just the quote.

Though, I guess, I should have known from trying to frame it as a war. Fascists have no basis for their political stance, without it being a made-up us vs. them situation.

He's a big time Trump supporter. He was probably among the first to shit his pants on Jan 6.

I love how they think anybody that believes things could improve are immediately anti-America. Not happy with status-quo? Get out, pinko commie!

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago
