Since that can’t be denied they’ve shifted to turning his poor choices into some Machiavellian scheme to “expose” them.

OK, don't blame your boyfriend. Look in the mirror and blame yourself. You love the victimization complex you have so much. No amount of "winning" will get you over it.

Another centrist article that attacks Trump. What a shock.

You want me to just go ahead and agree with you on your endless outrage and blame of Trump for everything you can possibly think of? Hell I’m just sitting here. You’re (y’all) the one constantly up in arms over the never ending list of complaints about Trump. So who’s got the victim complex again??

There were already plenty of tribal categories in existence.
Race was just a new one that got thrown on the pile.

Agree. But only because that baby brain has no life experience. Give it time and it will learn.

Trump is a huge statist, though.


Every politician, and 99% of people in general, are statists... just to varying degrees.

The media has become partisan because the Left is smarter than the Right and invested in better institutions decades ago. The media, academia, tech are much better for politics than church, suburbia, and C-Suites.


The media has become partisan because corrupt people seek to accumulate and abuse power. That’s a universal truth about humans throughout history.

To say they are winning is like saying someone that cuts a line is winning. They are only winning because people still stand in line.

Imo a big part of it has been the decline of church attendance in the United States. Way too many people now are finding religiosity in politics instead of actually going to church.

In all honesty, you probably can draw a correlation to the decline in faith and consistent attendance in church and the community it creates and the polarization of politics. Religion may be a big tribe, but it does overcome politically ideological tribes and tribes of race.

It's more than just Biden. Trump's taken huge Ls in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Biden was only around for one of those (and was basically a dead body on the ballot). This is all Trump, and how he's turned off enough key voters to be unelectable (along with his merry band of sycophants).

Sounds exactly like a brainwashed cult member would say, when that cult has no principles to fall back on.

OK so stop pretending Trump stands for freedom and start associating Trumpism with statism.

A big part of this is that the right chose church as one of its primary institutions to invest in, which led to disassociation by leftists in time. The right choose poorly in terms of societal-political impact.

The Left has shown the media, academia, etc. were much smarter institutions to invest in, socio-politically.

Giving up education was the real prize. There’s a reason Lenin wanted the children.

Biden's administration has been about as terrible as anyone could have imagined. He's not even that popular among democrats. And he's STILL trouncing Trump in head to head polls right now. To be losing to Biden in polls you have to be very disliked by the general public.
