I think the context matters. Just reading the paper and ask someone what their sign is so you can laugh at the horoscope section? Not really a huge deal. First date and using it as an ice breaker to get someone to talk about themselves? Mayyyyybe. Treating it with any actual level of seriousness is definitely a danger zone.

Thing is, normalizing stupidity and shitiness doesn’t help anything either. It actively makes things worse. I don’t know what the actual answer is to improving things with that kind of person though. I just think pretending that being a shitbag is acceptable behavior ain’t it.

If every young person voted, the Republican party would collapse until it took a hard left turn. This is not a paradox.

Don’t forget to include article clippings praising Trump too.

Lest anybody think this is a joke. It’s not. Trump’s staffers literally had to shorten his briefs and fill them with pictures and positive article clippings telling him how awesome he is.

Customers tend to view quality more holistically than that, though. Not a lot of people are going to flip their conception of product quality on a single change, but will after a long series of changes. Once a company gets that reputation for poor quality, it’s not as simple as reversing the last corner they cut. It’s a hole that takes a lot of changes to dig out of. More than most companies are willing to reverse.

Weird.

Damn, such a tough decision…

You know what’s even more sad? This isn’t even close to a complete list of all the things wrong with Trump.

Yeah just like that.

There’s a double standard for Democrats, even if you’re an old white man. There’s also a double standard for women. And there’s a double standard for minorities. And it’s not just Republicans who hold them but voters all around. Harris is about to be on the receiving end of all of it.

We’re going to see a coordinated effort to flood every media outlet with as much shit as possible to see what will stick until eventually some unmitigated bullshit catches enough people’s attention to become the central talking point. At that point, whatever it is, will become essentially equivalent to the worst things Trump has done (which is a lot).

Could be she parked illegally and didn’t pay the ticket. Doesn’t matter. It’ll still be just as bad in voters’ minds as inciting an insurrection to overthrow the election.

It’ll be interesting to see what minor controversy from her past that voters glom onto and equivocate with Trump’s blatant assault on democracy.

The time since the release of that song is longer than 1985 was from it (2004).

Anybody got some context?

You don’t replace him with the Joker. You know, additional words have meaning. Now if your argument is that the Democrats need to find their own Joker, I guess then you’re being targeted by this meme.

I promise you that the Republican Party would undergo serious reform even if they were kept out of the presidency for 3 terms. I’d bet on a complete collapse if they find themselves a significant minority in Congress for only a couple terms. We’re not talking about a crazy unrealistic amount of time here.

Yeah should be -> not enough people actually vote -> fascists retain enough power to evade consequences -> fascists seize more power

The meme is about Biden vs Trump. It’s not about people who just think Biden is too old and want to replace him. You’re arguing for a position that isn’t being attacked by the post.

Biden has been president for almost 4 years and we haven’t seen any of those things. That’s how I know all this FUD is overblown. The things you are describing were rampant under Trump, not Biden.

It’s not about whether or not someone can be too old for a job. It’s about thinking that someone is too old for a job therefore justifies putting absolutely anyone, let alone a literal criminal in his place.
