Seeing the conservative reaction to this was my first realization that we were truly fucked.
Initially: Thank god we can finally stop pretending Trump is a real candidate
Moments later: Oh, oh no
Ten years later: What what what oh shit oh fuck
Your initial reaction was the only sane path history could have gone down.
I have repeated this story numerous times.
After that tape came out, a conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Trump.
One of the panelists kept using the phrase ‘pussy.’
The conservative woman asked her to please stop using that offensive term.
Shoulda called her a cunt
“i’m… offended by him saying that too…”
As a PoC we kinda just go with the flow. Got a few scattered family members that support him for his regressive values but its very few and far between. For white people, I can only imagine, entire families must have had a schism put through them.
Since 2016.
What does even “conservative” mean for Americans? For Europeans it means you try to conserve things, or apparently being a moron.
in america, “conservatives” will tell you that they want a return to “traditional values” even though that’s just barely the case in reality.
what maga really wants:
be racist/bigoted with complete impunity
mandatory jesus
own slaves again
failing that, resegregation
tradwifei’m definitely leaving things out, but you get the idea–pretty much the fantasy is to return to the 1950s
edit: i want to add, a LOT of maga voters will say “no i don’t want that i don’t want that” while literally voting for and supporting and wearing t-shirts of the party that’s trying to force people to deify charlie kirk, and punish anyone who doesn’t. it’s absolutely fucking insane, and whatever problems exist in europe, please know that here’s at least one person who envies you
Now I just need to know what “libtard” means, as I get called that by tankies from time to time…
“libtard” = someone with the capacity to feel empathy = enemy of fascism AND communism
Trying to remember the sound of the recording because I’ll never get over how “I moved on her like a bitch” does not read the way he intended
Remember when Christians called for Clinton to resign because he was unfit to be president because he got a BJ from an intern? Those same Christians voted for Trump.
Hypocrisy is dead under the republicans.
That’s because they can’t spell it
Or is it the other way around?
Republicans take hypocrisy to a whole new level.
Absolutely true. However, it hardly looks any better for Democrats. Bill Clinton is barely any better than Trump, and yet he is still revered in party circles.
Also, Democratic party elites have yet to back Mamdani in NY which is defacto support for Cuomo who has the same kind of track record.
This isn’t a Republican problem, it’s a wealthy elites problem.
Drugs are bad, but let’s not pretend that weed and meth are the same.
So, getting groped by a Republican is meth and getting groped by a Democrat is weed is this analogy? Please.
All of it is about control, it has nothing to do with logic. If you understand this, fighting these idiots becomes much easier. You’re not dealing with reasonable adults, you’re dealing with a bunch of giant upset babies that don’t want to get sent to their room.

Was this an excerpt from his Nobel Peace Prize award speech?
friendly reminder that they ended Howard Dean’s presidential campaign because he got a bit impassioned in one of his speeches and said “Hyah!” a bit awkwardly. that was too weird for a presidential candidate.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Here’s the original conversation if anyone is interested. Reading all the “that is just what men do” comments makes me wanna barf.
The good thing is that in hindsight we can be pretty sure that it was mostly bots. The sad part is that it worked.
Nope, pretty certain everyone who voted for that fucker do believe that it’s perfectly okay what he did.
Or they were and are still heavily influenced by bots.
Why do dumb people think it’s “all of the sudden”?
Supposably
The U.S.A’s Age of Grace and Class. /s
[sniff] That’s so beautiful, it should be embroidered on a pillow.
If I wanted to protest in the US, I would put that quote on tshirts and have everyone buy it. It would make for quite a tv presence…
Y’all are just taking it out of context. Like that Fox News host that said kill the homeless.
Lunatics will have insane ideas, that’s a given. It gets dangerous when lunatics get other people on board however.
Edit: also the amount of billionaire cocksucking many Americans do is genuinely creepy. No cap.
Yeah, when you guys chose to elect that guy, I knew it was over. I knew stuff was only gonna get worse and worse.
Did he actually say that? Lol
Yes. It’s outrageous.

There is an audio recording of it. He was talking to Billy Bush.
It could be a backronym or codename for Terrible Republicans Utilizing Monarchy Power.
Do you mean a backronym?
I wasn’t aware of backronyms, so I fixed it.
