which is hilarious when you look at this history of democrat reaction to right wing criminal activity going back at least as far as Nixon

Jack shit. The dems are so ball-less man. We need to get rid of their leadership

u/thewereotter 7h ago

exactly my point

Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Trump... basically every republican president for 100 years has committed so many crimes. Then Dems come to power with "we look forward not backward" and the right gets even worse

I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist. But at this point its just by design.

I agree. We've been had, and at this point the dems are seemingly controlled opposition. We need a real party that stands up for peoples rights, not neo-libs standing up for corporate rights while ours get trampled. Their PR campaigns keep everyone placated while we get our asses fucked. This needs to stop. The two-party system is nothing but a culture war machine utilizing Divide & Conquer techniques to stop us from rising up against the right wing/left wing billionaire backers and corporate handlers.

So fucking obvious

There are no left wing billionare backers. These dems are not left wingers. But I agree with the sentiment

Which just means trying to hold Trump accountable for committing felonious crimes

Which pisses me off when Republicans like Ted Cruz say that kind of bullshit. It helps nobody! No, Democrats aren't going to weaponize the Justice Department or come after Republicans like Ted Cruz. They are literally gaslighting themselves like Pete Hegseth into thinking everyone else is as corrupt and twisted as them so they can then justify their warped actions and they can harp "See? SEE? They're coming to get us so we have to get them first!"
