This C-SPAN caller thinks Russia meddled, and she’s glad about it

It just needs to be better than what the progressive left wants for us.

Your fear of American 'progressives' is so cute.

Well then it should be easy for you to get behind this and stand with America and our democracy. Or is fascism and being ruled by a dictator preferable, to you, over whatever boogeyman you ascribe to progressives?


I bet you don't even hear the ridiculousness of your posts. Traitor.

To be fair, he fears a lot of things. Behind every conservative lies a pussy and we aren't talking about a significant other.

We can do a helluva lot better than to follow any advice Putin might offer or follow anybody he tells us to follow.

Recognize who we're dealing with. If we were drowning he'd throw us an anchor.

Of course it doesn’t terrify you because in your heart of hearts what you really want is authoritarianism that feeds into your confirmation biases.

Those stories are well documented in reputable news sources.

My barometer is just fine. It correctly identifies authoritarianism independent of tribal allegiance.

Does it notice projection much?

Well that’s a chicken and egg thing. When you have coastal liberals constantly looking down on the “fly over states”, with Democrat candidates dismissing then as “deplorables”, and also categorizing military service as “white welfare” for states that hold service in high regard, it is no surprise that they gravitated towards the pied piper candidate that promised to stigginit.

They chose to call themselves "deplorables." There were 2 baskets, and those in the deplorable basket (KKK, white supremacists, nazis, etc) actually are deplorable. The MAGAs chose to be, and loudly said they are proud to be, in that same basket with those bonafide deplorables. And then act shocked and offended when people think they are one of those "very fine people"... typical.

You're disgusting.

 

[Vic]

Making the case that America should not be exceptional from the MAGA side of the aisle is chef kiss beautiful.

It's fucking shameful is what it is. Tantamount to treason.

The irony is that we just had 8 years of 'progressive left' rule and the only thing we got out of it was a booming capitalist economy.
What he's saying is that he'd rather have America ruled by a hostile foreign power, which is itself ruled by a corrupt kleptocratic dictator, than to see an America ruled by the Democrats.
That's how much Glenn hates his own country.

It wasn't even that. The GOP achieved a blocking position when Ted Kennedy died & reinforced it throughout Obama's terms.

My point is that his fears about the 'progressive left' are obviously unfounded.

And Americans who don't think exactly as he thinks.

Was it eight years of progressive rule or eight years of unprecedented obstructionism? Or is it both, depending on the narrative du jour?

For sure.

They are deplorable, but the term extended to the consescending dismissal of red state and blue dog America, which Trump weaponized as a rallying cry.

It wasn't 8 years of commie pinko socialist sharia law where the govt took our guns, herded us into FEMA camps, and forced us to speak Spanish. Which is about the only reality that I can think of that would be worse than being ruled from Moscow.

It was more progressive than having McCain as president & less progressive than with a democratic legislature. The GOP allowed Obama as few victories as possible. It's not like Obama was much of a leftist, anyway. Now that they're in control I'm sure everybody can enjoy the top down class warfare & outright looting of the Treasury.

 

[Vic]

The actual quote, in context (should you ever bother), was only 'condescending' because of Trump's weaponization of it.
That the MAGA's allowed this weaponization, and chose to be in the same company as those genuinely deplorable people, is quite telling all by itself.
As is the overtly treasonous statement made by the MAGA in the OP, and the fact that all the MAGA's appear to agree with it, yourself included.

 

[mikeymikec]

The real problem isn't callers like her, it's the Republicans in Congress who'd listen and agree with her.

That suggests she's the source of the problem when IMO the fact is that she's a useful idiot.

 

[nickqt]

This.

To a T.

Forever.

All that needs to be done is to quote this.

The ONLY thing that matters, is that whatever Strongman Trump, or Strongman Putin, or some other foreign actor, wants, is different than what progressives want.

If what a foreign actor wants is different than what a libruuuuul wants, then, well, it's good.

Seriously. All that ever needs to be quoted is this.

Thanks for making clear your collaboration, collaborator.

Seriously.

Thank you.

Collaborator.

No, the origin is actually from a different quote:

"They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Democrats have such short memories.

Obama, the same as Trump, beat Clinton by going after her trustworthiness, and Trump, like Clinton, blew certain dog whistles to rally white voters. The only difference is that Trump got help from Russia to undermine Clinton and used a bullhorn instead of a dog whistle to rally angry white voters.

While Obama did not use the term “deplorable”, the condescending tone and intent was the same, and ironically Clinton ran to their defense and made it her rallying cry in a last ditch effort to hold Pennsylvania, a state Trump carried by using the same playbook.

She has a lot of company.

Oh you’re still here? I figured the redistributionist set like you would have died off after having your Obamacare and welfare shut off.

Lol, Obama's high brow and big words certainly offend the republicans delicate sensitivities.

And lol at the projection regarding memory loss, just lol.
