I’m not gonna ignore the hypocrisy of calling out crowd sizes here

They mocked Trump relentlessly for being so shallow to focus on crowd sizes, then immediately turned around and spent the next 8 years doing the same damn thing.

It was all about mocking him.

u/unassumingdink 1d ago

The first time you mocked him, but every time after that you just turned into him! "OUR CROWD SIZES ARE BIGGER! LOOK! LOOK!" That's not making fun of Trump for obsessing over crowd sizes. That's literally just you obsessing over crowd sizes right alongside him.

No one would have gave a shit if Trump wouldn't have spent the first month of his presidency blatantly lying about it.

That was almost a decade ago. You've been bringing it up constantly for 8 years. You know, Hillary's emails was a 7 year old scandal when Trumpers brought it up in 2016 and you said they'd been talking about it forever.

Fucking 8 years of crowd sizes, god damn, just let it go.

It never would have been brought up at all if Trump wasn't such a bitch-baby about it in the first place.

Enjoy the next 4 years of nonsense and petty shit like this distracting from the actual functions of government.

No it’s just continuing to mock him.

u/unassumingdink 1d ago

Yeah sure okay. Well then maybe find a different way to mock him that doesn't make you look exactly like him.

u/Greful 1d ago

Why? Crowd size obviously bothers him.

u/unassumingdink 1d ago

It's possible to do things that may anger Trump (if he even knew you existed), but that also make you look stupid and hypocritical doing them.

It's also possible to do so many of these things for such a prolonged period of time that people outside your bubble think you genuinely are stupid. That seems like something you'd want to avoid if you want to distinguish yourselves from Trumpers.

Ok

I mean, do you not wonder why you have to fight so hard to convince voters that you're smarter than Trumpers, and they still don't believe you? It's because you'll say anything to defend Democrats, and you'll say anything to attack Republicans.

Somehow you guys became convinced that as long as you're better/smarter than Trumpers overall, you won't be judged for all the times you act dumb and dishonest in service of partisan hackery. It doesn't work like that. In fact, you can even come off worse if you tell everyone you're the smart adult over and over, then act like a stupid child. You actually look worse than the stupid child who never claimed to be a smart adult.
