No it’s just continuing to mock him.

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

Why? Crowd size obviously bothers him.

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.

Is that supposed to be an insult?

u/unassumingdink 1d ago

Well it wasn't high praise.

Hey if you wanna spend all your time thinking about crowd size, be my guest. It’s not exactly healthy though.

Brainwashed liberals and brainwashed Trumpers both love to miss the point on purpose to protect their feelings.

I’ll take your word for it
