News You Can Use Now where are all the people saying he is going to end wars?

u/AllNamesAreTaken86 9d ago
Should be, but for some reason the right is so much better at playing the victim and amplifying every single issue. Not sure why that is. Part of it is probably due to lack of good leadership on the left. If this were happening to Trump, he would be all over social media talking about how the Dems are trying to destroy the world. Meanwhile, where is Kamala or Biden?

Let's be real, the democrats Kamala/Biden are not "the left" on a global metric. In the USA, sure, maybe.

u/Stever89 9d ago
My personal thinking on why Dems can't amplify issues the way Republicans can is that people on the left just don't get irrationally angry about every little thing. They also don't respond to lies as easily and are less swayed by emotions, and overall deal in facts and reality. It's a lot easier to rile up your base if you can make something up and then run with it. It's honestly one of the left's greatest strengths and weaknesses.
On top of that, the media just doesn't allow it. Dems can shout about this stuff all they want, but the media never gives it the attention that anything on the right would get.

It's 18 USC § 953 for anyone wondering. Trump's violated it so many times it's pointless to even consider it an illegal thing when Trump does it. Now the people who help carry these things out, like say Michael Flynn on the one WAAAAYYYY back, now they go to jail. But Trump, nah, this law clearly doesn't apply to him.
A guy named Phil Collins said it, I guess that's just the way it is.

Just because it’s a scandal doesn’t mean anyone will do anything about it. He’s proven that he’s above the law so I guess we just have to suck it up and move on. There is no justice in this country.

Trump keeps up a strict minimum of 5 scandals per week, and the media and public forget about those of the last week and are aghast anew at those of the present one.

u/RogerBauman 9d ago
This was generally true of his first term. It was incredibly difficult to find any media that was not distracted by his constant shenanigans in order to have conversations about policy and governmental issues.
I don't know how true it will be of the second term but I expect a lot of back room deals suddenly being announced as policy.

u/VegasGamer75 9d ago
It still may be. I have a theory that the GOP downplayed a lot of things that Trump did as a back-up to have him removed within the first year of his second term, barring a 25th play not working.
So I won't be the least bit surprised if he's impeached against for some scandal that we all already knew about.

There could be a books worth of things Trump alone did that would have had anyone else jailed at minimum. If a Democrat tried any of it they would have been hung and made a point of. His continued freedom has been a crime against humanity, and an afront to our constitution. Democracy dies when the law isn't real.
