You have to understand that this isn't ironic to them. To them, this was not a legitimate trial and trumped up charges, if you'll pardon the pun.
That's because his supporters worship him as a new messiah and cannot conceive of him having actually committed a crime. Or they don't care if he did or not.
They don't care if he did. I'd argue most of his supporters in the party (Mike Johnson for example) know that he is a horrible person but will support him because he has energized a dormant portion of the voting population that can help them to gain and hold power. Trump himself isn't even that bad, he's a useful idiot who gives immense power to far right organizations like the heritage foundation.
They view him as an imperfect tool of the lord
That is a chill-inducing phrase.
AKA false prophet
To his supporters there isn't a legitimate trial.
Right, there can't be a legitimate trial because everything is "politicized" and "a witch hunt".
Weird how they can't get DAs to bring charges against Hillary or Hunter though.
Getting out the vote for Brandon is our best hope.
And that crusade is utterly futile if Brandon wins the swing states. The traitor cunts will riot either way, what matters is whether there is any traction beyond the their inbred degenerate base.
Maybe the phrase “trumped up charges” will have new meaning after today
All the other kids with the trumped up charges better run better run faster than my verdicts
The guy behind me that watches fox news all day because "he needs something to help him focus" immediately started spouting fox talking points as soon as the verdict was read. My younger coworkers were like, "no way, that's crazy" to all his bs. I just had to say, "no that's not true. I read the jury instructions and they don't say that." He moved onto insisting there was no evidence and Cohen perjured himself and at that point I was already on my way out the door.
He's Gen x, a landlord, new York exile, classic gabagool. Ugh.
Gen Xer here that does not share your co-worker's moronic view. Lock him up!
Gen X here too, Lock him up!
I think most of GenX were just crushed by the boomers, you just have to listen to GenX music to see how fatalistic and powerless they were. When Millenials came around, they started to have enough distance to the boomers to do their own thing. And i really have the highest of hopes for GenZ and beyond.
Gen X came right after the Baby Boomers, just as Millennials didn’t run society for Zoomers, neither did Boomers run it for X’ers.
So no, you weren’t overshadowed and made helpless by them, many of you outright relate with them just the same as I would a Zoomer.
Gen X was the last generation to get a chance at the dream life of a family, a house, and a career. They’re institutionalised.
Please don't try to tell me about my life. You couldn't be more wrong.
You’re right, 30 year old boomers were ruining your life at the time, not the 70 year old politicians etc.
I’ll tell you about my life, every Gen X I’ve ever met is closer to a Boomer than a Millenial in their mindset. Even the lefter ones who went and volunteered in some developing country and did all pretend make the world better shit.
I'd complain to HR that that guy is making the workplace hostile, if not outright tell him to shut the fuck up, but I get that that's not a safe option at a lot of workplaces
Wrong. Talk to him every day. Hang out on some weekends, and become friends. Plant subtle notions of egalitarianism through your friendship and generosity. Ask him thought questions about his beliefs, but not in an accusatory manner. Teach him to actually think for himself, to keep an open mind, to seek evidence rather than faith to form convictions. Slowly show him by example what it means to be a good person who cares for their fellow human beings.
Then you plant some drugs on him while at work, and call HR with your suspicions.
You really had me there for a minute!
