I'm not an expert in psychology, but straight up denying reality has to be a worse strategy than just admitting Biden is senile.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 44 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm just replying to these freaks with "the emperor's new clothes are truly marvelous" and ending the conversation

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

Yes, they should take their time gazing into the codpiece

Truly magnificent hunter

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago

I don't think they have anything else. It doesn't seem like there's a party organization that can force Biden out or push him down the stairs. If he doesn't give up willingly they can't touch him. The reporting makes it sound like his family is running him like a puppet and he has no ties to whatever the democratic part is at this point.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 4 months ago

They're either in denial or saying it's perfectly okay because there are good people around him/Biden just needs to sign shit.

Cause it's perfectly fine to have another dementia president.

He had a cold. His back hurt. He didn't get much sleep. He was thirsty. He head a headache. He stayed up gaming all night.

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 50 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Huh, i don't remember being in any presidential debate.

I definitely don't wanna hear about any of Joe's heated gamer moments. Who knows what he's shouting on the mic?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

I know what he's shouting but it's all in the slur filter bc communists hate freedom :eagletears:

[–] Leper_Messiah@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Man is dropping hard R "superpredators" in the chat smh

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

He stayed up gaming all night.

I would vote for him if this was the reason.

Like even if it was League. Not if it was Overwatch 2 though.

Why do they tell us Trump is an existential threat, then turn right around and say the only thing to do is participate in the ballots as if nothing unusual was happening?

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They don't really believe Trump is an existential threat, they're just infinitely annoyed by his cultural presentation and lack of class

They're infuriated by the second hand embrassment they feel when they see him on the global stage and by how annoying he's made members of their own family

Alot of this is just inter-family suburban squabbles being directed outward

"Before Trump my aunt Martha was a decent respectable republican who believed 95% of everything I believed, then Trump came along and now she's an annoying dingbat who ruins all our brunches with her crass politics"

[–] SaniFlush@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

And they only pretend to suddenly care about all the gay and trans people Trump is going to slaughter?

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 51 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Joe Biden was president with his party in control of Congress and could have protected abortion in law and chose not to. The reasoning of anyone bought this far into liberal democracy doesn't treat the Joe bidens as real humans, they treat them like gods.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 31 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

He was allowed to stuff the courts, dems were allowed to ignore the parliamentarian, all that stuff.

They don't want to, the way things are right now is how they want it to be. It's not like I have to say this on hexbear, but dems are the enemies of the American working class just as much as GOP is. They must be destroyed - not funny haha minecraft destroyed 😒 like as a viable "mass" organization.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

For real, what the fuck is the twitter user talking about blaming that shit on Trump?

[–] robinnn@hexbear.net 44 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Genocide is not a crime in the Amerikkkan regime. The only felony that matters is lying to the capital gods.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 36 points 4 months ago

Paying a sexworker - unforgivable crime

Murdering hundreds of thousands of people - "Why do you want trump to win??!??9? ?b?!?!?"

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It was a ~~STUTTER~~!

It was a ~~GAFF~~!

It was a COLD!

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago

How ablist of you to suggest that something might be wrong with our ~~meat puppet~~ candidate

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 37 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I, wait... which guy are they talking about?

"It's a stutter!" Has become "it's a cold!"

Fuck. Idk what to even say, are they really this gullible?

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago

He wasn't being a racist when he was palling around with Strom Thurmond and drafting the Crime Bill! He just had a cold! maybe-later-honey

[–] itappearsthat@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

"it was a bad debate"

as though he gave uninspired answers to some questions instead of conclusively demonstrated that his brain is pudding

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 36 points 4 months ago

Someone should take him to get that cold looked at it's been like 6 months

[–] nasezero@hexbear.net 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

These are the same people that openly and proudly live their lives pretending Biden is not directly responsible for the most live-streamed genocide in history. Biden could shoot a Palestinian child on live television and they'd find a way to scold people for using it as justification not to vote for him. ("Yeah well Trump would have made him bleed out! Biden made it quick and painless!")

Pretending Biden is not suffering from advanced dementia while he shits himself during a debate must be like easy mode for their reality bending.

Remember libs used to say Trump could shoot someone on live TV and MAGA would still vote for him.

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

Trump himself said that and it’s probably true lol. The only difference is that Red MAGA doesn’t care, while Blue maintains intense cognitive dissonance.

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 35 points 4 months ago

Sure, and my grandfather is just having a pretty long nap he's definitely not dead

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They've gone into full defense mode, they're just trying to hold the line and cope. And Biden was down even before the debate. Absolutely no chance the gaslighting will work on anyone who's not already a solid Biden vote, and that's just not enough to win.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

They're also planning on speedrunning the online convention in a couple weeks from the sounds of it - or else, oh no, Biden not appear in Ohio ballots which would DEFINITELY be the only reason he doesn't win fucking Ohio 🙄

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago

I dont think they can memoryhole this one. This planted a feeling, not just a memory

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He didn't try to overthrow the country, he didn't organize Jan 6th, his fans did, Roe V Wade was still a thing under Trump and any politician who wouldn't want to replace the entire federal workforce with people loyal to them isn't playing the game right.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The whole thing with desperately trying to pretend that the Jan 6 glorified self-guided tour of the Capitol was anything even remotely resembling a “coup attempt” has to be one of the most successful Blue MAGA gaslighting projects yet

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Had the convenient effect of memory holing the Geoege Floyd protests as well. Somehow the contrast in police response has also been totally erased from the conversation. The fact they even got near the Capitol building let alone were allowed to roam freely inside shows exactly where the people legally allowed to kill stand, and somehow this is erased as an attempted and very serious coup against the democratic party. If they were allowed to storm the building without being shot, then if it's a coup against the democratic party, it only failed because their goals had already been accomplished prior to their actions

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

I haven't forgotten Joe whining "fund the police! Fund the police!" But apparently every democrat has.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

And they didn't do anything about it. No one was dragged from their homes and shot, there were no show trials followed quickly by hangings. They imprisoned a few proles and cracked down on political rights and that's it.

The Biden campaign now tells me how tough things were [during the debate]. Give me a break. No, no, I have no empathy for it. Give me a break!

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago
