Did you all really not notice this or are you purposefully overlooking it to try to find something to blame on Democrats?

Quick question: why does everyone defend our cheeto president every damn time he comes under fire? I mean, if he's being criticized so damn much, then maybe there's a reason for it. Just saying...

"Quick question: why does everyone defend our cheeto president every damn time he comes under fire?"

a good number of people who like trump, not all, but most, will change their values just to be behind him.

I personally find trump himself overrated. Not the worst, just overrated. He's not standing up to the "deep state"; he's slowly becoming part of it, possibly not even realizing it. The supporters whom I mentioned before don't have anything to fall back on besides him due to the rapid changes to the Republican party base after running, despite how fluid to his ideas Trump really is. He can hardly be consistent; he just has recognition and the fact that he won against Hillary Clinton (even though that's an easy win). An example of his inconsistency is his lack of libertarianism. He plans to use military force (in America, we call it martial law) to curtail the riots happening (despite the fact that the police make the riots worse in most cases). He also increased internet security powers. But his supporters will harp on about how libertarian he is, or how he increased America's freedom.

That's one example. I could name more, but i'm tired now.

This website is probably one of the only ones I've seen that isn't dominated by leftists.
and even though this is political, I still think this meme is quite funny.

Thank you. I get the impression that the ownership and mods swing to the left, but this stream is mostly leaning to the right. Lately, I’ve been seeing a bombardment of leftbots or paid lefties doing their best to disrupt this stream. They have their own stream: politicsToo for them to express their Orange Rage. Welcome to politics on Imgflip!

Good grief y'all are a bunch of whiny snowflakes. Almost every freaking meme in the politics stream is Republican. Are you really hoping no one is going to comment against them? Dream on.

Did you not receive the memo? Your president recognized that the pandemic was real over a month ago.
2 ups, 5y
Indeed we learned much:

—We learned Republican leaders did much the same as Democrats in response to an international pandemic, including lockdowns and boosted economic relief including unemployment benefits

—That the Republican base rebelled against any and all such well-designed measures including the ridiculously trivial one of wearing face-masks

—That eventually Republican leaders cave to the demands of their base

—That in the end, Democrats will be blamed for any and everything

Anything else?

So, your premise is

Democrats are willing to sacrifice the profit margins of the 1% in order to secure the lives of the population where the Republicans are willing to send people to their deaths in order to secure the profit margins of the 1%.

1%? You’re stuck on the 1% when millions and millions of people are out of work? People are struggling to pay rent and put food on the table. Small family businesses and larger businesses alike are failing and filing for bankruptcy and you’re focused on the 1%? Domestic Abuse and Suicide are skyrocketing and your main concern is the 1%?

Both sides are incompetent as f**k. Stop pretending like the republicans care about the people. Last time I checked, both parties voted for a 4.5 trillion dollar bailout for corporations while regular people got crumbs.
1 up, 5y
I still remember Democrats holding out trying to get the Repukes to reverse the corporate bailout when the GOP started in on social media and on Fox News accusing Democrats of not caring about Americans because they wouldn't sign off on it right away.

5 ups, 5y,

Conservatives™ is my name for Cuckservatives. basically people who claim to be for the private enterprise, but are really for the government doing things in secret. if a railroad company here starts in the united states, airplane and oil companies (that require government subsidies) will lobby the government to shut it down instead of letting the free market decide.

also goes to people who support Israel. supporting Israel requires the military to have money. Conservatives vouch for lower taxes, but are completely fine with the government raising them to pointlessly increase military strength.

this is regarding america btw. clarifying this because you're british.

socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.

the rich that own massive companies in the united states get government subsidies to prevent themselves from going poor.

I don’t think you know what either conservative or socialism means. You said American Politicians, you generalized both the left and right and any parties in-between.
I suppose i should have said you generalized all American politicians.

In regards to your other comment. Conservatives do listen to young people, if their smart and logical, which you are not. Your points are ridiculous and you do not know what you are talking about. Stay in school and get a proper education and develop your own well formulated opinions based on logic. Don’t just believe everything Democrats say. Dems especially target young people since they are easily influenced. Many young people believe In socialism without know what it is or what the consequences of adopting such a system are, because old Bernie appealed to them. He then wasted a ton of money before dropping out of the campaign.

"I suppose i should have said you generalized all American politicians."

i believe that middle-ground politicians can be corrupt too, though it's very unlikely because they haven't got enough power to make influence.

it's the republicans' and democrats' jobs to keep americans blind to alternatives and anyone who thinks that third party is a good idea is stupid because they consume too little mainstream media. go america. go blind voting. :)

"Conservatives do listen to young people, if their smart and logical, which you are not."

i'd love to hear about how Conservatives™ listen to young people. it's definitely not PragerU, the organization built to abolish debate, or Ben Shapiro, the warhawk paid by the military industrial complex to propagate zionism.

"Don’t just believe everything Democrats say"

i don't. only cucks do that. nancy pelosi said trump is morbidly obese, even though he smol compared to most obese americans.

"Many young people believe In socialism without know what it is or what the consequences of adopting such a system are, because old Bernie appealed to them."

gotta love forgetting about when bernie condemned the soviet union lol. bernie came from a different background and used joe rogan's podcast to promote his ideas, thus making people interested in him. he wasn't a cookie-cutout like joe biden or kamala harris.

"He then wasted a ton of money before dropping out of the campaign."

the DNC forced bernie out of the campaign by forcing elections during the COVID pandemic. that way, biden supporters with no self-awareness would be more likely to come out and vote. Bernie told his supporters to keep themselves safe. can't say any other politician did that. bernie's not a typical democrat; he's been independent for years prior.
