    Let me start with this and say that I hate Trump.

    But I do think it’s pretty duplicitous that if there was a voluptuous female African American singer that was getting dunked on because she was heavy, everyone would leap to her defense. However, when it’s time to try and dunk on the orange menace everyone jumps to oh. He’s really fat and his dick is small and he’s so ugly and he’s losing his hair. Like come on this guy is giving you an incredible wealth of things to hate that have nothing to do with his body but people go for the easy stuff I guess.

    I encourage you to try a little harder and go after his intelligence or his pedophilia or his inability to speak properly or a million other things.

      When this guy decided that, against his enemies (because, remember, we are not his opponents, we are his enemies), everything goes, he lost any legitimity to claim he’s being attacked with bigotry.

      The turd doesn’t get to recieve morally valid attacks anymore because he broke the social contract. He decided that his enemies don’t deserve mercy, or, in general, human treatment. And when you go that far as to decide that other people don’t deserve human treatment, it means you are not playing by the rules anymore.

      That moment is when you said by yourself that everything can be used to attack you. When you decide to stop treating the others as humans, you become non-human. Morality only applies to beings capable of understanding it.

      I haven’t ever insulted a political opponent (or any opponent in general) for the aspects of them that are not under their control (like aspect and sexuality) because I think we can’t reduce ourselves to being without morals.

      Then, this guy came. He broke all the rules and decided that anyone outside his circle is not a person anymore. You’ll have to excuse me if I attack his with everything I got because I’m fighting for my life against him.

      I’m not sure you realize that if this asshole succeeds, nobody will be safe, not even those living outside that shithole. So yeah, when it comes to this administration, what matters is removxng them, anyway we can, because for many, it’s a matter of life and death.

      “I hate this guy, but your energy is all wrong. I just can’t”

      there’s no moral high ground here, it’s alright bud. they mock any and everything from their view, so nothing is off limits

      I encourage you to not white knight fascists, that’s some goofy shit

        This isn’t really about Trump in particular, I just don’t think attacking horrible people specifically on their physical attributes is like the best idea. Kind of reduces everyone down to being playground bullies again.

          I get what you’re getting at, but this is a whole new game. Trump and Noem are really sensitive about appearances. Attacking their appearance really gets under their skin, so it makes sense to push their buttons this way.

              You don’t make bullies stop with the power of friendship™.

              Especially when the bully is not a teenager (who we can argue can be somewhat re-educated) but an 80 years old narcissist with imperialist deliriums, desires of becoming a dictator and the biggest military (which, among the things, he said he’s ready to send against “enemies” in his own country).

              Against this kind of bully, you need to fight for your life. And you don’t fight for your life with the power of friendship™. You do it by hitting your enemy where it can hurt most, because it’s him or us.

      Morally i totally agree with you, but i tend to ignore my morals when the joke is funny. Still, have an upvote.

      While I do agree with your points, none of those things matter to him or his followers.

      His physical appearance is how you hit them where it hurts, sadly. Because he looks like the people they would mock and yet they won’t comment on that.

            I am the left man I’m saying we’re supposed to be better than this. We’re the educated, tolerant, multi cultural side and we’re not afraid to call out when our own team loses sight of that. I know you’re not brave enough to have any kind of unpopular stance so maybe reddit is where you belong.

              I don’t disagree with that sentiment in a vacuum, but unfortunately reality is not

              You don’t know fuckall about me son 😌 lol c’mon. Enjoy trying to use oven mitts and refereeing exchanges with fascists. Not sure if a moderate dreamer or a joke Russian troll but this shit reads like straight jokes

              You’re the pompous left elitiest the right has stereotyped everyone on left as. You’re not brave or smart or any of the things you claim otherwise you’d be able to recognize you’re the manifestation of their punch line, a joke you’re not in on.

          Dude he’s a narcissistic man child with practically no capacity towards humanity as a concept. They don’t care about morals for they are without morals, they don’t care about honor for they are honorless, they don’t care about reason for they are without reason, all they have is ego and vanity with no self reflection. The only way to attack folks like Trump in a way that hurts them and their followers is to attack their appearance because their character is largely irrelevant, at best attacking their character is for bolstering our side not weakening theirs.

          It’s shit but this is what happens when your foe holds no ideals, morals, or ideology and whose only goals are sadism and avarice.

    Are you freaking KIDDING ME right now? It’s hilarious how the left pretends to care about “body positivity”, while simultaneously disrespecting and digitally ASSAULTING our exalted POTUS and Leader of the Free World Donald John Trump. Are you people freaking blind? President Trump is very spry for his age, has a luxurious head of hair, and has self-regenerating ears. And he’s a great guy! He brings JOY and SMILES to the ladies!

    Most real Americans love him. I am sickened by the constant stream of Photoshopped AI-generated CGI LIES about the president’s magnificent appearance. You can’t handle perfection so you create grotesque caricatures. This website is filled with liberal FAKE NEWS!
