Will the GOP victimology never end? The latest insanity

[lawgator1]

Victimology is defined as:

• the possession of an outlook, arising from real or imagined victimization, that seems to glorify and indulge the state of being a victim.

That is, in a nutshell, the entire Republican platform. Whoa is us because we're being victimized and targeted by the big bad FBI, or now, the banks.

19 Republican states accuse JPMorgan of closing bank accounts and discriminating against customers due to their religious or political beliefs

Really? Chase is out there in some systemic way closing accounts based on politics or religion? And hey, let's suppose they were. What happened to the GOP stomping their feet that the cake maker should be allowed to refuse service to gay couples? Remember that? Private business, you said. They can do what they want, you said.

Was there collusion?

None has been proven. I am currently of a mind that if there was it was not very coordinated or even appreciated by the Trump team at the time as to what was going on.

I am much more concerned about Trump in the future and his apparent willingness to kneel before Putin.

Yes, I know. “Ask him each and every time, every day, every interview.” You’ve made that exceedingly clear.

What happened to “Collusion in plain sight”, was that just wrong?

I guess you'd rather have Biden kissing zelenskyy's a$$ and shelling out billions in the process.

So your saying that the 4 miniscule years sandwiched in between President Obama and President Biden where Putin did absolutely nothing is just because President Trump was his puppet? Lmao

As I say, I think perhaps the Russians were just a lot craftier than the Trump people they dealt with. Many people here who are Trump supporters have remarked that they believe Trump is simply being manipulated by Putin and that Putin has found that he can appeal to Trump's ego to the point that Trump keeps seeking his approval and reinforcement of Trump's own sense of self worth.

So it's not that Trump or his team planned it nefariously, it's that they just kinda got suckered. Given their general lack of experience in such things this theory I have read here is starting to make a lot of sense.

So the claims of “collusion in plain sight”. Misplaced?

The banks are an arm of the govt. That is what you fail to understand. We live in a fascist/corporatist/cartelist system.

Your bakery analogy doesn't hold water here.

 

[volfanhill]

Lol this is rich. Massive amounts of the Dem base are "victims." The Dems placate to this mindset. Great job LG as usual

I'm sincerely asking since some of you are convinced trump only beat Hillary because of Russia. What did they do exactly to convince more people to vote for him over her? I think some of you just can't accept he beat her, not that he was better, just that more people didn't want her.

I believe I've always been clear: there is no way to quantify what difference Russian efforts made, if any. You cannot possibly trace the effect, ie Trump won this state or that due to Russian efforts.

All you can really take from it is either that they really, really, hated HRC, or really like Trump being POTUS.

I just don't, not have I ever, understood how billy Bob voting for trump was because of Russia. It's not like they crossed the border illegally, was signed up by a particular party, and voted.

* Anybody know what happened to Mick? He used to brag about picking them up in Georgia, and taking them to vote. Hopefully he's okay, may have been a Luther Alt

Had to do with flooding social media with right-leaning messaging, as I understand it. Basically just parroting anti Clinton and pro Trump stuff.

Same tactic the MSM had saying Russian Collusion, Steele Dossier (fancy name for validity), impeachment etc. flood viewers with those key items for distractions to divide country with no validity of truth.

Did any of these flood of right leaning messaging use footage of Hillary calling half the country deplorable?

That's kinda what I was going to ask, and @lawgator1 I'm being sincere. I mean Twitter and Facebook literally banned almost anything conservative. I get what you're saying, that it's possible, probably likely that Russia hacked and posted pro trump stuff on social media. At the same time, most social media platforms on their own was banning anything that was against Democrats, Biden, fauci even. I just don't see being outraged by one, and not the other. We got two posters who have done nothing but have a mental breakdown since musk bought Twitter, and allowed conservatives to post again. They're not crying about "misinformation", they're just mad both sides can post. Trump is a goober, I'll never argue otherwise, but it seems the left wants a political controlled social media, that only allows what they approve. I think both parties have news hacks that only focus on what's going to make their party look like the good guys, and I think it's silly. To have only one sides "truth" is dangerous, and the real threat to our country. Twitter banned trump supporters for being a threat to America, yet allowed posts of "death to America" every day. If the biden administration has legit proof that Russia did something, why not shut up about trump, and sanction Russia? If liberal media would quit with the trump stuff, it would help. I remember watching for two days, two days literally, CNN having a meltdown, because trump got two scoops of ice cream at some shop, and everyone else got one. I just don't get it, they talk about trump, and being fair so do you guys, more than trump supporters.

Biggest threat to democracy is media manipulation or selective information.

Trump had a better campaign and strategy. This really isn’t that hard.

Can you regurgitate a dumber statement

 

[loggervol]

So, the party that continues to claim the USA is systematically racist, isn’t using victimhood.

I like pie for 1000 Alex.
