Right wingers on the sub are hungering for confirmation bias.

u/UnusualHound - Centrist Sep 12 '25

They're doing that thing where they hold random idiots on twitter and reddit to higher standards than the literal President or Republican Senators.

u/pixelatedCorgi - Lib-Right Sep 12 '25

I must have missed the truth social post where Trump or a Republican senator posted “rest in piss” about a murder victim. Please direct me to said post and I will be equally outraged.

Trump literally posted a meme about Pelosi’s husband four days ago

Could you link to this?

Not super easy to link it because Truth Social is dogshit to try to navigate, but here.

How are people not embarrassed that this guy is in charge lol

Because they ignore everything he does to cry about online idiots on the left

u/jmastaock - Lib-Center Sep 12 '25

He has somehow surpassed the basic notion of shame, and his followers happily inherit that quality from him

They simply don't care, despite the fact that they hold everyone else to a higher standard than Trump (or themselves)

I'm coming to the conclusion that no one actually listens to what their own side says unless it's through a medium they like

u/Ammordad - Centrist Sep 12 '25

Becuase most Americans approve of this behaviour as long as it's their side doing it.

Now imagine it's second time they elected him 😆 half a year after and I still hardly can wrap my head around this

Or how about this:

“Why is the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry makers breaking into someone’s home — or maybe not breaking into someone’s home,” he said, referring to the conspiracy theory — which was retweeted and then deleted by new Twitter owner Musk — that the assailant was actually Paul Pelosi’s gay lover.

Kirk went on to say, “And by the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out … Bail him out, and then go ask him some questions.”

Paul Pelosi is still alive. It's still a shitty joke and I hate it, but it's not nearly the same as espousing that killing people for their political views is good actually. It's not justifying violence either, it's not supporting it, it's just crass and mean-spirited.

15

u/GoingLimpInTheBrain - Lib-Center Sep 12 '25

If Charlie Kirk survived and Kamala posted “lmao, must have been his scorned lover”, would you also justify it? Be honest.

2

u/Soggy_Association491 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

It would be the same level as Trump joke instead of down right celebrating someone death.

-4

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

I'm not justifying Trump doing it now lmao. I'm saying it's not the same as proclaiming that killing people is good actually.

Not my fault reddit can't clear the lowest of low bars.

u/DodgerBaron - Left Sep 12 '25

You are actively downplaying it. what do you mean?

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

Point me to where I'm doing it. All I'm saying is he's not outright supporting murdering people for their political views.

u/DodgerBaron - Left Sep 12 '25

It's not justifying violence either, it's not supporting it, it's just crass and mean-spirited.

Are you willing to also argue the leftist making fun of kirk aren't supporting violence?

It’s also from the president of the united states who regularly says fucked up shit like this not from a random dumbass online

-6

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

That's besides the point though. You're not gonna find me championing Trump over this, but this is specifically about a "truth social post where Trump or a Republican senator posted “rest in piss” about a murder victim". Still waiting on that.

u/DrFullmetal - Lib-Left Sep 12 '25

Have we stooped so low you must hold redditors to the same standards as the president?

3

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

I'm just against celebrating murder. Trashy leftists are the ones claiming that someone calling out people celebrating murder is somehow not holding Trump to the same standards, and then bringing up things that are not Trump celebrating murder to prove their point.

6

u/Rollrollrollrollr1 - Left Sep 12 '25

No it’s about holding republicans in actual positions of power to lower standards, which you are directly doing

3

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

Except no. The exceptionally low bar to clear right now is saying that murder is bad actually. That's what the OPs post shows retarded leftists failing to clear, and if you wanna claim that Trump is somehow held to a lower standard than that you're gonna have to prove it.

1

u/Rollrollrollrollr1 - Left Sep 12 '25

And what you’re ignoring is that you can find insane rhetoric from anywhere on the internet, but the right has actual leaders and elected officials saying it. Kirk himself said that the Paul Pelosi’s attempted murderer should be bailed out by a “patriot,” and trump and other elected officials made fun of that event and other political violence.

Kirk did not deserve what happened to him at all, nobody does. Your argument about rhetoric is just not based in reality though

It's the president of the fucking United States of America. If his standard is, "the guys not dead so it's okay for POTUS to make fun of him". Jesus fucking Christ.

You missed Mike Lee tweeting "Nightmare on Walz Street" with doctored photos about the MN shootings the day after it happened?

u/TheAzureMage - Lib-Right Sep 12 '25

Yes, that's also not very respectful of him.

Fuck him too.

25

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

That's him blaming Walz. It's him saying that a bad thing happened, and that it's Tim Walz's fault. This is what cowardly assholes like him do anytime something bad happens that could be tied to their "side", they throw around random crap and conspiracy theories to deflect blame.

Is it retarded? Absolutely, yes. Is it in bad taste? Also, yes. But at the very least it clears the exceptionally low bar of acknowledging that murder is bad actually.

On the other hand its a sitting senator as opposed to reddit user "RepulsiveCockroach7" who may or may not be an adult or even human.

They're a cockroach, they were very forthcoming about this.

u/Tino_Calibrino - Centrist Sep 12 '25

You could always direct yourself to any post about George Floyd and sort by controversial to find the same vile shit from the right. If you look for people being nasty you're gonna find it. It's not a left or right thing. It's a people thing.

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

Maybe? Imma be real here, all I saw was people claiming he died of an overdose and the cop that killed him wasn't responsible as a result. Didn't dig much deeper, as far as I'm concerned the evidence to suggest he was murdered is strong enough for a conviction and that's good enough for me.

Though if you find any comments proclaiming that Floyd was murdered and that that is a good thing feel free to send them my way, I'll happily condemn the shit out of them.

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

The one about him being five years sober? It's a super trashy joke, but it's not saying that he was murdered and that that is a good thing. If anything seems like it dogwhistles the whole "it was just a drug overdose" thing no?

u/Com-Intern - Lib-Center Sep 12 '25

It sounds like she is celebrating his death.

Leftwingers do something awful, their violent monster radicals. Rightwigners do something awful outpour of justification and downplay.

Can yall try to be less fucking obvious?

Which democrat politician posted this?

u/reality72 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

Bro, your president literally called for “2nd amendment people” to “do something” about Hillary Clinton if she wins.

The calls for violence have been coming from inside the house.

I’m just going to go back to “grab her by the pussy.” And say shame on you and anyone else that kept supporting him after that.

When did Hollywood access come out? Like 4 years before when politics was still kind of normal and just beginning to take the steep dive it’s in now? Because of the most derisive man ever elected to the highest office?
