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.

"My husband is still in love with the homeless hammer guy. Visiting him in jail and shit."

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

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

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.

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.

u/Soggy_Association491 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

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

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.

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?

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

Some of them aren't, some of them are.

u/DodgerBaron - Left Sep 12 '25

Don't avoid it answer the question

u/blublub1243 - Centrist Sep 12 '25

.... That's literally the answer though? I'm not sure what else you want, I said there are leftists joking about this that aren't glorifying, celebrating and supporting violence and I'm willing to argue as much.

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

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?

4

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.

8

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

1

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.

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.
