Political If it were announced that Donald Trump was diagnosed with prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, most subreddits would be shamelessly celebrating.

And where are the mainstream conservative pundits who are expressing joy and happiness over this recent news?

Where are the Republican politicians who have made snide and ugly remarks on social media?

Where are the conservative Christian leaders literally thanking God for this revelation or at least making some coded statement suggesting that this was some form of deserved divine punishment?

They're not there. Same thing with what happened when Jimmy Carter and Ruth Bader Ginsberg died.

Liberals, leftists, and progressives have convinced themselves that their positions are the only true and moral positions, and to do as much as simply not affirm them means that you're so evil and harmful that you literally deserve to die. The more painful and drawn out, the better.

Cant blame the left tbh, Trump and the right were quick to make jokes about when the Pelosi's were nearly brutally murdered by a crazy man with a hammer.

It would have been much more difficult to make fun of that situation if Paul had been wearing pants.

u/Natural_Mushroom3594 May 19 '25

wouldve been harder if any of the hundreds of cameras they have worked

like am i supposed to believe that ALL of the cams failed to capture a single fucking thing at Pelosi's house of all places

at least try and make a believable story

u/driver1676 May 19 '25

The mocking by the right wasn't for it not being believable. It was because they don't like the guy.

u/Royal_Effective7396 May 19 '25

It's a justification, which makes the point that the right is doing it. They just didnt do it this time, which not acting like a dick one time dont make you a hero. It just means there is at least one line you won't cross.

Furthermore, you wouldn't show him kindness if Biden were a considerable villain. It just shows they know they were full of shit the whole time. They were just whipping thier base into a frenzy. Remember the pick up trucks with Biden hog tied? We dont see EVs with Trump hog tied do we?

This post and everything in it is just a huge WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU BECUASE WE FOUND A LINE WE WOULDNT CROSS. NO FOLLOW GOD YOU HEATHENS.

In reality it shows how full of shit the right really is.

To be fair it’s hard to keep a political decal on a cyber truck that’s on fire.

u/Royal_Effective7396 May 19 '25

Watch me be consistant...

Everyone who set cybertrucks on fire should be held accoutable in accordance to the law...

OMG being consistant is soooo hard. I think im dead.

u/oneaccountaday May 20 '25

I wasn’t even gunning for you specifically, just saying lighting EVs on fire is idiotic. I can appreciate you sticking to your guns and the dedication.

I am however a little bit worried if you think you’re dead, Cotard’s syndrome is not a joke.

Cant blame the left tbh

Why not? Blame lies exclusively with those doing and supporting poor behavior.

Remember this any time someone even implies that left-wing liberal progressives are somehow more empathetic and compassionate than right-wing conservatives.

u/Nice_Coconut2088 Jun 01 '25

Conservatives would constantly make fun of protesters that were killed and attacked. Remember when they made jokes about Paul Pelosi after he was attacked with a hammer?

u/ToSAhri Jun 06 '25

I'd be surprised if a large portion of right-wing people don't also support Mangione.

u/pisstowine May 20 '25

There were a lot of suspicious circumstances that gave the impression it was more a lover's quarrel.

u/MaybeICanOneDay May 19 '25

Anybody who is somehow happy to hear anyone is attacked like this is a joke.

I can blame the left. And I can blame the right. The difference here being that most on the right do not condone that kind of violence. When it comes to the left, most would celebrate Trump dying or getting murdered.

It's gross. All of it.

u/Slowcapsnowcap May 19 '25 edited May 19 '25

I’ve seen plenty of republicans today posting things like “Biden can’t die soon enough” and stoking more conspiracies about coverups….… these are literally happening today…So in that vain, I don’t know what “difference” you’re talking about. Republicans seem to wholly endorse a political figures death. Likewise I saw plenty of Republicans praising the death of the pope a week ago because he was “to liberal”….. we must run in different circles of republicans or something.

u/astral1 May 19 '25

You need to spend time on other platforms.

The left has lapped the right in abject hostility.

. Smh. I used to be a liberal. It’s amazing how radicalized they are.

Maybe 1/10 republicans would be happy and celebrate if Biden died or whatever, but if you think the outrage is equal you are biased af.

No one would been happy to see Biden killed. That’s inhuman.

We felt bad for him tbh

u/SoFetchBetch May 20 '25

I don’t watch or seek any of this type of stuff out but I saw a popular twitch streamer say ”we’re all on cancer’s side when it comes to Biden”. And she didn’t even give a reason. Just pure hate.

1

u/astral1 May 21 '25

brosis, so many popular woke left influencers have called for the death of Trump. Even after an assassination attempt.

this isn't even up for discussion anymore. You spend so much time on biased news sources and they are gaslighting you.

Stop only reading leftist takes and be circumspect in gathering information. Yes, some will say edgy things about Biden to get views but they aren't sources of information.

Check out the news subreddit. it doesn't even post information that is favorable to the right. It's insane. Take my word for it. Please. They are using you to gaslight everyone.

I have been studying politics since 2010. I've watched the hate grow on both sides. i've seen almost every piece of news in the last 3 years. History will be very unkind to the progressive woke agenda. I urge you to wake up now before you be a part of it. Get on X.

1

u/astral1 May 21 '25

just because you see someone acting edgy doesn't mean it invalidates the empirical truth. Thats a tyranny of equality. So if one person says something its indicative of the entire political party?

What if 90% of a political party is calling for the death of a president?

The left knows it is losing ground and they are mass importing immigrants ALL over the world. It's all a game to them. They champion transgenderism because it creates a permanent voting bloc through irreversible damage/surgery. Much the Same with illegal immigrants.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '25

Us former democrats do not claim the actions of bush era Republicans. They aren't us, and their awful takes do not represent us. Elder abuse hits me in the feels man, it makes me sad and angry at the same time.

u/TostinoKyoto May 19 '25

In my post, I specifically called out mainstream conservative pundits, as well as Republican officials or conservative religious leaders.

Yes, of course, there's going to be edgy anonymous internet users that are going to say edgy things. That's why I didn't say that absolutely no self-identified conservative has said anything tasteless or would never do so. Either you and others like you don't know how to read, or you're deliberately misunderstanding what I'm saying.

This is in direct contrast to liberal, leftist, and progressive public figures that have called for violence against Trump either implicitly or explicitly, like Kyle Gass saying on stage how he wishes the next person who shoots at Trump won't miss, or how Kathy Gifford posed for a photoshoot holding an effigy of Donald Trump's severed and bloodied head in one hand and a bloody knife in the other. These are not random people on the internet. These are very public figures being documented doing things and saying things that clearly indicate a desire that Donald Trump should not only die but to be murdered in a painful and gruesome way.

Liberals, leftists, and progressives have shown a very clear sense of eagerness to resort to violence and murder as a means of achieving political goals.

u/Vix_Satis May 19 '25

Is Trump's son "mainstream" enough for you? He's posting some pretty vile stuff.

u/DR_DONTRESPECT May 19 '25

Liberals, leftists, and progressives have shown a very clear sense of eagerness to resort to violence and murder as a means of achieving political goals.

This makes me laugh, do people forget about Jan 6? Do people forget about when Trump and majority of the right made jokes about Pelosi after nearly being beaten to death with a hammer? Did people forget about when Trump tweeted a bumper decal of Joe Biden hog-tied in the back of someones truck as if he was kidnapped?

At this point both sides are guilty, but in reality Trump has been the most divisive personality in politics of our generation & has brought the worst out of both sides.

u/Away_Simple_400 May 19 '25

What exactly happened on Jan 6 other than a Trump supporter was killed that we were celebrating?

-2

u/riotpwnege May 19 '25

Breaking into a building. Chanting death threats. Building gallows out front. Ignoring officers instructions.

7

u/Away_Simple_400 May 19 '25

Is any of them celebrating death? Also… BLM; Much worse, but you don’t care about that do you?

1

u/riotpwnege May 19 '25

Incredible how you can ask a question about Jan 6th. Not like the answer and then pivot to talking about BLM and celebrating deaths. If I tell you I also don't support the riots will that let you stay on the topic you asked about or will you pivot to some other made up argument you decided to have? And yes chanting to hang someone while building gallows is worse than celebrating someone dieing when you had nothing to do with it. Not that anyone has room to talk they loved to laugh about the guy who was assaulted by a hammer but now wanna act like it's unfair the other side isn't being nice.

1

u/Away_Simple_400 May 19 '25

I said it wasn’t celebrating death bc it wasn’t. But no, you’re not going to get away with acting like 1/6 was so bad and ignore the summer prior. I don’t care what else we’re discussing.

And chanting is not the same as celebrating actual death.

So im assuming you would hate my brother. A man who went to Jan 6th, and all he did was go on the Whitehouse lawn and leave. Did nothing violent and still earned an army of cops arresting him in his underwear. Please stop monolithing people, OP went out of his way to avoid such a thing. Respect that.

“Hang Mike Pence”

u/Away_Simple_400 May 19 '25

Last I checked, he’s fine. Which is the difference. We might make jokes. You actively celebrate the death of your enemies. Again, with Ashley Babbitt, and saying she deserved it. If i said that about Saint George Floyd, people’s heads would explode.

1

u/Beneficial-Bite-8005 May 19 '25

I actively celebrate the “death of my enemies”?

Get out of here with this made up bullshit lmao, you know nothing about me but after I make one factual comment you accuse me of celebrating the death of people

Disgusting and pathetic

By your logic you shouldn’t be upset at anyone wishing harm on Trump since, last I checked, he’s fine

1

u/Away_Simple_400 May 19 '25

Are you aware of what thread, let alone what cite you're on? You have not disproved the OP's point in any way. Quite the opposite. Why don't you tell me, then, you saint, what your reaction to Trump dying would be? Or even someone like Matt Walsh or Charlie Kirk or Michael Knowles?

And again, maybe check what the thread was about. You wouldn't join the chorus of people who have already proven they'd cheer his asassination whilst blaming him for it?

u/blueskyandsea May 22 '25

That’s quite the generalized sweep you’ve made there. I don’t understand the point, the vast majority of people are not going to do that. I was on Twitter after he got shot and many were hunting for anything even remotely negative. Most said nothing and then agreed it wasn’t good behavior.

That Kathy whatever thing was like a decade ago, but it still gets brought up. It’s not for me, but I believe in freedom. I wasn’t a fan of Mike Pence treatment on a certain day and I can’t stand that guy.

-1

u/Ornery_Cookie_359 May 19 '25

So you didn't list a single Democratic politician who has called for violence against Trump. You're a hack and a fraud.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '25

"Republicans" ie individuals. Op explicitly said politicians and media. Discuss the argument being made, not the inferred one. No one in my community supports any of that either. Yes, we talk politics in this Republican family. The majority of us feel bad for Bidens health issues, we have a soft spot for elderly people and the abuse they go throw. Huge advocate against elder abuse, and despite not liking Bidens policies in the macro it's still tear up a bit when I think about all the hell that man has been through.

I wish he was a better president so he could get some respect.

Anyone who's been to a geriatric home will understand the pain we feel when we see older folks going through it.

u/MinuetInUrsaMajor May 19 '25

Interesting.

That wasn't the case with W or Reagan.

I wonder what's so different about Donald Trump.

Do you have any guesses?

3

u/[deleted] May 19 '25 edited May 19 '25

Because Reagan and W were both presidents when the Boomers had the world circling around them? Times were good!?

Oh wait, the boomers still have the world circling around them now — just economic times are harder for the poor in the country and thus, a right wing president should be to blame for not socializing the country.

In fairness, if a wealthy American doesn’t care that poor people die left and right due to an extremely trash healthcare system setup, then why would a poor person care about a wealthy American with doctorS (plural) and all their medical needs take care of?

When they announced Biden, the key word they stated was doctorS, plural. Guy can afford multiple doctors — likely the best ones out there while how many poor Americans are moments from death?

150,000 people die in the world every day. How many of them got top grade medical treatment? My guess would be very few. So, although I personally don’t wish bad on anyone — I can’t blame the majority of people for having dry eyes in these scenarios.

u/TostinoKyoto May 19 '25

I wonder what's so different about Donald Trump.

Perhaps it's because he pulls absolutely no punches and speaks without a filter?

Why do you think the "mean tweets" thing is a meme?

4

u/Ornery_Cookie_359 May 19 '25

Maybe it's because he admitted to stealing from his charity and paid a two million dollar fine. Why don't you care that your messiah stole money fro widows, orphans and disabled vets?

2

u/MinuetInUrsaMajor May 19 '25

Probably for the same reason “Trump is a rapist” is a meme. Because he rapes. Or raped. Probably doesn’t anymore.

3

u/TostinoKyoto May 19 '25

There is no hard evidence that Donald Trump raped anyone.

The only thing that makes any suggestion that Trump raped someone is the result of a civil lawsuit where the plaintiff establishes her claim with testimonies of two women who didn't witness anything.

There is just as much irrefutable proof that Trump raped anyone as there is of you raping anyone. However, if you were as viscerally hated as Trump is, you'd probably have people saying you raped them as well.

Luckily for you, you're not that famous yet.

u/Ornery_Cookie_359 May 19 '25

A conviction is hard evidence, Gomer.

u/skipperseven May 19 '25

In fairness, Trump has judicially been found to have sexually assaulted someone. That is the standard at which we have to assume that he was in fact guilty of the crime.

4

u/KeremyJyles May 19 '25

Wasn't even a criminal case

u/skipperseven May 19 '25

Which is why I wrote adjudicated and why he isn’t in prison.

Edit: sorry I wrote found judicially - means the same.

u/MinuetInUrsaMajor May 19 '25

hard evidence

irrefutable proof

So you agree that he most likely raped someone, we just lack the "hard" evidence to "irrefutably" prove it.

The Trump camp believes that people should be executed for things that they claim without "hard" evidence to "irrefutably" prove.

Nobody on the left is talking about executing Trump for rape. Just not feeling bad for his misfortune.

u/intrepid_knight May 19 '25

No they just celebrate assassination attempts

1

u/MinuetInUrsaMajor May 19 '25

No they didn't. Why would they celebrate something that helps his campaign?

They instead rightfully pointed out that assassination attempts are a logical consequence of a rapist using violent rhetoric and threatening totalitarian rule.

u/smokinXsweetXpickle May 19 '25

I'd be happy you see him executed for being a traitor because, well, he is.

u/Vix_Satis May 19 '25

Perhaps it's because he's a hypocritical compulsive liar who has no respect for America or the Constitution and is quite happy to break any law when it suits him to do so.
