    It’s really funny that Republicans dogwhistle all the time but libs have managed to go after a random Trump ramble instead

      Or their version if it was a lib that said it.

      “We rate this intentionally false. While it is true he did say those exact words what he ACTUALLY meant was…”

    And even if he was being literal, what are the libs going to do?

    Nothing

    They’ll sit there and be like That assault rifle you're holding is illegal! smuglord as they get dragged out of their homes while the cops with 3 percenter flags sit there grinning

      let’s be real, the libs aren’t gonna be in camps, which is why they won’t and aren’t doing shit. hell some of them are already coping the blue team loss in november by imagining the undesirables being put in camps.

    God damn this whole bloodbath saga has been incredibly embarrassing for the people and outlets tryingto spin it something other than the tangential misfiring of a deep fried, prion-addled brain.

      This is turning into bloodbath-gate or something. MSNBC and the like might squeeze more life out of it so it lasts a few more days.

      the tangential misfiring of a deep fried, prion-addled brain

      I hope Trump gets confused on stage and when he’s in middle of an odd rant about toilets and their “not big enough small flush” he says something like “Ya gotta flush the democrats to make it flush. Ya gotta flush 'em. If you don’t flush 'em you got problems. Clog. Clogs. Democracy too. Dying. Bad. Gotta flush 'em.” And MSNBC spends three days ranting about how it could be a coded message for right-wing on liberal violence. And even if it’s not - it’s clearly a attack on norms for an ex-president to compare democrats to feces.

      Plus… could - Russia! Russia! Russia! - be involved somehow?

    This is genuinely stupid behaviour. Everyone that actually watches it can see it was not.

    Libs are actually just straight up lying now and it makes whoever they ally themselves with and pretend to support look like liars too. I genuinely don’t want their support for lgbt movements because it makes other people suspect about them when they behave like this on other issues.

    These are the same judas goats pushing for gun control and enabling fascism at the same time. Absolute children who should be protected from themselves.

    A good lesson here is that talking points/agitprop/criticisms fall on a scale of

    Totally unimpeachable <---------------> You’re really stretching here

    And we want to stay close to the left side of that. Stretch a lot and you’re easy to dismiss altogether; stretch a little and you waste all your time arguing that instead of talking about the stuff on the left that can’t really be credibly disputed.

    Think of the left side as party-parenti supporting something with citations from the NYT, and the right as Grover Furr breaking out “Stalin didn’t commit even one single crime.”

    We might take the threat of another term for that fascist more seriously if the sales pitch from the libs wasn’t “which is why you have to vote for our fascist, fuck you no we won’t do literally anything you want in order to win you just have to vote for us anyway.”

    I feel like New Yorkers would describe a long queue for the subway as a bloodbath, really anything that inconveniences them
