Obsession

The left's got 99 problems, but throwing out every principle they purport to hold dear to swear rabid fealty to an individual who is the living antithesis of those principles just to piss off the right ain't one.

Nope...they just swear loyalty to an amorphous ideology that's carried out as much as a cult as a cult of personality is. That's why if anyone speaks outside one line of the leftist religion then they are excommunicated. A good example of this is J.K Rowling, who is pretty far left but had the audacity to speak the truth that women are women and men cannot become women. She stepped out of line, saying actual factual statements, and was banished.

I believe that the affliction is most properly called 'Long TDS'.

The left has an addiction to Trump.

"Real Time" host Bill Maher expressed concern that the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago will benefit former President Donald Trump, arguing Ron DeSantis "hates this more than anybody."​
​

1 day ago"If I was a campaign finance lawyer for Donald Trump, I might well report to the Federal Elections Commission this raid as an in-kind contribution to the Trump political campaign, because it is so ...​

If the left so hates and vilifies Trump, why are they willingly giving him a political lifeline? Unless the reality of their present political position is so weak they feel they need to make this Faustian bargain, not their first BTW.

Maher is correct on this and so is your comment. The left simply cannot quit Trump and the political operatives (media/politicians on the left) know their position is very weak and they have literally nothing to show but failure. This makes it absolutely necessary for them to keep Trump front and center to distract everyone from that.

I hear "whataboutism" endlessly when we demonstrate the hypocrisy but the true whataboutism is the constant deflection from the current administration and Congress to Trump, a private citizen that doesn't have much of a national platform.
 
The leftists obsess on Trump to keep from having to think about the disaster they "elected". Have you noticed the huge "Joe is GREAT!" propaganda push lately?

It's kind of sad, really.

At the moment Trump is the only thing uniting the left. The DNC plays its voter base like this. If there were no Trump the DNC would have to run politicians on their merits and the issues. The left would immediately fragment into various factions and start fighting amongst themselves. That's what the left does: they fight against something. They never actually do anything else. Look at what happens when they get a majority; they don't work to achieve their goals, they continue to fight against Trump. And the entire voting left doesn't realize for a moment that the leadership is accomplishing nothing and continues to adore them. Pathetic.

Don't underestimate the left's ability to maintain some form of cohesion through intimidation by the radical wing of their party that they are all afraid to speak against.

I can't take your post seriously based on how the right was obsessed with Obama, his wife and Hillary.

Basically, you could replace Trump with those folks and you would just as obsessed.....

I'll put money on their being more Trump threads in 6 years than Hillary threads going back to the Bill's presidency. I'd even not be shocked if it was 2x more or perhaps much more. It would also likely beat out 8 years of Obama. I don't think it's ever looked like this but it is before I joined.
Obsession.webp

The left is obsessed with Trump. He is in the front of their minds all day and every day. It's ridiculous and, ironically, it's been this "boy who cried wolf" mentality that has cause much of the country to tune out the criticism. It has become background noise, but it's still very annoying. These are smart people who have let an obsession reduced their ability to think reasonably and rationally. This has been gong on for years and can't be healthy and it has to be exhausting. I know most of the nation is tired of it.

Yes someone should tell Trump to STFU and stick to questions about the prime rib at the buffet. How about you?

He is the leader of the GOP and is under multiple criminal investigations, many of them related to his attempted violent coup to stay in power. That is a big deal and no one that cares about this country and our democracy should just let that one go.

There was no attempt at a violent coup by Trump. There has been literally no connect made between the two groups and the vast majority of the Jan 6 people were charged with misdemeanors.

I won't argue against the current candidates being weak.

Fishking still can't figure out why people might be paying attention the Lord God of the Republican Party, who was one of the most awful presidents in history (and worst people to occupy that office), whose crimes are still being uncovered, and who intends to run again in 2024?

Dude just about universally picked the GOP's primary winners for 2022 and Fishking's all "deerrrrrrrrrrrr, why does he matter? Poopy libruls!"

:ROFLMAO:

Uhhh...why would I tell Trump to STFU? I literally never hear him talking except for when the left brings him up 24/7.

You understand that you can still give something it's due attention without being obsessed, right? Nah...probably not.
 
Geezus H. Christ. On a board called "Debate Politics", when the presumptive Republican nominee/former US President makes breaking national news, the citizens of his cult whine and complain that he's being discussed. On this board.

I guess the OP wants us to discuss Hunter Biden? JLo's wedding? Knitting?

The January 6th Committee has drawn clear connections and done so with the testimony of nothing but Republicans. You can tell yourself whatever stories and rationalizations you want to tell yourself about Donald Trump, but I assure you that history will not judge him the way you do.

No they haven't, but having fun with your fantasy world, like with all the reset of the BS. There is literally no connection between Trump and the violence that happened on Jan 6. But, please, show me a communication that happened between Trump and those small few that actually had something planned coordinating their violent overthrow. I'll wait.

Yes, Trump is sick and so are his supporters. Like any addict not ready to quit.

When Trump declares he isn't running in 2024, he will drop out of the news and off this board, assuming all of his potential crimes have already been exposed.

If you don't like the man being discussed, you should go to another board when you can talk about Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton all day. That isn't how this board goes. Breaking news and elections are going to be discussed on here.

Yeah, he just sat there and did nothing the entire time, other than gin up hate against his own VP, and then finally released a statement when his attempt failed. Like I say, tell yourself whatever story you want to tell yourself, history will judge him differently than you do.
