Well this is new to me. Apparently a majority of Republicans are buying into this far-right, racist conspiracy theory. If you're a Republican, do you believe this? If so, please explain why and preface your response with, "I'm not racist but..."
VTshredder69Oh right it's all trumps fault until someone else get's into office. Then the president doesn't do anything
fucking moron.
Last time I checked, nobody blamed Trump for Gas Prices, or Covid, or George Floyd's death, or the Parkland shooting, or people eating tide pods or really anything that was entirely out of his control...
There was a LOT to blame him directly for... Nobody said or acted like it was all his fault...
Please, tell us some actual policies that Biden has enacted that have gone horribly. I'm absolutely 100% down to criticise boring ass milktoast Biden and all of his actual policies that go pear-shaped just as I did for the former dude. If you want to have a legitimate discussion about this, let's go for it man...
...but if you're just going to cry and bitch like 'Biden caused inflation and gas prices to be high and I think the economy is bad now and my dog died and I don't like that he eats ice cream and wears aviator sunglasses fuck you Brandon' then you're just projecting some tired ass nonsense and making a fool of yourself for all to see.

Bro ur a blue maga it’s sad. The amount of mental gymnastics to think that people didnt Blame trump for literally everything. He was public enemy no1 for 4 years and still is.
I can’t breathe : omg drumpf is stoking the flames of white supremacy and he empowers these raycis PIGS! to murder this innocent man
Wuhan Flu : omg drumpf is raycis Xenophobe there is no way this came from a Chinese biolab. Wait never mind trump is trying to kill grandma he doesn’t want to shut down our economy he LITERALLY KILLED 600,000 people
gas prices were low because the economy wasn’t in the shitter
parkland= omg these EVIL white supremacist incels shooters obviously empowered by drumpf. Ofc he’s from Florida damn DEATHsantis supporter
They (retardedblue checkmark liberals) literally thought trump was trying to poison them with the COVID vaccine he pushed through and then 6 months later were posting their band aids and vax cards to every social media site possible. I would try to explain to you why Joe Biden is a shit president but you are a blue maga so you will not listen. But to think Trump wasn’t blamed for nearly all of the worlds problems during his presidency would be grossly ignorant at best.

Ah and yet even I don’t resort to ad hominem. I can see why all these old washed up green names are so set in their beliefs though. They were born in a time when voting blue meant something. Haha it’s crazy how things can change so fast.
Actually I’m bored ill continue with Biden’s most egregious crimes 1994 Crime Bill - Biden is to some degree racist, supported by many questionable things he said Clarence Thomas Confirmation - he attacked the nominee so thoroughly and with allegations (whether true or not) so venomous that it solidified Thomas's view to forever oppose ANY and ALL Democratic Party positions !!1988!! Presidential Race - dropped out due to admitting to plagiarism. For 90% of this website, Biden had already ran for pres before you were even conceived... Afghanistan - pulled out of an occupied country in a week or two, leaving behind billions in military equipment. We upgraded the taliban from tattered Cold War era AK’s to M4’s with laser sights and optics. Also essentially handed them their own country Border Crisis - yea remember this? Betcha don’t. There’s still a shit load of people sitting at the southern border either camping out or slowly finding their way in. Just because the media stopped reporting on it doesn’t mean they went away. Ukrainians down there with the salvis funny stuff Student Loan Forgiveness - haha did I say something about that? Shouldn’t have taken a loan you couldn’t repay Jack. Build Back Better, Infrastructure Bill - Yea idk they seemed to have just up and vanished like a fart in the wind. Somehow with a majority in every branch of government the dems couldn’t pass SHIT Inflation - the big one. Who would’ve thought that printing 50 percent of all USD (United States Dollar) in existence in the last 2 years was a bad idea. Nah were fine recessions are a thing of the past, QE never fails. Wait never mind we are raising rates if we go into recession too bad so sad.

i’m not joking. i sided with the right when i saw the reaction liberals had when he was elected. it was fucking ridiculous but then jan 6 happened. everyone’s a baby when their favorite politician they blindly love loses.
i was fully immersed in conservative social media but now i totally avoid all political social media cause it’s just dumb on both sides. everyone’s a headass on instagram aside from some centrist people shitting on both sides.

Oh good, an honest God-fearing, woman-hating, Republican that believes in the existence of the USA again. Welp, let's hope for a bit more progression on the other issues soon.....

Yea dude the jan 6 INSURRECTION was the greatest threat to our democracy since pearl harbor
Trump really helped bring some sketchy ideas from the fringe to the mainstream. I get that not everyone who supports trump supports these ideas, but it's pretty weird that there seems to be absolute radio silence addressing them, calling them out, differentiating themselves from it.
That's not a good thing. Also pretty interesting considering the "race isn't an issue, hasn't been an issue, stop talking about it" people are involved.
Trump has become such an identity for people. It made sense for the religious types. I mean it didn't make any sense because dude never was a christian values type, but I get it in terms of cult followings. I was a little more surprised by so many others doubling down so hard on trump. It still baffles me.
If you aren't about all the sketchy shit, then why are you hopelessly following him to the end? Why if somebody calls out something sketchy does that make you personally feel anger as if they're hurting you, and why do you freak out?
I get it you're owning the libs and brandon is sleepy or whatever. Who cares, cool. I've just never seen people so personally invested and get so personally offended if you say anything negative. He's become like jesus to people.
If you're not going to dissociate from the sketchy stuff, you aren't going to call it out, you're going to get deeply angry if somebody does, well where does that leave you?
People are diving into some pretty sketchy rabbit holes. Sucks pretty hard that mainstream racism is on the comeback again. And somehow anyone engaged in it is the victim.

If only the BLM riots were aimed at overturning the certification of a presidential election while chanting to hang our VP and the left media defended it by saying they were tourists being unfairly prosecuted and its fine to overturn elections you don't agree with.

Not a good look.
this is what you look like when you blame everything on racism and orange adolf
i love all the complaining skierman does about white people. if you're so evil and white why don't you donate some money or time to the cause instead of writing bullshit on internet forums.

Crime Bill - That was Clinton. Biden was not the president.
Clarence Thomas - Anita Hill got it way worse than Thomas.
1988 - Are we talking about a website in 1988? lol. Who even had the internet then? Also why are we talking about these things that probably happened long before you were born, much less before Biden was president?
Afghanistan - Trump signed off on pulling out of Afghanistan prior to Biden taking office and the due date on that assignment came before most of Biden's administration was even able to be confirmed or make hires... They still did a poor job but it cant be entirely blamed on Biden's admin. You can blame every administration and congress back to Jimmy Carter for Afghanistan...
Border 'Crisis' - Literally who actually cares? I say we make it a challenge - let's set up some crazy awesome obstacle course to cross the border - if they make it through, we give them a green card and allow them to try out for sports teams. If they fail or bring illicit items, then we send them to some uninhabited island and they have to build a new society there. In any case, Biden did not start a border crisis. I'm fairly certain neither of us really know what the real problems are down there anyway.
Student Loan Forgiveness - Biden has not implemented any student loan forgiveness. He was always pretty 'meh' about the idea and really doesn't like the idea of doing it under executive order...
Infra bill passed bipartisanly. Biden and Democrats compromised but at least something happened.
Build Back Better hasn't passed because of Mancin and Sinema holding it up without giving any specific reasons as to why... But that's not on Biden, that's on the Democrats not really controlling the Senate. Trump also failed to pass things despite control of congress - namely repealing Obamacare. All presidents fail to pass things they want.
Inflation - Not Biden's fault, nor Trump's for that matter. Inflation is happening worldwide right now, as production and supply chains have gone through all sorts of changes over the last 2 years with the covid crisis and have yet to recover. None of this is the fault of a US president or a leader of any country... The currency I work with has dropped like 30 points against the dollar in the last 3 months... this is a worldwide thing as a result of Covid.
None of these are egregious crimes - much less actual crimes.
DingoSeanCrime Bill - That was Clinton. Biden was not the president.
Clarence Thomas - Anita Hill got it way worse than Thomas.

Biden literally drafted the crime bill in the senate and was the one who pushed it through.
So? Anita Hill is not a supreme court justice, her opinions do not matter. Thomas's do.
Stop playing dumb. The fact that Biden had already ran for president and DROPPED OUT due to foul play over 30 years ago shows a long track record of incompetence.
Afghanistan couldn't have been handled any better? That's the best the Biden admin could do?
"Literally who cares" is not a valid response to a crisis involving hundreds of thousands of people.
You're agreeing with me?
Infrastructure bill was a gutted shell of what was promised. Blaming Sinema and Manchin doesn't do anything. Make them fall in line or reform because you obviously have no control of your party.
You don't understand how our economic system works. Blame Covid this Russia that you cannot get around the base issue that simply printing money (QE, PPP, Stimulus, Etc, etc ad infinitum) does not mean your economy is growing. In fact it does the opposite, but that can be hidden with the Fed (((adjusting))) monetary supply. When rates hit 0 that doesn't work anymore. So they just crank up the QE (money printing) and cross their fingers. Well we are seeing the beginnings of what happens to the 99% when thier wish doesn't come true.

Yea looks like he's got it most of it there. Interesting to see how he can see through 90% of it but then stops short once he's got his elite capitalist class defined. His marxist background inclines him to be satisfied there, but I would implore him to look deeper. After all, who makes up the .1% he despises?

Regarding the crime bill I think you fail to recognize what was happening at the time. The democrats were trying to show they were as tough on crime as the Willy hortonesque Republicans… and that bill was entirely bipartisan- and it had to be. Was it ultimately good? No.. but it was at a time when the war on the soviets had changed to the war on drugs… the Republicans no doubt would have passed something similar or worse if they could have so this point is sorta moot…
--
In 1988, what was seen as a gaffe or a scandal holds nothing to what happens now so this is a total who-cares… I mean we had Clinton’s blowjob, Bush’s endless gaffe machine of a mouth, Obama’s Tan Suit and Trump’s… well just trump since then… nothing from 88 compares to today lol. Especially plagerism on a website at a time when only super nerds could even access it.
--
Clarence Thomas was not a justice yet if I recall correctly - this all happened during the congressional hearings to approve him. in any case Anita Hill had nothing to gain for her actions.. so I’m inclined to believe her in this case. Also, Clarence Thomas isn’t exactly the character you probably want to bring up right now given his wife’s recent actions…
--
The immigration situation at the border is long and complex and is hardly something we should solely blame on Biden right now. Building an expensive wall there that nobody in the region wants certainly wouldn’t solve the problem. Certainly it’s an issue that needs to be worked out, but any action suggested in Congress consistently gets shot down by Republicans who’d rather do nothing about immigration reform shy of mass deportations (Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory and all… gotta keep out those dirty Mexicans from taking our jobs and voting illegally for the libs).
In any case, Illegal border crossings have declined SIGNIFICANTLY in the last 15 years since the end of the GW administration. If the Obama administration is any indicator of what Biden's will be on this topic, then they will continue to fall. If you want to stem illegal immigration, then the border is not the focal point - it's visa overstays, as they make up like 80% of illegal immigrants. The thing is, nobody really wants to focus on that, because many people who overstay and keep a job are not unskilled poor people from Latin America, but educated or skilled people from elsewhere such as Eastern Europe or Far East Asia, and deporting millions of them would lead to a massive production shortfall.
--
Are you suggesting that just because Biden didn’t get everything promised in the infra bill that he’s an abject failure? Guess we better throw shade at every president ever for that then… Trump is a failure for not repealing Obamacare or getting the wall financed by Mexico... Obama is a failure for not closing Guantanamo... GW is a failure for spending away the social security surplus and for false pretenses for Iraq... so on and so on... what do you suggest we do? Abolish the executive for literal centuries of failed promises? I’m open to suggestions...
--
inflation is happening more rapidly now sure but hardly for anything Biden has done as president. Most of the covid policies and spending happened under Trump… and giving a massive tax break for the rich did nothing to help. Add in consistently low-interest rates from the fed for the last 20 years and we are in the situation we are… inflation was bound to go up at the first sign of crisis… and it’s unfair to blame Biden for the actions of all previous administrations dating to the Reagan Admin… The idea that spending goes up just because the president has a D next to his name is a bunch of bollocks... for Bush and Trump were heavy spenders. Biden has consistently spoke of spending reductions, and given that no significant spending increases have begun, and with Trump era covid programs like PPP ending, its safe to say that's probably
Look, as an admittedly progressive voter, I'm plenty annoyed with Biden (who we all settled for), but he hasn't been even remotely egregiously criminal as you claim. If anything, he's been a little incompetent and hasn't punched as hard as I would hope he would - but to just erroneously throw heat at Biden for things that either happened 30 years ago, or that benefited Republicans? You're scraping the barrel for outrage dude...

Most of this is cope trying to skirt around the main issue. Biden has been in politics for over 45 years. Somehow hes managed to "gaffe" and "oopsie" his way through to the presidency. That should be alarming in itself. The dem party is a husk of its former self, symbolized perfectly by Joe Biden. Old, decrepit, out of touch, incompetent, and failing. Sinema and Manchin seething further supports this. Reform or Die, stop pretending everything is ok and its not your fault. The once proud blues are rotten to the core and all you can do is blame mango mussolini. You're still doing it. I don't think you even notice. 45 years old should be the age of the president, not how long he's spent stewing in the halls of DC.
In reality you don't even see the field yet. You are still rooting for your team. The stadium, the players, the rules of the game are all hidden to you. You don't like the other team. They are rotten and bad. And you're right. That's the funny part. I'm just trying to get you to see your team is rotten too. Once you understand that you can begin to look up from the game.

lmao i dont even get what you're saying my dude whats your point? You're in here acting like you're thinking big but sounding like a qanon dipshit.
Both political parties are corporatist, outdated, and bought out. We've got legalized corruption in American politics. Manchin and Sinema are evidence of this not the party being outdated. Imo Dingo did a good job at a balanced response to the points you brought up without even gassing up Biden. You're pulling the playing teams card and still not bringing any context or critical thinking
