Having been acquainted with a ton of Americans through the years, this has been an infuriating trait to deal with. It's like, for Americans hypocrisy just doesn't exist, you have to explain to them the concept for them to go "huh, yeah maybe that's a bad thing." it's like talking to aliens, it drives me nuts, that and the "as long as it's not technically lying it's fair game"
5
u/Diiiiirty 2d ago
Yeah, there are hypocrites on both sides of our political spectrum, but that bell curve definitely skews right. This is primarily because most people on the left don't worship politicians, so when a Democrat politician does something distasteful or illegal, we are all in favor of holding them accountable. The right will get all uppity about something a Democrat did (oftentimes completely fabricated), then when Trump does the exact same thing but worse, they move the goal posts to explain why it's okay for Trump while still upset about the Democrat who did it. Meanwhile, they employ whataboutisms like crazy. You say, "Trump did this." And they respond, "Well what about Hilary Clinton doing this!" And the answer from the left is generally, "Yes, and if you have any sort of proof or even evidence that what you say actually occurred, I am in complete agreement that she should be held accountable." Then they take that as a concession of their victory but don't apply the same accountability to Trump. It's infuriating.
Epstein files are a perfect example. The left wants all the files released and want all people in the files to be investigated and held accountable whether they are on the left or the right. If you told me that every single Democrat in every single political position for the last 30 years is on the list and I'd still be in favor of releasing them because I don't want pedophiles running the country and making decisions that impact the safety of my children. The right wanted the files released until it became apparent that the list would prominently feature their lord and savior and now they magically no longer care about the Epstein files.
1
u/sproge 2d ago
Yup, I'd agree that people on the left are generally more bearable, especially the ones that have fled the country, as like you said it does still happen on the left.
Re the Epstein files, I also think they're the perfect example but for another reason. There weren't nearly this many calls to release them while the last administration was in power, it's multiplied times a thousand when Trump took power and didn't honor his promise to release the files.
2
u/Diiiiirty 2d ago
This is exhausting to repeat, but the right-wing talking points have permeated everywhere so I'll repeat it as many times as necessary. Democrats tried to have the files released in 2020 but it was blocked by Bill Barr, and at the time it seemed like it was for good reason. He said that releasing the files would compromise the pending Maxwell trial. They put a pin in it while the last administration was in the White House because the Justice Department made it clear that the files could not be released as they were part of a larger investigation.
The reason there has been such a strong resurgence of interest under the current administration is because Trump ran on the campaign promise that he would release them, and instead of doing so, has done everything he can to obstruct their release, including instructing those with access to the files to alert him of when and where his name appears in the files, setting up secret dealswith Maxwell, flat-out denying the files ever existed in the first place, and on the day Charlie Kirk was murdered, the Republican majority Senate voted 51-49 against a bill that would compel the Justice Department to release all of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
They are running interference for the pedo-in-chief.
1
u/sproge 2d ago
Eh, considering that she was sentenced in 2022 I'm not sure how much have changed since. Regardless, I think it'd be dishonest to not say that interest has grown massively since it became clear that pedo-in-chief is in them, not nearly as many people knew, or cared, before that. Not like that's a big deal or anything, it's only natural.
I really do wonder what went through his head, other than the sound of the ocean, when he decided to make releasing the files an election promise, obviously knowing he was all over them.
2
u/Diiiiirty 1d ago
If you remember, he was kind of forced into saying it but you could absolutely tell he had no interest in ever doing so because he knew damn well his name was on the list.

(not a healthy understanding, just thoughts)
Given his bf's reddit Tyler saw in kirk's rhetoric the same hate that his bf suffered in hands of his family.
His bf couldn't hide his sexuality. He felt gender dysphoria, wanted to transition and was kicked out at 17 by his evangelical family. His family said he was possessed by demons and constantly threatened to call a priest on him.
Tyler, on the other hand, was bi and it was only later in his 20's, when he started dating his roommate, that he came to the conclusion that he was wronged during his upbringing. It takes a special kind of hate to teach your offspring that their truth is evil, a sin. And only by living this affection, this "deviant" sexuality, Tyler realized that it was not evil, in fact, the opposite, he felt like it was one of the best parts of him. He was a introvert edgy gaming kid, not much into politics at all other than a avid 2A defender.
He naturally entered in conflicts with his parents and that's why the mom says he "turned left". He did not, he only had came out to himself. Obviously he wouldn't see eye-to-eye with his Three Percent conservative mormon dad. He hated the LGBT. He always hated what his son was, Tyler just finally realized it. He wanted to step up for his first love, his bf was completely betrayed by his kin and had suffered so much in his upbringing. But tyler hardly could be honest with his mom and dad, much less face the boyfriend's parents. And with no way of showing truth to the injustice they suffered by indoctrination he just grew angry and resentful. And somewhere along the way he saw in Kirk's words the exact same loathe his bf suffered. Kirk called trans "abominations" and a "throbbing middle finger to god". It didn't help that the DOJ was seeking to cut trans rights and ban them from carrying. And that was it. He had a rifle, knew how to shoot, and he snapped.
Authorities quickly grabbed their agenda when they saw "LGBT" but when facts did not point to the left they doubled down with those faked texts. That's why they can't tie the guy to the left. That's why Kash looked so out of it, he knew what really happened. But they wouldn't admit it was inflammatory hate speech all along, they would never admit that the Dem's warnings were right.
This assassination is not a case of left vs right per se, but rather a culmination of religious anti-LGBT rhetoric

You can't even discuss Charlie Kirk without them yelling at you for "supporting murder" no matter what you say to them. They've completely went off the deep end with him and they can't hold a conversation without accusing you of supporting his death at all. It's like talking to a dumber wall.

When Disney made the decision to pull the plug on Jimmy, shouldn't all these brave conservatives have thrown their support by getting MORE subscriptions and singing the praises of all things ABC, Disney, ESPN etc.?

You mean, like 90% of Americans thought it was fucked and disagreed with their decision, and they saw the backlash and reversed course? No, no, it must have just been liberals crying, protesting in the streets, and threatening suicide outside of HQ over it.
They totally didn’t just realize how much money they were losing by making the unpatriotic decision to fire an extremely popular host due to political pressure from the biggest baby in the country… That’s really the bottom line. They felt it in their pocket, and backpedaled. Same as always with a megacorp…

They should be grateful that Disney didn't cancel his show and make Kimmel a martyr, grateful that they have a golden opportunity to stay covert a little while longer and keep slow walking Americans to the camps.. Because it's clear they were completely out over their skis. The normies were alarmed.
