    If Bill Clinton has to end up in prison for the rest of his life, well then, I guess that’s just a price i’m willing to pay.

    Conservatives value loyalty over truth, fairness, justice, etc.

    “Liberals have a kind of moral vision based almost entirely on the Care and Fairness foundations. Conservatives, in contrast, draw on those plus Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity, which makes their moral matrix broader.”

    “This emphasis on loyalty, particularly to country and in-group, helps explain why conservatives are more likely to value patriotism and support for the military, while liberals are more likely to question those things when they conflict with compassion or justice.”

    – (Haidt, 2012, The Righteous Mind, Chapter 7)

    Seriously. MAGA keeps freaking out about Hunter Biden and we couldn’t give a shit either.

    It’s almost like we just think people should get what they deserve no matter who they are.

    Yes but the Democratic Party establishment will never allow it. The wealthy who run both parties and the entire country will not allow it. They will literally send us into ground wars with Iran, China, and Russia before they allow themselves to be exposed to the public.

    Bill gates should be next:

    According to the article, Bill met with Epstein on “numerous occasions,” including one visit that spanned hours.

    “His lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing although it would not work for me,” he emailed colleagues in 2011, after his first encounter with Epstein.

      It’d be amazing if they all shared the same cell. Gates and Clinton slap the shit out of Trump because he snores too loud and won’t sleep on his stomach. Trump and Gates thump Clinton because he’s afraid of the shower block and won’t wash his ass. Trump yells at Gates so much about his eye-watering gas that he farts in the toilet out of fear. They deserve nothing less than each other.

        Lol, I’m not from the US. Just following US politics closely and doing what I can from a distance.

        But yeah, US „left“ is more right than most country’s “right“. But nearly all of Europe is going through a political right-shift too, so who knows how long that’ll last.

        Yep, I can’t stress enough how much I want every single one of the people investigated. And if they participated I want them to be punished. Heck, if it turned out that someone I currently admire and support did something horrible I’d want to know even more so I can stop supporting people like that.

    This is the thing that old people get where they think that every issue works both ways. They care about Trump so they assume we have the same opinions about the liberal elites like Clinton or Biden, or Obama.

    This is also where the “Father, I cannot click the book” comes from. They can’t find reliable info online and think that kids cant find reliable info from books.

      This is such a great observation.

      In thinking about it I think it kind of works backwards for them, too: they hear that we do care about something, and then they decide that they have to aggressively not care about it, or care in the opposite direction. Like the whole paper straw thing; nobody on the left really cared about it, but there were some conservatives who really thought they were ownin’ the libs by using plastic straws.

        It’s worth noting that there are some Democrats, both politicians and voters, who also endorse this strategy. Which is not surprising, especially for a career politicians, because it’s effectively noting that they don’t have any values, and also that their tactics are weak.

    This is what decades of right wingers calling democrats as communists will do to their worldview.

    If they are banking on a strategy of ignorance, then we have nothing to worry about comrades; eventually their imagined reality will collapse and their strategy will be broken.

    This is where they malfunction every time. The propaganda they’ve been fed tells them that all leftists are liberals and vice versa. As soon as you step outside of that structure, they become unmoored.

    Had some libertarian try to discredit my views and claim they were all from the mainstream media I watch. Homie, I don’t watch, nor read any of that corporate media liberal horseshit. Try again.

      You, and everyone in this thread, just aren’t getting it. If you respond “I don’t care, prosecute them too.” it’s just as meaningless to them as if you said “I really like peanut butter sandwiches”.

      They aren’t proposing a challenge. That’s not why they bring up people on the left being on the list too. They bring it up because then that means they don’t have to change. It’s both sides-ing so hard, that they don’t even have to give up their support of Trump. If everyone is covered in shit, then what’s the big deal about supporting their shit covered guy?

      But you guys keep thinking it makes them “malfunction every time”, rather than it just reinforcing their beliefs when they hear a form of agreement.

        They aren’t proposing anything and there’s nothing to get. They never propose anything because their whole platform is built on bullshit. It’s their way or no way. Have you not seen these folks get off on watching the “out group” get arrested, beaten, etc? They use democrats as the punching bag like any of us give a shit about them. None of this stuff even matters in the end because it’s nothing more than punching horizontal vs punching up.

    Man I remember yelling about the Clintons being monsters for over a decade and would get downvoted and banned from subs, I did the same when all the cute Joe Biden memes about ice cream and cars were all going around, and got downvoted for reminding everyone that Biden is as bloody as you get.

      Saying that Biden raped a woman, would’ve gotten you banned from reddit (and the liberal lemmy servers) just a few months ago. The liberals dropped #metoo faster than a rock during election season.

    The DNC and their billionaire donors care though. That’s really who our elected officials work for.
