im having trouble thinking of times when trump being unpredictable and incompetent were bad things if anything thats where all the silver linings came from

When he had Soleimani blown up?

In retrospect, Trump being unpredictable actually prevented more war than it caused. That Muslim immigration ban was pretty much the only negative Trump wildcard thing that he actually got away with

the muslim ban wasnt even that far out legally the only problem with it was that trump said too many racist things ahead of time hilary could have and probably would have passed the exact same ban and the event would have passed without comment because there wasnt a narrative of her being racist

I disagree to an extent. I think trump thread posters by and large were very much aware of the larger picture but focused on trump because a) he's dumb as poo poo and that's extremely funny and b) he's wildly unpredictable and incompetent, which posed real and unique threats

The allure of going psychotic over trump the past 4 years is everyone encouraged everyone else to do it. He was the worst so it was completely fine to just hate and despise him all day every day. Anything goes.

Its too late to stop encouraging them here since the mods have been in on it the whole time going insane themselves, so containment threads are probably the only real option. Most of them will move on in a few months and the ones that dont are beyond help anyway.

that's absolutely true but it applies a lot more to the lib dem base than it does to the trump thread, of which there was not to my knowledge a single Biden supporter

The Trump threads are fun because we play off the absolute absurdity of everything as a way to cope while also yes, understanding the big picture (mostly, I'm not gonna say that there aren't truly brokebrained posters). It's not mutually exclusive

also i mostly posted in the trump thread because i only have a finite amount of posting time and at least trump was insane enough to be funny

succ zone was/is depressing but also 100% right

on the bright side, the climate change thread is giving me hope that humanity dying is speeding up so maybe we won't take literally every other species out with us

Trump thread consensus was never as hard anti dem as succ zone. Whether it was because the thread moved to fast for it to cause major blowups, I'm not sure.

what

that's like saying that the succ zone thread consensus was never as anti-trump as the trump thread. the subject of the thread is obviously going to be the focus of conversation while things like "dems bad" and "trump bad" are taken as obvious if they aren't the focus. that's like, the premise of cspam, that we all accept those things as obviously true

idk this is a bizarre point of view to me as someone that has always posted in both places.

those biden thread posters that agreed with jupiter jazz are like, not trump thread posters. at all. wtf
