Trump hates Democrats because they refuse to worship him.

Big double standard for sure - but I believe the media made a big deal about that because the Republicans made a Huge deal out of that. R’s are great at keeping a topic alive and in front of the media.

Classic Trumpian projection. HE hates America as it is today. That is what drives everything he is doing. But I think more than his animus toward others is his self-loathing.

Trump paved a broad path by calling his opponents “vermin” in late ‘23.

I participated in some Massachusetts 250th anniversary events this year. We’re a bit ahead of the rest of you on this whole revolt against the king thing. But I find it hard to get behind anything more.

True. But now a lot of us actually hate them. I don't consider Magas or even conservatives at this point as fellow countrymen or even fully human.

I'm going to love seeing that fucker go down. And he will. They always do.

"Trump just says things."

Lol Trump told my parents to hate Dems and they got a big surprise when they found out I vote blue and im just like ✌ I always knew you hated me stay mad about it (You don't grow up with racist conservatives as a closeted kid and NOT find out how hateful these people are, 0 emotional intelligence)

Behind the Bastards made tho great episodes on how liberal media helped fascism in the 30s 40s.

This would be above the fold on the New York Times for a week and 24x7 cable news coverage if it was anybody but him

They made a huge deal out of him offering comparatively mills criticism of an openly racist Trump rally.

Seriously. That statement is akin to a declaration of civil war. He MUST BE IMPEACHED. I don’t care whether it works to remove him the first, second, third, fourth or fifth (etc.) time.

The journalists might not but the owners certainly do.

Even if it did not have a preference, what it is doing now has the same effect

The fourth estate has completley failed.

I'm going to quibble a little here. It's not the "I hate them" that is comparable, it's the "they hate their country." The basket of deplorables/cling were about the other side, "I hate democrats" alone is about one's self. BUT... that isn't to say it shouldn't be a WTAF point...

He’s disgusting.

I actually posted this before catching up on the details of the story. That piece of shit, glorified game site posing as a newspaper.

There’s a lot riding on that ONE example when we know it’s about multiple examples and the constant drumbeat of the media on whatever the narrative shapes up to be. Yes, NBC reported it factually…but will the hammer the topic relentlessly for WEEKS like they did with “garbage”?

It took me far too long, but I tune out all “media” opinions. Just the facts, mam.

Nope. I love my country. I hate what he's doing to it. And him? There's this word spelled "loathe" that certainly applies.

I will always wear his hatred as a badge of honor

I feel that if they did cover it and he was asked about it his response would be “I only hate them because they hate me first, they hate the country. If they loved the country they’d love me and I’d love them back but they can’t, they can’t love me they won’t love me. They started it…”

He conflating himself with "country". He does this a lot. "If you don't like Trump, you don't like America" is basically what he and his grovelling followers are saying every day. It's quite toxic.

Boycott

Nobody hates their country more than fake patriots. 56 years since this was published and it’s truer today than ever.

Should take a look at @nick-carmody.bsky.social's timeline. He's talked at length about a whole host of topics surrounding tribalism, the man himself, and all the factors leading up to this point. He also has a free Substack and Patreon. Links: nickcarmody.substack.com www.patreon.com/NickCarmody

Across-the-aisle fetishism dies a quiet and lonely death.

And then ignored it.

Yes, and the more it happens & he stays silent about it the worse it will get.

It's all projection. If you have intact eyeballs and/or a functioning brain, you can see who hates America (hint: it's the guy actively destroying everything good and honorable about America while cranking the worst of our country's flaws up to 11)

"I believe they hate their country" Every accusation a confession

Trump was, at the point of the Biden garbage comment, also making it pretty clear he considered Democrats to be "the enemy within." The double standard was there at the time.

Like glenn greenwald and his book on bush-cheney, jake tapper will write a lackluster book on trump when politically convenient and tides have already changed. Don’t forget to not give him any credit in the future.

Well that’s obviously bc the deplorable and clinging to guns argument was about “real Americans” and everyone knows democrats aren’t “real Americans”

True. There used to be a fact-based media. And facts have a well-known liberal bias.

Agree completely. And this Democrat hates him right back.

Being able to look at my country with admiration and disappointment; to acknowledge hubris, vanity, and arrogance coexists with strength, ingenuity, and vision...this makes me love the concept and reality of the US. To deny any of it, is to not respect our journey or appreciate the work it took.
