I’m absolutely sure she could kick his ass. So he would probably do anything she wants, cause Donald want’s to please Putin. But it’s only $ for Melanie, er Melania. How anyone can live with themselves after supporting that bastard is a confusment to me. ---

> [@solost](#): > > I’m convinced that the main reason trump has such a hold on a certain contingent of the populace is simply that he expresses hate for the same people they hate. Notice that the MAGA crowd ignores it when he expresses hate for people they love (ie, Dolly Parton)? Their idolization of Trump is simply because he expresses hate. Prior to Trump, it was becoming increasingly more difficult to express hate towards anybody, particularly if it was hate for a group of people as opposed to a single human. Trump changed that. So, as long as Trump is expressing hate and not getting called on it, they are happy. They don’t complain when they disagree with him because they want to be able exercise their hatred without limits. ---

Based on what I’m seeing on Twitter, Trump cultists are getting a lot of satisfaction and giggles from Trump’s attack on Reiner. True, a few far-right figures are sensing a backlash. Simon Goddek, a conspiracy theorist and anti-Semite who has 1.1 million Twitter followers, gloated today about Reiner getting karma, but later issued this “apology”. > [@](#): > > Transparency tweet: I’ve deleted my tweet about Rob Reiner from 8 hours ago. At the time of posting, I wasn’t aware of the tragic circumstances surrounding his death. That said, he was one of the worst perpetrators of dehumanization during COVID, which is why I made the karma tweet in the first place. I’m sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings. Amen. I’m sorry Goddek is such a slimeball. De nada. ---

I’m surprised by the outrage, and expected a defense along the lines of, “Despite all of the hatred from Reiner, Trump was generous in saying that he and his wife should rest in peace, the Godly wonderful man that he is.” ---

What I’m seeing a lot on FB is “what about all the Democrats who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death?” What I recall was recreational outrage from the right against anyone who didn’t declare that Kirk was the saintliest saint who ever sainted. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > What I recall was recreational outrage from the right against anyone who didn’t declare that Kirk was the saintliest saint who ever sainted. And from the left, I recall a lot of, “He was awful but nobody should be killed for their political beliefs.” Which would honestly be refreshing if that was coming from the right on this one. Different standards, of course. ---

Is it vile? Yes, but it’s completely within Donald’s character to say something like that. I would have to think real hard to even figure out if it’s in the top 10 of vile things he’s said over they years. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > What I recall was recreational outrage from the right against anyone who didn’t declare that Kirk was the saintliest saint who ever sainted. Yes, this. And it was considered a horrible, HORRIBLE thing if you quoted the actual words that Charlie Kirk said. This was considered to be “celebrating his death”. By simply repeating what he actually said. ---

Your cite says a MAGA influencer referred to Dolly as a “Creepy Creature” and was vilified. Trump said it and we got a [ho-hum]. Kinda proves my point. It is OK for Trump to ~~not like~~ hate Dolly even if they love her.
