Why can trump and his supporters call democrats fascists but the moment democrats give them the same treatment, they can't handle it?

trump has called democrats fascists on multiple occasions and even told democratic members of congress to go back to where they came from. But the moment Joe Biden does it to them, oh it is a declaration of war, let war come then because the majority of america are not afraid of you.

If you read a lot about politics then you will notice that this sort of thing is standard. Politics is a game, a theater. That's where the term "Political Theater" comes from. When one party does something, they celebrate and the other opposes. Members have to back each other up to look united. So this whole "Fascist" thing is just part of that game. Just laugh it off and move on to the next story.

Welcome to politics. Shit, welcome to life on earth. Humans are wildly hypocritical by nature, I’ve just learned to accept it as a fact of life and not get up in arms about it, because it’ll never stop happening, and it’s easier than just always being mad, haha

I agree, but I see it more in politics if anything and not just trump but the reason I call trump out is because of Jan 6th, if biden had done it then I would be no less critical.

Oh, for sure. Politics is one of the greatest shitshows life has to offer. MAGA Republicans are living in a completely alternate reality, the likes of which I’ve never seen before. What’s fun about it is that so many these things they’re under fire for now are actually worse versions of things they’ve recently given Democrats shit for. There were protests that turned to riots and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, the right wing went absolutely nuts about it, but then they upped the ante on January 6th, which is worse, because that was literally trying to interfere with the democratic election system our nation relies on, as opposed to what I would call fairly justified civil unrest over police brutality, which we’ve been pointing out for 30+ years since Rodney King got his ass whupped on camera, and the unrest got out of hand in some instances. That’s not defensible, but I don’t blame it on the unrest, I blame it on the minority of idiots who abused an otherwise well-intentioned event. Meanwhile, Jan. 6th was a deliberate call to arms, and I can buy that some of the people weren’t there to do dirt, but some certainly WERE, and showed up in the morning with that specific plan. And most importantly, a cop really DID kneel on George Floyd’s neck for nine minutes, whereas we’re still waiting for any legitimate proof of election fraud to this day, two years later. MyPillow Guy keeps promising it, but for like the third time, he’s failed to deliver, so at some point, between him and the multitude of courts that summarily dismissed the fraud suits, I have to use my common sense and come to the conclusion that none of the election fraud shit is real.

And now we have the scandal of the classified documents, after like seven years of “But Hillary’s emails!” Like you really couldn’t have scripted this any better, it’s absolutely hilarious. I don’t have all the numbers in front of me, but Hillary’s emails, though they throw around “33,000”, there were like 3 emails that were actually holding classified info. Trump had like a hundred-something of them. But right on cue, the Trump Defense Brigade is there to downplay it and make it seem like it’s fine but Hillary is still the most treasonous politician in US history. There’s more information we need to hear before I could rightfully expound any further, but that irony isn’t lost on me. They basically just claim to have all these principles, but they cast them aside if it comes down to that or whatever is politically convenient for them at the time.

exactly, when their side does it, it is justified and in defense of what supposed offense the liberals did to them whether imaginary or real, they think that if liberals can supposedly get away with a made up crime then their side should not be held accountable for breaking the law. The trump supporters are the biggest perpetrators of the crab mentality, if they can't have something then no one else will.

[Asker]

I mean look at their defense of the coup attempt on Jan 6th, and yes it is a coup attempt or better yet another beer hall putsch. Notice how they dance around and trying to play semantics around the word "coup", yet they love to accuse democrats of committing an imaginary coup during the legal impeachment hearings of donald trump. A legal hearing is not a coup attempt and they love to play the whole we follow the law, but only when it suits them when people protest against racial and gender violence perpetuated by law enforcement.

and look at how they love to call out so called wokeness, to me wokeness is their code word for race traitor.

[WhiteSteve]

Honestly, I wish we could just release news stories dishonestly once in a while that have the opposite culprit, let it sit for 24 hours, let the outrage boil over…. and then release the REAL story, and be like “SIKE!!! It was YOUR guy who did that! So make sure you keep the same energy you had yesterday when you thought it was the opps!”😂

[Asker]

me too, trump supporters are a bunch of rich white guys mad that their entitled asses are being put in their place but most of us real americans have jobs and actually work and pay our taxes so we don't have the time like these spoiled brats doo.

[WhiteSteve]

Haha, well, where I’m at, the people with money tend to be educated people with exposure to the world outside of what their used to, so they lean left, oftentimes. There’s a pretty wealthy town next door to me, and that’s where I see the most signs BLM, “Hate Has No Home Here”, Democratic politicians, and they’ll have rainbow flags outside their doors, yadda yadda. More middle class towns seem big on Trump. It’s like the middle manager type who’s getting by but thinks they could do better, so they eat up the Republican tropes about how they’re being held back because of affirmative action or high taxes to pay for deadbeats or illegal immigrants, blah blah, “vote for us and we’ll fix it!” The have all the Blue Lives Matter shit because they fear all the “scary” minorities in the hoods of the city that they never venture into, but still seem to think are driving out to their suburb tonight to rob their houses😂😂😂 Just wild, irrational fear stoked by politicians from the already-burning embers of their built-in prejudices. I think a lot of spoiled rich brats are in on this, but for different reasons, and working class MAGA people are the useful idiots they manipulate into probably voting against their own interests, but they’re able to get them to let their prejudice win out.

Trumpturdism isn't defined by any kind of rational thinking or logic. All you can really discern is screaming, insults, violence and erratic behavior.

Because they are the flakiest of snowflakes.
