Why are democrats still obsessed with Trump to this day?

[Lookingforthetruth]

We see democrats still talk about this guy 2 years into Biden's presidency and very little discussion or topics are made about Biden's policies and how they relate to america Hell, if you have to obsess over republicans why not speak about those more prominent in the news like Ron Desantis and Abbot instead of Trump.

What is up with democrats and their obsession with this guy? Why do so many of them stalk his family members and post their whereabouts on social media websites?

For example, I recently saw redditors secretly recording Donald Trump Jr. on a plane then updating everyone in the subreddit of what he was doing. This was going on r/politics. You would never see conservatives doing weird shit like this.

[RomanticRealist]

Instead of getting too defensive, I want to ask you if you really think you’re being fair. I’m not sure how well versed in politics you are, but it’s pretty common for people to want to hold others accountable for things they don’t agree with. Not only that, but Republicans are still talking about election fraud that has yet to be actually proven. I’ve literally listened to podcasts where republican public officials who know election fraud didn’t happen are *still* having to confront an aggressive onslaught of republican voters who still believe this, despite the fact that it has literally never been proven. And to go a bit further, Republicans are also still obsessed with Trump. Again, I’m not sure how closely you follow politics, but I do. Trump is still wildly popular among Republicans. Republicans who debt the election fraud myth or who don’t align themselves with Trump quite literally put their careers at risk because Republican voters are so loyal to Trump that these politicians often lose those elections. And let’s not even get into how Trump tapped into Republican discontent by talking about Obama’s leadership and his presidency.

So, again I ask about whether or not this is a fair question.

Republicans are often obsessed with talking about Democrat leaders they don’t like, especially to get elected. Republicans are still obsessed with Trump. Republicans are still upset about election fraud and punishing sensible Republican leaders who don’t tell them what they want to hear. If Republicans are often obsessed with Democrats and Trump, why is it a problem for Democrats to do the same thing?

[RomanticRealist]

*doubt

[RomanticRealist]

And also, do you believe criminals and people who do harm should be above the law? If not, the. You should understand why Democrats are obsessed with Trump. They view him as threat to democracy and one of the most harmful political figures in modern history. People who aren’t Republicans generally don’t think he’s above the law and still think he should be punished in some way. Accountability for actions.

[RomanticRealist]

Also Republicans literally stormed the capital and broke into our own government, shouting they wanted to hang their own Vice President. So with all due respect, I’d argue Republicans do much more concerning things than what you’ve posted.

[Paige90]

Stop watching MSNBC and CNN! Is Hillary above the law? Is Hunter?

[RomanticRealist]

@Paige90

I'm not a fan of Hillary or Hunter, so I'm not sure why you're commenting about them, but okay.

[Bratsondanielle]

Well, Biden is a disaster. The whole democrat thing we got now is a disaster. First of all I'd say they try to divert attention (kinda like a magician) from their own disasters by constantly trying to show people how bad Trump is.

Second it's kinda like they have really nothing else. What should they brag about? What have they done that they can say "looka-here everyone: Biden just did this"!!! I mean it's kinda impressive how he turned everything into shit in record time, but nobody is impressed with that.

So - again - they have to say "oh look at Trump " and basically that's what the whole election was too. "orange man bad" was really all they had

Even democrats be like "oh I vote/voted for Biden cuz I hate Trump" and I'm like "what?"

Good news is he's really low in polls like in the 30's or so. Funny thing is even the hordes of people he's letting across the border hoping for votes polls show they'll vote red

[D_Bone_Steak]

This!^^^^

[pers0n]

So what about religious crossdressing (aka sacred androgyny) and the whole trump family being part of it? Donald Trump Jr is taller than his wives but when they wear high heels and their heads are level, you can see that their wives have bigger skulls, leaner broader shoulder, thicker necks and jaws, and the list goes on. Did i mention that all of their wives's noses are still bigger than theirs even after a nose job? Obviously this is dressing the opposite of their bone structure and by definition, androgynous.

[Bratsondanielle]

@pers0n never even heard of it

[D_Bone_Steak]

The left dropped their principles and picked up Trump hysteria and woke ideology it seems. If they'd just do something, like anything right, then they could point at that and be like "see, we did this good thing," but instead they just keep fucking shit up and saying "Orange man bad." I think the average normie that has a job and can't be bothered with deeper politics is starting to notice... because they're paying out the ass for everything and not hearing about anything good that isn't shown to be completely false in a week's amount of time. Also @pers0n, you're onto something there... just looking at that chick makes me cringe.. it's like looking at a man.

[pers0n]

How about the wrestler in drag with dragon sized muscular neck?

Who was as much planned out as drag queens death?
gematrinator.com/.../
Liberals who loved the queen, did you know her connection to Jesuits? What the jesuit oath says? And is QAnon a CIA controlled psyop (not trolling)? ↗

[pers0n]

@D_Bone_Steak if we had a poll, I'd say the old one is cringier and even creepy.

[WhiteSteve]

I never understand this argument. It’s not like Trump quietly disappeared to the North Pole. It’s not like he doesn’t constantly tease himself as the Republican candidate for 2024. It’s not like he doesn’t constantly weigh in on current events trying to tell us how bad Biden is and how much better it would have been with him. It’s not like he deaded the stolen election talk. It’s not like he didn’t create his own social media site to continue his crazy rants and tantrums after Twitter booted him. It’s not like he isn’t the center of multiple criminal and civil lawsuits and investigations. It’s not like he doesn’t still have his MAGA rallies. It’s certainly not like his supporters have shut up about him. He hasn’t AT ALL gone away, even a little bit, so why would anyone NOT talk about him?

[Lookingforthetruth]

A lot of these things you mention, you can just avoid by not stalking him on social media or turning off the news when they mention him.

[Agagagagaga]

For fun I listened to Bill Maher’s “Overtime”segment from his show to see how quickly he and his panel of guests would mention Trump.

15 seconds.

They made it 15 seconds before bringing him up in conversation. 😂

[MCheetah]

@WhiteSteve
Trump has been out of the White House for years, has been blacklisted from all major social media sites, and is pretty much not on anyone's mind but the radical left and hardcore MAGA hatters. He also stands no chance of being nominated for 2024 either, because the Democrats would literally assassinate him first before they let that happen. So this is a total strawman argument. Not even most Republicans obsess over him like the deranged left does. It's unhealthy, stalker behavior, but because it's Trump, that makes it "normal" in these people's eyes.

[WhiteSteve]

@Lookingforthetruth @Agagagagaga @MCheetah you guys are acting like none of the stuff I said is true, yet it’s ALL true. None of that is addressed, other than the onus is apparently on everyone else to just ignore Trump’s existence? I’m not a democrat, I don’t think much of Trump, but I’m not rooting for him to go to prison or anything, I’d just like to just go back to my prior existence of not giving a shit about politics, but there’s been a lunatic in the mix since 2015, so I’m kind of forced to pay attention right now. It’s not so much Trump as much as what he seems to bring out of people, it’s just gross and makes me question the decency of humanity and where our priorities are. He doesn’t affect me whatsoever, my caring about any of it is much more for the sake of the rest of the world than for me, I might bounce from this country any year now, so I have no long-term interest in it unless the tide changes and I decide the people here are worth living around. But I mean, I come on GAG…. right wingers talking about Trump. YouTube, right wingers talking about Trump. If he hasn’t gone away in your circle —and you can’t tell me he hasn’t— why would there be any expectation of anyone to stop discussing him as a key figure in current events? When people go away, they won’t be talked about much anymore. But Trump is a constant, daily source of news, whether on his own accord or due to the trouble he’s gotten himself into on MULTIPLE fronts. You’re pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining to suggest anything to the contrary.

[MCheetah]

@WhiteSteve
It's objectively false. Nobody's "forcing you" to pay attention to anything, let alone complain about him. Nobody is keeping Trump in the zeitgeist except all of you people obsessed with hating him for literally nor reason (other than the mainstream media told you to).

It's also lame and childish AF to blame another man for other people choose to do. That's like, what little kids do. "I'm not a bad person; Trump just makes me that way. It's HIS fault I act so bad!"

I literally haven't heard anything about Trump prior to the Mar-a-Lago stuff EXCEPT from the crazy internet people with TDS. Nobody not obsessed with hating Trump cares enough about him to keep his name alive 24/7 long after he left the White House.

"Why would there be any expectation of anyone to stop discussing him as a key figure in current events?"
Because he's been out of the news, White House, and social media sites for two years now? But regardless, is still every far-left idiot's boogeyman, and nothing is going to change that anytime soon. It'll be 2043 and these morons will STILL be calling him "worse than Hitler" and whatnot. It's so goddamn immature and pathetic. I kinda WISH I had people who hated me that much. I'd make such a killing off of their obsession. I'd sell dart boards and toilet paper with my face on it. I'd be making millions every year off of their hate!

The biggest irony is, as I said, if they DID stop talking about him, he'd fade away and truly become irrelevant. Nobody seems to be Trump's biggest fans than the far-left lunatics on the internet.

But sure... Say whatever excuses, mental gymnastics, and strawmen you need to hate a man for no literally reason and waste hours of your finite life doing it...

[WhiteSteve]

@MCheetah Man, you and me must be on totally different internets and different realities (you’re not living in the US, right?) because I see a shitload of all the things you say I shouldn’t be seeing. I was just fishing in New Hampshire last weekend, Trump flags EVERYWHERE on the properties on the lake, the boats, etc. MAGA support is alive, well, and loud. The only reason I’m really that bothered is that I still have to hear them squawking. Even on GAG, man, you don’t see all the pro-Trump questions or rhetoric? Let’s Go Brandon, Fuck Joe Biden, etc is all an extension of that, too. Believe me, I can’t WAIT to dip out of politics. The glass of warm milk placeholder we call Joe Biden, I hoped he’d be bland enough to chill shit out, the left certainly doesn’t hold any bright candle for him, but the right can’t shut up about how bad they think he is. And they never just say “Biden sucks”, it’s always “Biden sucks, AND….” and then something about Trump, how he should still be there, or it would be better if he was still there, “Trump 2024!”, all that. So Trump and the mention of his name have gone NOWHERE. I have to categorically reject your assertion that the right has just moved on and forgotten about him, because that’s just not what I’ve encountered in reality.

As far as hating him…I mean, the guy is notorious for saying and doing shitty things. He’s not likable. Typically, in a society, others will hold you accountable if they think you’re a shitty person, we don’t reward that kind of behavior because it’s detrimental to the very society we’re trying to foster. The supposed right to be a douchebag publicly without reproach or repercussion is a WILD hill to choose to die on, like is that what we’re shooting for? “Freedom” to be an asshole? Might as well just go feral if we’re going to live like that, that has no place, and shouldn’t have a place, in a civilized society.

[WhiteSteve]

@MCheetah I don’t know, man, I just witnessed a drastic shift in decency levels of humanity in America that juuuusssstttttt so happened to directly coincide with Trump’s candidacy, presidency, and then it really shifted into overdrive when the lying about election fraud began, because people reacted the way they would have been justified to IF it were true…. but it wasn’t. But so many of them think it was, so here we are. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, lmfao. But anyway, when my eyes see patterns, I have to believe them. With all due respect, man, we’ve always been civil on here…. I feel like you’re reporting this stuff to me live from some other planet, because none of it checks out with what I personally witness on a daily basis, both out in the world and on the internet. My dad lives with me and watches FoxNews, so I overhear a lot of it, and they mention Trump seemingly every night, somehow. I drive by a house like three times a week on the way to a hockey rink that still has Trump signs on the front lawn, people hang his flags at highway overpasses, bumper stickers, t-shirts, hats…I see pro-Trump messaging literally every single day without looking for it, and I live in fucking Massachusetts, I can’t imagine what it looks like in Mississippi or something. Only thing competing is news of this bum DeSantis, and his whole deal is trying to be Diet Trump and win over the mean-spirited crowd. Meanwhile I see much less liberal messaging, except this one jabroni with a decked out “Ridin’ With Biden” car🤦‍♂️😂 But there’s an occasional BLM sign or a rainbow flag, but really nothing else to speak of. The Trumpers here are just SUPER loud and in-your-face about it, so they go real hard in the paint letting you know who they support.

[MCheetah]

Maybe that's just your area then. I stay in touch back home all the time, and I'm from a super-liberal city (Philadelphia). If anything, the only stuff conservatives have been talking about, is DeSantis running for president. Trump isn't even on internet news much these days, besides that one mini controversy from a few weeks ago. And there's like THREE people on GAG who talk about Trump running again and I'm sure you already know who two of them are (I won't say their names, but you've likely seen them).

In short, I think maybe YOUR area may still be talking about him, but no one else is. I think that's called Frequency Bias. The more something is on your mind, the more you notice it. Either way, this doesn't excuse all the TDS idiots online who keep Trump's name and memory alive daily when all they're doing is helping him. I'm not even anti-Trump and I can see how stupid that is.

[MCheetah]

As for being not likeable, I don't have an issue with people disliking him. I have an issue for people blindly hating him and having to make sh*t up about him, in order to justify not liking him. Even if I hated Trump, I could still admit he's objectively better as president as Biden. But the people who want to lie and deny reality JUST to justify their Trump hate boner, are the worst kind of people at all. I don't blame people for disliking Trump, but I can tell you this. In 2016, I voted for Trump and didn't like him either, but admitted he was better than Hillary. By 2017, I started to feel bad for Trump for how much lies and slander people put out against him; including Mark Hamill cursing out his grandson on Christmas on Twitter. And by 2018, I was on Trump's side. In other words, the people who hate Trump are FAR bigger pieces of human sh*t, than Trump ever could be. So it becomes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" by extension. If Trump was such a bad guy, all the left would have to do is give him enough rope to hang himself (like Biden is doing right now). But no; they go out of their way to lie and slander him, and wasted millions on a fake "Russian bots" Muller investigation, while literally rigging an election in 2020 and bragging about it in f*cking TIME Magazine.
time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/
The hypocrisy of the left makes ANYONE more likeable than them, and their hatred is so vile, they'd literally support Adolf Hitler if he was a Democrat.

So it gets back to my original point: If Trump is such a bad guy, you wouldn't need to help "convince" non-Liberals to despise him. No one is convincing non-Conservatives like me to despise Biden other than Biden and his administration. If people would just shut the F' up about Trump, he'd go away. But sure, maybe in YOUR area, MAGA hype is still a thing. That must be just your part of the woods.

[MCheetah]

@WhiteSteve
Also, you're insane if you think Trump started "America's divide." That sh*t has been going on since 9/11. Where have you been at since 2001? In 2001, I *was* a dumb-ass 15 year old Liberal/Democrat. So I've been on "both sides," to speak. (Liberal and Non-Liberal; still not a Conservative or right-leaning.) 9/11 started the divide, Occupy Wall Street being mutated into the beginning of Woke Culture spread the fire, the lying mainstream media (the real guilty party of this hate, not Trump) poured gasoline on the fire, and COVID lockdowns threw a pipe bomb into it. Now the whole forest is going down and you want to blame the random Orange Man for it...

[bolverk]

Why are democrats still obsessed with Trump to this day?
It's probably that even though he was never a career politician he was more effective as Prestident than a career politician, If you look what he said he would do upon taking office he managed to get 75% of it done despite the democrat machine throwing every roadblock they could in his way.
And a say this as someone who doesn't live in the US and I detest Trump as a person.

[tafarrier]

OK I got this easy one.

He was a Con Artist. All Show.
Like the apprentice except its ''Donald Your Fired.''
after his failures in Atlantic City. trump settled for putting his dads name on over seas hotels. Dons hotels.
he gets a $100 kick back. after sitting at a empty desk for a yr or so. TV executives hired him to be the TV Mini Mega Business Man, That fires people.
thats the image Trump Supporters have of Don. a illusion.

Then the unspeakable.
A American President Urged Extreme supporters to charge the capital.
Not since the war of 1812 has the capital been taken over by a none American power.
No the Election wasn't stolen by those pesky Democrats.
Its Just Stupid Those people lesson to him that long.

Stop the Steal, Stop the steal.
No Proof.
People just believed him because he repeated it soooo many times.

We Americans need to be able to make our own judgement. if they'll lesson see BS when its Everywhere.
Even the extreme Right congressman, were shocked Donald called the Crazy People out to take the
capital.

lets work together America

[NamerOfStars]

You think you wouldn't? Have you forgotten what Obama's presidency was like? Conservatives HATED that guy. And not because of his open alliance with hate movements or his treating the Constitution like toilet paper or even mildly controversial appointments and policies, either. Of course, that ENDED when he left office; fair enough if THAT'S what you meant.

But the hatred of Trump runs deeper. It's not because he's very conservative; he's easily the liberal Republican presidential candidate of my lifetime. It's because he's an outsider- someone from outside the political machine who capitalized on public resentment and distrust of that machine to catapult himself into the White House. This ENRAGES the establishment politicians he edged out, and they've passed word down to their followers and their spin experts, and most importantly their media contacts, that Donald Trump is to be demonized like no one's ever been demonized before. I doubt it'll stop even after he dies.

[JamesDiaz11]

Because his presidency was such a slap in the face to their entire world view that it's still "traumatizing" to them. They've grown up, coddled, assured of their moral superiority and assured victory, that it was devastating that not only are there people who would think differently than them, but that these people would actually win nationally.

Trump was a symbol that enough of the country thought their worldview was wrong that they weren't assured that all of their hivemind goals succeeding. They think if they destroy him then the right will never again be able to field a President who will push back their garbage.

[D_Bone_Steak]

All I know is I predicted that they'd be going on about Trump 2 years later and here we are... They're still freaking out. I mean the derangement syndrome is bad, and we get speeches about it from a guy that unilaterally stopped his border wall building to secretly is starting it again. It's just nuts... they're still going after him with the same fake Russia collusion BS even though they've failed like how many times now? That's millions of dollars being spent on their obsession with the guy over and over. It's crazy to even try and think about how crazy it is.

[MCheetah]

They literally have no other boogeyman to blame all their problems and failures on. These people are quite literally the most useless losers in all of society. Even pedophiles are more productive members to society cause at least most of them have jobs, not that they aren't equally scummy.

The TDS people sit around all day on Reddit and Twitter, stewing in their own hate. Unnecessary hate, mind you. Trump isn't even relevant anymore, yet they OBSESS over him! Even here on GAG; there's this one 30-35 year old pink anon loser who ALWAYS is posting hate content on Trump. Like, daily. She's such a loser, just like the rest of them. To obsess over someone you hate every day. Normal people don't do that.

[Msputiton]

I don't know why anyone still talks about him.

He wasn't entertaining as president, and just boring. He rambled and repeated himself, and constantly couldn't stick to a decision.

As president we had to pay attention to him, because he had some say in polices, but at this point i have no reason to care or think about him.

But both parties act like this man is the most important man in the world, and if they don't mention him once a day the world will explode.

[abc3643]

Trump is relevant because, unlike other ex-Presidents, it is he who wishes to remain in the spotlight. He is such a narcissist, that it is impossible for him to stay away from spotlight. Plus all of his legal problems are not helping. They will come to a crescendo soon enough.

[Alex8736]

I feel with the upcoming midterms the people who voted for the Democrats are now leaning towards the independent party due to ongoing issues like inflation, an upcoming recession and energy prices going up 75% but instead of focusing on current issues at hand they do nothing but finger point (both parties). Long story short is the Democrats are feeling pressure even from their own party (younger democrats) who are starting to steer away from the toxic ones like Nancy Pelosi in fear of The Republican party taking over the house. Just my opinion so we will see what happens in November and this is when we go out and vote

[purplepoppy]

Because Bidens boring. Trump on the other hand still entertains us with things like the FBI raid. Trump supporters are far more colourful characters too and are far more fun to poke than Bidens. Taking the piss out of Trump and his followers is like mocking Hitler but doing the same with Biden is more like mocking some geriatric with dementia, it's just not right.

[Anonymous]

You mean the ex-president who is currently under multiple investigations? The guy who has been accused of committing crimes while still POTUS?
Yeah, who would anybody want to talk about that? 🙄

[Opinion Owner]

Lol @ the disagreement vote.
Really? You don’t think these things are worthy of conversation.
🤦🏻‍♀️

[Bratsondanielle]

It's a which hunt that's been going full blast for 8 years soon. Even hard-core libs have a hard time keeping the spirits up anymore. Jan 6 ... hearings on tv... TV... now fbi investigating the empty folders... it's too much too long

[Opinion Owner]

@Bratsondanielle
Call it whatever you want. It’s ridiculous to think people are not going to talk about it.

[Bratsondanielle]

Yeah that's true... miss anonymous.. people always run their damn mouth

[Opinion Owner]

@Bratsondanielle
Right? The nerve of some people. Talking about current events.
Who do they think they are?

[Bratsondanielle]

Mostly libtards. Personally I'm tired of hearing about it and I have been for approximately 7 years and 5 months. It's the same damn bullshit. It's like a broken record

[RolandCuthbert]

I don't think you understand what the word obsession means.

Cesar Sayoc's, the trump bomber, van.

[likelyOK]

The stalking is weird and a bit creepy I never heard that but I get a lot of my news from TikTok then fact check. I’m definitely going to a wear a Biden shirt though now that he is giving student Lon breaks 😂

[likelyOK]

Loans*

[burlen]

Because the ex president has to face the consequences of his deeds before he became president and during his presidency. I think he brought it to himself.

[DCooper]

Because they're a bunch of brainwashed retards. The story about the blueanon out in North Dakota running that kid down didn't even surprise me. Believe, a lot of those fucktards have that in them.

[normalice]

Because he is the leader of the republican party and the republican party is openly sabotaging everything democrats do just so they can whine about it not being fixed yet in campaign ads?

[jshm2]

Because we love to read about losers who tried, and still failed.

Trump will go down in history as a loser who continued to dig his own hole. But also lead many losers down with him.

[exitseven]

On some level they all know that the election was stolen. They also know that Biden is the worst president America ever had and they also know that he will be easily elected in 2024.

[Twalli]

Because unlike past presidents, he did a lot of things he shouldn't have done when he finally left. Not to mention he is still saying that he is legally the president. If he is, then he can't legally run in 2024.

[Anonymous]

guess they think they can escape voters pain and frustration over inflation by bringing back memories of trump. although doubt it will work as only hard core liberals/democrats that worked up over him and they already vote democrat anyways

[Surely]

Because the swamp creatures are afraid of what he might expose of their crimes if he gets in power again!
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Which hasn’t exactly been done yet?
